Don't trust your eyes


You have to try to understand people who will do anything to convince one to believe in their point of view. For instance, the media lying and making false pictures to support their claims that global warming is a grave threat about ready to destroy us all.

As these pictures show the media will go to any length to deceive you. Here is a brief description of what one blogger discovered about these photos:
"Kate McMillan did some fantastic work yesterday uncovering image manipulation by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation on an April 19th story about the government's sobering Kyoto costing. McMillan discovered that the CBC had cropped and applied a photoshop "dirty" filter to an image of smokestacks in Toronto to accentuate environmental damage. Not only was the juxtaposition of pollution and a story on Kyoto costing inappropriate (a less but still inappropriate image would have been a photoshopped stack of papers stamped 'Kyoto' crushing the piggy bank of a Canadian family) but to manipulate an image to reflect a editorial point of view is downright unethical. The image was also used in a news story back on February 14th."
