Austria's largest newspaper, Kronen Zeitung, has been fishing in the depths of the cesspool that is modern "journalism" and very much living up to the connotations its tabloid format conjure up. Not content with showing a family who are fleeing the violence in Syria, they obviously felt it was necessary to "sex up" the photo by superimposing the image of the couple on a backdrop of a badly damaged building.
All credit goes to a poster on Reddit who spotted the blatant Photoshop job. Naturally you are left with the impression that this couple are fleeing a Syrian Army onslaught whereas they could just as easily be fleeing the so-called "rebels".
