1. yep looks fake alright!! n/t

[mountainvue]

2. Okay.

Is it the angle? It just looks like a bad cut and paste job.

[alfredo]

5. The spotlights could have done that.

That what it looks like to me.

[jeff30997]

3. Fake. And a bad one.

[uppityperson]

4. picture is photoshopped, subjects are fake. n/t

[SupormomFreeAtLast]

12. lol Good answer

Every picture showing dubya as prez is a fake.

[blondeatlast]

6. The foreground and background lighting don't jibe.

Why is the foreground darker?

[NV Whino]

7. I thinkk it has to do with lighting

Harsh lighting will create those hard edges and hard-edged shadows. And the sublects are indeed fake.

8. Supposedly this is a photo

of their arrival in Europe.

[paineinthearse]

9. Another fake CNN photo????

Last week it was the Iranian nuke facility being passed off as the N. Korean one, now this.

These people are beyond belief.

10. I think it is just a matter of lighting, don't think fake N/T

[AnotherMother4Peace]

11. There was a real goofy looking George Bush

in the picture used prior to this one. It was only there for a short time. I hope someone saved it. They probably got the word to change it real quick.

[thinkingwoman]

13. bad fake

I'm much better with photoshop and I'm self taught.

[mountainvue]

14. Notice how he seems to be looking right at

the camera. With everything that is going on with the media, I just have to wonder.

[thinkingwoman]

19. I don't trust anything the media says anymore

nothing.

[TrustingDog]

15. bad clipping path on Laura.

Maybe it was bush's other wi... erm, SoS Condascending Vice that was p-shopped out.

Notice that SOS is a distress call...

[FreedomAngel82]

27. I personally am surprised

that Laura even went!

[SmokingJacket]

16. The seal looks like it's floating in space.

Could spotlights do that, too? I know nothing about P-shop.

[blonndee]

17. OMG I thought the same thing when I saw it on CNN. nt

[Straight Shooter]

18. The sky looks like it's embossed. Maybe the fabric wrinkled.

That is one weird pic.

Correction: that is one really weird pic. All pics of bush and/or laura are weird.

[jdj]

21. there's no shadow behind Bush's arm yet there's a shadow behind

that silver thing on the lower left. It seems like there should be a shadow just above Bush's arm.

24. when bush* landed in Brussels it was night time there...i saw it live

[zann725]

30. And I saw all the protestors! And some of their signs...

(which I can't repeat here)...were amazing. One of the more amazing ones was featured center screen on a local ABC broadcast. And they froze the camera on it for a while. (Something an ABC channel would NOT have done in the past. In fact, in the past, they would not have even covered the protest. Why the sudden change?)

"Times...they are a changing..." (perhaps?)

26. FKN, LMAO...ROTFF

OMFG, i just realised something. I don't know if this is just a coincidence but did you notice the colour of the wrinkled sky you speak of???

Is that the same colour as Air Force One blue? Why would the photoshopper use that colour when we all know they arrived at night? What are they trying to have us believe -- that they arrived in the daylight? It must be fake, yeah?
:freak:

[AnotherMother4Peace]

20. Did anyone see that goofy picture of Bush,

that ran with this story prior to this picture. It was on the CNN page for just a little bit, and was immediately replaced with this one. He looked like a goof ball. I'm wondering if anyone saved it. Thanks

[DWolper]

22. Faked???

WHY would anybody fake a picture of Bush and Laura getting off Air Force One in Brussels? Here is another angle:

The original posted pic (that was questioned) was taken by an AP pool photographer.
Here's a pic from a Reuters photographer. Note the same kind of high contrast outlines:

Since I saw the video just ten minutes ago and it all looked the same, I am guessing that there are no conspiracies here. Imagine that.

This is nothing more than exterior flood lighting on a dark tarmac and gives a very precise contrast image.

This kind of stuff is silly - and frankly - embarrassing.

[exploited]

25. Have to agree DWolper

Thought I'd back you up with a little more evidence to show:
a) Life is not a hollywierd movie set
b) Not all DUers are reflex action morans and instant experts
:evilgrin:

28. I half agree.

The photo may be legit. I never saw them board that plane myself. On the other hand, the photo looks like a bad photoshop. There isn't enough scrutiny in today's media environment. That's why CNN thinks it can get away with the fake Iran-NK pics. It's not embarrassing, it's thorough.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

23. yes a fake

[allalone]

29. don't be so silly

the "wrinkled" blue part IS the airplane, the pointy part with the black edge is the side of the stairs, the seal is on an open door. they are lit with bright light. Not everything is fake in the bush world, just most things.
