The reporters/columnists often lack any Journalistic Integrity to write the facts, but instead they follow Government's positions and talking points, despite what the International institutions opinions are. Whenever a News organization and it's so called reporters misrepresent the facts and are merely just representing the Governments views despite to the contrary in the International community, as the case is in dictatorship countries where the Governments view are printed rather than facts, I then cannot trust that News organisation any longer in what they report.
Here is an example of what I'm talking about. These two pictures below that are from the same News media, Hurriyet's "Daily Garbage", two different stories, two different dates (one day apart), two pictures are the exactly the same, but one has been doctored. I can understand News Medias using pictures on file for different stories, but doctoring them must be a no, no.

Only "Black Sheep" are able to lead and have free thinking abilities, unlike the rest of you sheep. How else can one become a "Black Sheep". Surely not by being led by the nose by others!

It seems like you have already lost the argument and now want to divert attention with the usual sheepish comments.
bigOz wrote:Doctoring pictures is very normal in photos as such - why is it a "no no!" and what the fluck has it got with the paragraphs you wrote before your (not so) clever presentation? Do you seriously think the news paper will pay for a helicopter to fly over Istanbul to take pictures of the Bosphorus everytime there is an article about it?
Doctoring pictures or information in general is only done by those who do not have any Integrity to represent facts and no, it is not normal to doctor documents or pictures and present them as facts by any News organisations who have ANY Journalistic Integrity. What do you think, that there is only one picture of Bosporus Strait at the Hurriyet's archives, or did they stole that picture from someone else to use it as their own? As for the leading comments, it had to do with other stories with inaccurate printings done by Turkish Media which have been posted here many times, mostly relating to Cyprus.
bigOz wrote:The subject was about a possible Tsunami in the Mediterranean, so the guy used the best aerial picture of the place. He naturally got rid of the huge aircraft carrier in the middle of it and enhanced the picture - BIG DEAL! And based on that you firte away drawing all kinds of stupid conclusions.
So what does a potential Tsunami caused by a large earthquake under the sea in the Mediterranean has anything to do with what effects it would have in the Bosporus Strait. The answer is ZERO of course, because the Bosporus Straits will not be effected what so ever, therefore it was a pointless article with a doctored picture, hence the Aerial picture of the Bosporus Strait was not needed to be used at all. If anything, they should have used a picture of the Bosporus Strait from the water level to show what could be hit and damaged by any potential Tsunami from the Med and not an Aerial picture from couple of thousand feet that does nothing to show any dangers. Obviously, Hurriyet is also unable to write effective stories with effective pictures to support the story. But why not use the same picture as the one with the aircraft carrier in it. What difference would it make to the pointless Mediterranean Tsunami story? Perhaps they didn't want to be seen as using the same picture on two different stories only one day apart, so they thought they would be clever and do some doctoring. I'm sure they fooled a lot of their readers who did not pay close attention to details, but they failed to fool Kikapu, as always, just as when you supposedly posted a picture of yourself here on the forum few years ago that wasn't you. No wonder you don't mind making excuses about this particular doctored pictures by Hurriyet's "Daily Garbage". You guys think alike in trying to deceive people with cheap tricks.

Do what you want with the electricity, because it's no skin off my nose. At least they are paying with hard cash for the electricity they use, unlike by the "freeloaders" in the north who do not pay their electricity bills.
