Nachum (FR): Exposing Gateway Pundit’s Dishonesty: He Altered a CT Scan Image to Trick His Readers

I was taking a “wait and see” attitutde to this whole, “eye socket” thing and Jim Hoft, but once CJ jumped in, it’s like a sign that Hoft is really on to something.

It was obvious to anyone with a quorum of neurons that connect that Hoft had to use a stock image. What, he got illegal copies af the officer’s scans and illegally posted them, all before anyone else got a peek? Yeah, not buyin’ CJ’s lunacy there.
