...it's not dark yet, but it's gettin' there...
Fans of photoshopped news photography might want to check out this one, which won a Pullitzer Prize, which I suppose is a lot like Yasser Arafat winning the Nobel Peace Prize. The photographer (and I assume, the digital manipulator) was none other than terrorist associate and propagandist Bilal Hussein, now in the custody of American forces.
A commenter to The Jawa Report broke this story, so check out Howie's post for more details. The dude "sitting on air" is the clincher.
this is a really threatening shot. I wonder what the photographer was doing there, right in the middle of war scene?
Posted by: Mr. Drug Rehab on Sep. 25, 2006Pullitzer Prize for photography is given only if the picture is Photoshopped.
Posted by: Jake on Sep. 25, 2006Terrorists again…it is sadly. Why did it won the prize? I cannot believe that there were not other pictures which could win the prize. I hate all that it is connected with terrorism and I hope that this war will end soon and peace, love, hope and gladness will replace it.
Was that serious? Or just a 3nd grader?

Apparently, I'm the "3nd" grader. Teaches me to be mean to little kids.
