Newspaper Uses Photoshop To Make Syria Look Even Worse Somehow
Newspaper Uses Photoshop To Make Syria Look Even Worse Somehow
The Kronen Zeitung is Austria's largest newspaper, with a daily
readership of around three million people. Yesterday, those readers were
treated to the image on the left of war-torn Aleppo, bombed out and
desperate. Except, as one sharp-eyed Redditor points out, that wasn't
the scene at all. It was just another Photoshop job.
Just to be clear, the family in the photograph is, in fact, in Syria;
the original photo (on the right) came from the European Pressphoto
Agency. But merely fleeing a city ravaged by guns and mortars apparently
isn't quite dramatic enough on its own. The editors of the Krone—as
it's commonly called—needed this baby to sing.
Using Photoshop to make actresses and models look unrealistically
attractive is bad enough. Using it to make a part of the world that has
enough problems as it is look even more apocalyptic? That's just
disgraceful.

+1Yeah, a lot of the stuff we have been hearing and seeing about Syria (just like Iraq and Libya) is uncorroborated, exaggerated, or fictitious. But we should go to war anyways just in case everything turns out to be true, right?reply -
