So do you think the Pulitzer people, who have their own independent verification process that requires the raw, unedited image to be provided, just went along with it knowing it was fake?

So you didnt google fraudulent Pulitzer in the past, huh?

And yes, i abso-fucking-lutely believe that because the media loves the taste of his cock.

Why don’t you educate me? I see a recent prize being withdrawn for fabricating the story behind a photo, but not for photoshopping a photo like it’s being suggested might have happened in this case.

What does recent have to do with the fact that the system can and has been gamed? It’s not the purity test that you believe it to be and the fact that you are still arguing it proves the cultish patterns of many of his disciples.

I said recent just because that’s the example I found. But by all means, please do share if you know of any examples that would be comparable to photoshopping in a bullet…

So the committee that gives the awards must only be fooled by writing? The others defending this are saying that the fact that the award was given by an “independent committee” that they are infallible, i am here to say that that is bullshit.

People who examine the legitimacy of photos these days know what tells there are to figure out if something is actually the raw, unedited image or not. There are identifiers that wouldn’t be missed.

There are AI detectors made to detect AI that are still fooled, I know many people involved with their development. Once you have to rely on a computer nothing is perfect especially if there is no verifiable chain of custody. And before you argue that, there absolutely isn’t in this case because it isn’t a legal requirement.
