Someone tweeted this to me a little while ago:

Nor is it unusual for photo cropping to dramatize the human element over peripheral *objects*.

See, those knives and that blood — those are just meaningless “objects.” Reuters really cares about the people more than the objects.

Good grief. I can’t believe the strained and absurd rationalizations the anti-Israel crowd is dredging up to make excuses for these cropped photos.
