The Associated Press has been caught red-handed doctoring a photo for a press release on the Climate Conference. The organization took a black and white picture of a coal plant and added all sorts of ominous orange color to it, making it seem like Hell's Own Smokestack was spewing sulfur into the air.
Trouble is, they did a lousy job of it. A good friend of the Sidearm, who has worked in the field of image manipulation for 20 years, noticed the inconsistencies and blew the proverbial whistle. Since then, the story has snowballed all over the internet, and the AP has been directly challenged.
So, kudos to our buddy Drudge Potato Al! Keep up the good work!
As for the AP, I'd say shame on them, but it appears they have none left.
