'fake but accurate' at ny times

the ny times may be inconsistent when it suits it partisan purposes, money-grubbing without principles, selective in its reportage, and unnecessary and irrelevant (for hopeful righties)...
but it can never be said not to be dramatic

suppose there's a compelling story but not necessarily a photo to go along...
you fake it (via lucianne.com).
apparently, finding no picture of that rumored pakistani-zawahiri strike, the times went with stock photo [bugmenot login] of a elderly man and boy next to a foreboding 'bomb'. the problem is those pesky blogs de-bunked it

unfortunately the fake but accurate disease among newsies is an epidemic
