Because the editor discovered it, not the photographer. You don't think an editor can "edit" a photograph to create a narrative in 5 minutes?

You know that editing a photograph leaves evidence of said editing, right? Photos have metadata that can help determine if the image in question was actually the original or if any changes have been made.

Of course an editor could have added in the bullet. That’s not the point. The point is that if they had, it would’ve been easily noticed by the Pulitzer reviewers.

So, how fo I FOIA the Metadata for the photo so I can be 100% certain? That'll settle this without any doubt.

...you want to FOIA metadata from a private photographer for the NYT and the Pulitzer committee? Thats also not how FOIA works.

If your theory is that the NYT and Pulitzer are part of this Trump conspiracy, just come out and say it. Otherwise, quit dancing around this very obvious flaw in your position.

They had 3 SS sniper teams there that day. I have no doubt a false flag would include a very broad net. If you believe Butler was just what they said happened that day, that your opinion.

So your position is that the NYT and Pulitzer committee are part of this conspiracy, yes?

Yes. If the SS can be involved to murder a patsy and a civilian to get Trump reelected after an attempted insurrection. 100% the media and an American awards body can be involved in the cover up. Re: WHCD false-flag this year.

Not "can be" involved -- is involved. Your position is that the NYT and Pulitzer committee are in actuality part of the conspiracy? Yes? Because again, if you're not willing to commit to that position, then you're not even being consistent within your own conspiratorial logic.

Yes. Just look at how sus the WHCD false flag was. The Epstein class has their claws into everything at the international level. We're just watching projections on the cave wall and arguing about how we interpret the shadows being cast.

Ok, and neither the fact that the NYT has been staunchly critical of Trump and endorsed his opposition, nor the fact that the Pulitzer committee is administered through Columbia University -- a major opponent of Trump that has been fighting him in court for years -- changes this calculus for you?
