"However, Newsweek’s objective in running the cropped version was to illustrate its editorial point of view, which could only have been done by shifting the content of the image so that readers just saw what the editors wanted them to see. This radical alteration is photo fakery. Newsweek’s choice to run my picture as a political cartoon not only embarrassed and humiliated me and ridiculed the subject of the picture, but it ultimately denigrated my profession."
He sounds like a first year art student on his first assignment. What was he expecting Newsweek was going to saw about the guy? That he's a saint? For someone who's been in the industry for over 25 years this is an odd fight to pick.
Further more the shot is crap to begin with. Looks like something my aunt would've taken.
