Caught “red” handed!

Chinese Photoshop job

China Eats Crow Over Faked Photo Of Rare Antelope
Earlier this week, Xinhua, China’s state-run news agency, issued an unusual public apology for publishing a doctored photograph of Tibetan wildlife frolicking near a high-speed train.

The deception—uncovered by Chinese Internet users who sniffed out a Photoshop scam in the award-winning picture—has brought on a big debate about media ethics, China’s troubled relationship with Tibet, and how pregnant antelope react to noise.

see this. a couple weeks ago.

the reporter was fired right away (perhaps learning from the tiger fisaco in the above comment).

however, it may have stirred controversy in antelope, etc. but what it has not stirred up in China is "trouble with tibet" -- such impression is entirely something in that reporter's mind :)
