skyringI don't often get into political subjects, but I'm always interested in tales of media enhancing or distorting images to make for a better story.
Here's a couple of recent examples:
Israeli missiles punch holes clean through centre of Red Cross on Lebanese ambulance!
Staging photographs of destruction.
My opinion is that the devastation is horrific enough without trying to make it more spectacular. Every time something like this is exposed, it takes away from the true horror of war.
