During the segment, however, Fox News featured photos of Steinberg and Reddicliffe that appeared to have been digitally altered -- the journalists' teeth had been yellowed, their facial features exaggerated, and portions of Reddicliffe's hair moved further back on his head. Fox News gave no indication that the photos had been altered.
After putting up the photos of Steinberg and Reddicliffe, Fox & Friends also featured a photograph of Steinberg's face superimposed over that of a poodle, while Reddicliffe's face was superimposed over that of the man holding the poodle's leash.
Below is a screenshot of Fox & Friends featuring the photo it used of Steinberg, with the original photo on its left. Comparing the two photos, it appears that the following changes have been made: Steinberg's teeth have been yellowed, his nose and chin widened, and his ears made to protrude further.

Similarly, a comparison of the photo of Reddicliffe used by Fox News and the original photo suggests that Reddicliffe's teeth have been yellowed, dark circles have been added under his eyes, and his hairline has been moved back.

Absurdly juvenile behavior on Fox?
Must be a Wednesday...
THIS is the article they were responding to.
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/28/ar...on/28rati.html
While a person may not agree with some of the comments made, I see nothing even close to comparable with Fox's juvenile behavior.
In fact, I think this Fox piece is part of the problem the article refers to in the first place...

And then they want to call themselves a "reputable" news organization....more like propaganda media outlet for the Gestapo
