How could anyone be stupid enough to report that those bullets were fired? Or are they trying to imply that these bullets jus "didn't go off?"

I was surprised yesterday by reporting regarding Iraq. NPR had a long piece on how the surge was working. I mean NPR? I thought they were completely biased (what with their "all Katrina, all the time" reporting last year), but the NPR story gave me hope for Iraq. Then I got home and watched Gloria's little boy, Anderson Cooper, all over CNN and it was nothing but doom and gloom, as usual.

Shhhh. You're not supposed to notice that little detail.

Must be some of those wacky toon town bullets from that horrible Roger Rabbit Movie.

This has been up on Glocktalk.com as well. It is too funny. I sure wish people would throw free ammo at me!

No kidding, preferably in 308

Maybe she was just talking and someone with mad computer skillz put the bullets in the picture...

I don't have any idea what I'm talking about.

From what I can find out, the pictures are probably not photoshopped, but they are probably staged. Apparently the photographer is a Muslim that news agencies have outsourced to, and his pictures are frequently suspect.

See more here.

Well this picture is definitely suspect. Next he'll be submitting pictures of homicide bombers wearing explosive vests made out of Coast Guard Approved road flares.

Well, it's clear that someone is lying here. Either the woman is lying in her claim that the bullets hit her house in a raid. Or the photographer staged or doctored the picture. Or the media doctored the picture. Or all of those.
At the very least it shows that, at least as far as certain categories of knowledge, the media isn't careful at all about their fact checking.

Has the media ever let facts get in the way of telling a good story? I just loved Dan Blather on the national guard/George Bush story. Even after the info proved to be fake he still contended that while the evidence was false, he still believed the story was true.
