Advantage: Charles Johnson

First Dan Rather, Now Iran.

Nicely done
, Charles.

Update: You Dishonest Hacks

Early this morning, I left a comment at the Lede noting that Charles was not only the person who exposed this fraud, but Dan Rather's faked TANG documents as well.

Nine hours later, the comment has yet to clear moderation. Mike Nizza and Patrick Witty apparently don't feel like sharing their stolen credit with the person who actually exposed this fraud.

2 Did bionic pick up on the photo shop or simply 'find' the original photo's provided by Iran?

3 Do you really expect any of the MSM players to acknowledge new media -- whomever within that was first -- in any significant fashion? Esp. if it was the person who made so many look so foolish in regards Rathergate?

4 Read this thread it was a guy called bionic ... Charles Jhonson has no credit for the story all credit goes to the guys @http://www.militaryphotos.net That says it was posted 1 day ago which would be Thursday. Charles broke this on Wednesday. You are mistaken.

5 NPR did mention LGF in its story on the pictures, and even omitted the usual "right-wing" sobriquet in referencing it. BUT, after acknowledging LGF had it first, virtually the entire story was about how the NYT responded to the fakes, including a breathless description of a photo-editor rushing into the publisher's office waving the photo and saying it was a fake. These folks love to fawn over each other so much, they don't let simple facts get in the way.
