BP Photoshops Crisis Images

Well this is embarrassing: BP has photoshopped images of its “crisis command center” to make it appear as though employees are watching several screens with images of the leaking well. AmericaBlog’s John Aravosis catches the company red-handed—you can clearly see white lines around the employees’ heads and the screens where someone cut and pasted the images. A reader points out to Aravosis that the meta info for the image is from 2001, so it appears as though BP took an old photo and pasted pictures of the Gulf well onto it to make it look updated. BP has apologized for the doctored photos but says it was the photographer who did such an amateurish job.
