Can someone tell me what Tony Blair is doing talking to a News Corp conference?

At a rough guess, trying to find an audience that won't pelt him with dog faeces or go "Yo, Blair, you useless twat"

Anyone else heard about the doctored photos from Royder's? (is that how it's spelt?)

I admit I heard this from a radio show, but after all, it was a blogger who discovered it; so very probably I'm not the only one who has heard of it...

Photographer in trouble over images
From United Press International
August 08, 2006 6:52 PM EDT
BEIRUT, Lebanon, Aug 8, 2006 (UPI via COMTEX) -- Reuters says it believes a free-lance photographer in Beirut doctored at least two photos of the conflict in Lebanon.

The news agency has withdrawn all of the 920 photos in its database that were provided by Adnan Hajj, the BBC reports.

Hajj told the BBC he did not manipulate any of his photos. He said in one case, where Reuters says that he darkened smoke in a shot of an area after an Israeli airstrike, he had cleaned dust off the picture.

Bob Bodman, a picture editor at London's Daily Telegraph, told the BBC he believes the photograph was manipulated using computer software, although he described the manipulation as very clumsy.

Reuters says that Hajj also allegedly added flares to a shot of two Israeli jets.

The alleged problems with the first picture were picked up by bloggers, leading to an internal investigation at Reuters.
