Reuters and AP publish photo of Israel’s prime minister frozen in Heil Hitler salute. Both wire services, supposedly acting independently, decided that showing Benjamin Netanyahu in this pose was ethical journalism.

  • Remember the picture of Sarah Palin's legs in 2008 and all the halo pictures of Obama? And when they're called on their bias, they have the nerve to act like they don't know what you're talking about.

  • Yes, of all the hundreds of photographs taken that day at the UN, Reuters and the AP just happened to chose these two. It's something I expect from two leftist, pro-Islamist, propagandizing "news services".

  • Disgusting and just flat out uncalled for. These two so called news services have no problem portraying conservatives as nazis either. Maybe their editors in chiefs should start wearing sheets and hoods when out in public.

  • Maybe Reuters and AP would prefer the stiff one finger salute, because that's what I'd give them.

  • Words... well words sometime fail, but a picture is worth 1000 words. No wonder distrust in the media is at an all time high. I have one word for Reuters and the AP, dummkopf!!!

    • Yeah, I'm surprised they didn't take their little joke further by reversing the image so the right arm was up. But then the UN image would have been wrong and someone might have noticed.

  • Amazing. Yet they wonder why their approval rate is falling throught the floor, & is now heading toward the earth's core.
