MSM Claims Credit for Exposing Fake Iran Missile Photos By John Stephenson (Bio \| Archive) NEWSBUSTERS July 10, 2008 - 21:27 ET The Iranians doctored a photo adding in a fourth missile, to cover up a failed one. The blogosphere exposed the manipulated photo. Charles Johnson of Little Green Footballs was the first to the scene. However, the New York Times blog, The Lede, is taking credit for exposing this even though their report was given much later. FOX, obviously slacking on research, also credits the Lede. Ace sums it up the best: I'm not sure who exposed it, or how much credit Brian Ledbetter of SnappedShot should have (he was filling my email box), or LAHawk, but I can see that Charles Johnson exposed the picture as a photoshop at 9:00 PM Eastern last night while the NYT filed the same story at 9:00 AM this morning. Whether CJ (Charles Johnson of Little Green Footballs) deserves all the credit, I don't know. I do know the NYT deserves little of it, and ought to stop claiming otherwise. newsbusters.org
