Some of my better friends in the news biz were photojournalists (as they like to be called) and some of them were scrupulous about how they obtained their pictures, doing their best not to influence the news images they captured even as they operated with the pack.
But a few were far more cynical, to the extent of posing their “news” subjects and otherwise creating their photos through the manipulation of available objects, such as broken dolls carefully arranged for a disaster-aftermath picture.
None of the ones I knew carried throw-down dolls or torn teddy bears for the purpose but I’ve heard of such. This young photojournalist in Israel hasn’t discovered that yet, but if he keeps on digging into his colleagues’ unseemly alliance with faux Palestinian “rioters,” he well may.
