I could be wrong, but it really looks like someone went a bit nuts with the clone tool here...

Why would Reuters find this photo acceptable? Screenshot here in the event it gets pulled.

Holy cow... I think you're absolutely right. That's horrible on several levels... :-/

So glad we can have faith in the media, eh? :p

I did see those. Interesting though that nobody "big" has picked up on reporting this - cnn, msnbc, etc.

i got to them through drudge, so that (i think) might be a bit more widely read than ynetnews.com or whatever the other place was...

This morning NPR had a story about this. Reuters pulled the photo, and after finding another altered photo by that photographer, pulled every one of his photos from their database.

story here.
