famous Photoshoped North Korean funeral photo "mandatory kill", i.e. DO NOT USE

If they don't allow ANY use of photoshop I guess they won't have any pictures. What's wrong with color or tones adjustment or sharpening? And this is just great, the news are full of BS, half-truth and manipulation, so why not be consistend and DEMAND photoshopped pictures?

Isn't this a manipulated picture? And I'm no talking about conspiracy theories.

I've just finished reading "Nothing to Envy" by Barbara Demick (on special Kindle Xmas offer). For anyone with an interest in what happens in North Korea this is a compelling read.
It makes you realise that although the news in the free world is often distorted, our freedom to point out that fact should be highly cherished.

I have that book in traditional paper form. Its a shocking book. I cannot believe the North Koreans are not killing their leaders. The people of Libya, Tunisia, Egypt and Syria never had things so bad as the North Koreans, who are literally being starved by their government. No one in the Arab world starves, though there is a lot of poverty, there is food for everyone. The Arabs demanded change because they wanted the freedom that they know people in other countries have. The North Koreans are so brainwashed that they have no clue what its like in the outside world.
 
If I ran a newspaper, I'd use the Photoshopped photo from N. Korea, along with a big bold headline about the dishonest nature of the photo and a detailed story about conditions there and how the people are fed fake news like that in N. Korea every day, and are not fed much else (The book by Barbara Demick referenced by others in the thread says many there eat nothing but corn cobs....minus the corn!)
 
Of course here in the OK the press never do anything immoral, disreputable or corrupt ... well one never sees it reported in the papers :rolleyes:

... actually, why is there so much shadow detail in the front of the space-suit, yet none at all in the shadow it's casting on the ground?

And yes bit of double standards going on here
