Tainted news: Adam Ozkose - Turkish photographer who took the faked pictures from the Mavi Marmara used by Reuters. It was Un:dhimmi that discovered who he likes to hang out with

Just Journalism’s The Wire blog reports that The Independent, The Daily Telegraph, The Guardian and the Financial Times all carried stories about the boarding of the Dignite al-Karama, the final ship in this year’s convoy attempting to break Israel’s maritime blockade of Gaza.

This was the only boat in this year’s convoy that had to be intercepted by Israeli naval forces. The Wire notes that the event could have been expected to prompt comparisons with the 2010 raid of the Mavi Marmara, during which nine Turkish passengers were killed when they tried to lynch Israeli soldiers.

Photoshopped Swedish flag atop a minaret - this would of course never happen

An editorial article attacking the far-right [i.e. anyone who doesn't want their country to resemble an outpost of the Caliphate- Ed] and calling on Swedes to celebrate “diversity not stupidity” on national day, has provoked a heated debate in the Swedish media on Monday

It transpires that the pictures were supplied to Reuters by a Turkish photographer and writer, Adem Özköse. In addition to his IHH (the terror-linked charity that organised the Turkish flotilla) links, he is also a journalist writing for the Turkish publication ‘Real Life Magazine’ and a writer of book supporting Islamism and in particular, the ‘Palestine’ cause.

Nice picture – and nice people you do business with, Reuters. More at LGF.

And, as last time, the bias of this fraudulent adulteration of news is in favour of the Jihad against Israel:

Eagle-eyed blogger Charles Johnson of Little Green Footballs was responsible for exposing Reuters’ Fauxtography during the 2006 Lebanon conflict. Examining photos of bloodied and battered Israeli naval commandos on board the Mavi Marnara, published by the Turkish press, Johnson has once again exposed Reuters’ doctoring of photos.
In the first picture, published in the Turkish newspaper, notice the “peace activist” holding a knife in the lower right corner:

The same photo released by Reuters has been cropped so that the knife, and potentially, evidence of the intentions of the “peace activists”, is removed: Read the rest of this entry »
