to tom tomorrow?

i've copied what's below from tom tomorrow's blog, this modern world...

not that we need anymore proof of just how low drudge will go, but here ya go... hope this isn't a dupe.
===============================================================

Here's my original photo of O'Reilly and Michael Moore outside the Fleet Center:



Here's the version that ran on Drudge's site--with photo flopped, red light changed to green, and other changes detailed a couple of posts back:



(It's still up on his site here, at least as of this writing.) (UPDATE: as I expected, the altered version of my photo mysteriously disappeared from Drudge's archive after I posted this link. But here's a cached version thanks to the wonder of Google. And I've got a screen cap in case this one disappears too.)

And just in case there's any doubt in your mind, here's Drudge's altered photo, flopped back to its original, proper orientation:



So basically, rather than just give a leftie cartoonist a small photo credit, he steals the picture and goes to the trouble of changing a red traffic light to green, flopping the image and altering traffic signs, all presumably in a clumsy attempt to give himself some sort of imagined plausible deniability.

What an asshole.

1. Drudge probably flopped it because

O'Reilly was standing on the left!

2. Yea I caught that right away...TY...EOM

3. Look at the street lights! More of an alteration

than simply flipping (to get O'Reilly on the right), but to put a green light over O'Reilly's head. Drudge is really trying to work the subliminals. (Which is ready indication of his credibility.)

Bill O'Reilly = America's Nanny. (Note the O'Reilly finger!)

[merh]

4. Drudge forgot to change the second stop light that is green to another

color, clearly he is even half-a**ed at altering other's images that he claims as his own.

What a creep - small, evil and stupid. Is he related to shrub?

5. Sludge uses photos for his propaganda all the time. You can count on

finding the most vile photos available on his site. Sludge learned this technique from the Enquirer. Bottom feeder.

6. Sorry, I don't get it.

[K-W]

7. He stole the photo and altered it to hide the steal.

And didnt credit the taker of the photo at all.

8. But thats what he always does

Why the outrage now? Thats why i don't get it.

9. if drudge alters this one measly picture

imagine everything ELSE he "alters"

that's the point.

10. We know he has little credibility. But these photos

reaffirm it and might convince others to be vary of his information (i.e, if he does this to photos, what the hell is he doing to facts???).

11. Drudge is a flip-flopper. :D

12. LOL!

13. Too good to let die easily.

:kick:

14. If he didn't ask permission to use the photographer's

picture, isn't that a copyright infringement?

[skip fox]

15. I wonder if Drude has run an item on Moore's alteration of

newspaper headlines?

He could be SLAMMED with this. The reversal could be a mistake, but NOT the stop light.
