Fox News airs altered photos of NY Times reporters

Summary: During a segment in which Fox & Friends co-hosts Steve Doocy and Brian Kilmeade labeled New York Times reporter Jacques Steinberg and editor Steven Reddicliffe "attack dogs," Fox News featured photos of Steinberg and Reddicliffe that appeared to have been digitally altered -- the journalists' teeth had been yellowed, their facial features exaggerated, and portions of Reddicliffe's hair moved further back on his head.

On the July 2 edition of Fox News' Fox & Friends, co-hosts Steve Doocy and Brian Kilmeade labeled New York Times reporter Jacques Steinberg and editor Steven Reddicliffe "attack dogs," claiming that Steinberg's June 28 article on the "ominous trend" in Fox News' ratings was a "hit piece." During the segment, however, Fox News featured photos of Steinberg and Reddicliffe that appeared to have been digitally altered -- the journalists' teeth had been yellowed, their facial features exaggerated, and portions of Reddicliffe's hair moved further back on his head. Fox News gave no indication that the photos had been altered.

After putting up the photos of Steinberg and Reddicliffe, Fox & Friends also featured a photograph of Steinberg's face superimposed over that of a poodle, while Reddicliffe's face was superimposed over that of the man holding the poodle's leash.

Below is a screenshot of Fox & Friends featuring the photo it used of Steinberg, with the original photo on its left. Comparing the two photos, it appears that the following changes have been made: Steinberg's teeth have been yellowed, his nose and chin widened, and his ears made to protrude further.



Similarly, a comparison of the photo of Reddicliffe used by Fox News and the original photo suggests that Reddicliffe's teeth have been yellowed, dark circles have been added under his eyes, and his hairline has been moved back.

1. As soon as we have a Democrat in the White House....

...and a bulletproof Congress we should strip KangaRoopert Murdoch of his citizenship and ship him back to Oz and to the rock where that cockroach crawled out from under.

5. On edit I included a bit of your description in the headline.

I hope you don't mind.

Thanks!

6. Not at all! We need to call this crap out for what it is & this example is classic.

The first moment I saw it, before I even read the article, my jaw fell in shock.

Thanks for drawing attention to it here.

3. Old story, with absolutely no national coverage. Why am I not surprised? As always,

no consequences for right-wing behavior.

This should have been a month-long story echoed constantly by the "liberal" media. Instead, it is only mentioned on commie sites like this.

Another example of the need for individuals to take actions that bring consequences down on the heads of those who prepetrate such obscenities.

But that will never happen. Our side does not like to fight. That is why we lose so constantly.

7. Fox was clearly using their own stereotypes in creating these caricatures.

It's shameful and it should be widely exposed.

I'll kick it to see if it can get any more.
