Photo Fraud: CNN Resurrects the Rachel Corrie Libel
(Times of Israel) Shraga Simmons - In describing the verdict in the Rachel Corrie case, a CNN video report depicted Corrie standing in plain view of an Israeli bulldozer, with a megaphone in hand, as CNN reporter Frederik Pleitgen intoned: "These photos show the moments before she was killed." The CNN report is a lie. The photo was actually taken hours before the fatal incident, in front of a different bulldozer. The latest CNN report also featured a different photo of Rachel Corrie standing in extremely close proximity to an Israeli bulldozer. Yet this photo is a total fraud - a crude Photoshop job. Corrie's shadow is much longer than that of the bulldozer, while the man standing close to her in the photo casts no shadow at all.
