I’m just thinking- lets say you have a Danish reporter in the ME, covering stories about the israeli-palestinian conflict or whatever they call it today. She has no history of being very biased, she is known to be a bit to the left, but nothing radical. And then she gets some great photos from Gaza, that she altered just a little to give it a new meaning, in a way that you and me might find as manipulating. How can we know that she is questionable?
I just think that there will always be unreliable journalism, it really hard to put your finger on it all the time…

journalism is like sex…unreliable, and often flawed
