It’s fine to be skeptical about Reuters’s possible agenda. Once.

When they crop out the same thing, a knife, in two different pictures, we have either an editorial decision or a “freedom flotilla” sympathizer at work. Or both.

Just ask yourselves this question: If there’s a picture of a crazed Israeli nutjob attacking Palestinian Authority police with a knife in his hand, are we gonna see that knife on Reuters?

Thought so.

Also, I haven’t notice any other alterations in any other pictures. The only two pics they cropped were the ones with the knife.
