Fauxtography

To my reader out there who hasn't heard of Green Helmet guy so she didn't get the joke in this picture. (ht Instapundit):
Read this.

As a matter of fact, read this one too. It's from the Jerusalem Post and notes the stories printed all over the place after the 2 Fox journalists were released.
t the press conference, Centanni and Wiig, who were forced by their Palestinian captors to convert to Islam, praised the Palestinians. Centanni said, "I just hope this never scares a single journalist away from coming to Gaza to cover this story because the Palestinian people are a very beautiful, kind-hearted and caring people that the world need[s] to know more about." Wiig similarly praised the Palestinians.

While their remarks were covered extensively, no one seemed to think that the fact that their first post-release statements were made at a Palestinian Authority sponsored media extravaganza in Gaza was significant. No one noted that the men were flanked by Palestinian "security forces," and stood next to Hamas terrorist leader and Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh.
Exactly.
