Mind you fellow redditors

This - is - the - biggest - newspaper - in - austria

And the other one´s do it too, although more subtly, painting the rebels as good and Assad as the ultimate evil.

Can anyone confirm the picture in the printed version of the 'Kronen Zeitung', please. If it's real I would suggest informing serious newspapers about it. It's summer time, news are slow and I'm sure it would be happily reported...

One of them is clearly photoshopped, or there is a time machine involved.

Oh yes the "Kronenzeitung", quality reading material, like Fox news on paper.

That picture sums up the news feed that we here in Europe get about the middle east in total.

This should be sent to all the other newspapers and tv stations. It's a shame.

If we don't act up against things like this it will be getting even more out of hand. Photoshopping should be strictly prohibited in newspapers.

I just sent a mail about the photoshoping in the 'Kronen Zeitung' to the editors of a serious Austrian newspaper. Let's see if the story get's printed. People need to know that the 'Wag The Dog'-story happens on a daily bases and have to be more alert in this regard.

One thing I missed in the first reading: This was a European publication, not a Syrian one... I've been seeing a lot of blame placed on the FSA for this incident.

The headline roughly translates to "Assad's army is rolling with tanks to the south- "Mother of all slaughters."

We have got to have some way to oversee the verification of news photographs and audio. It is too easy to fake these days.

Title is slightly misleading. Appears the photoshopping was done in Austria.

Upvote this and there is hope for a broader questioning of the media concering the syrian conflict.

I took a class called moral implications of the digital information age. If the class could be summed up in one sentence, it would be, "never believe any picture you see ever again."

"The media's the most powerful entity on earth. They have the power to make the innocent guilty and to make the guilty innocent, and that's power. Because they control the minds of the masses.” ~ Malcolm X

Wait, wait...before you upvote for going along with the idea Assad's an okay guy...

As someone who has a lot of friends with families in Syria--and in Aleppo, specifically--who are fearing for their lives each day, it seems like a lot of you have this whole situation a biiiiiiit backward.

But yeah, yeah...rebels, bad. Longstanding oligarchy, good.

WTF, indeed.

It is just a little background to provide context to a narrative. It does not change any facts.
