When battling a crisis of epic proportions and desperately trying to make up for the failures of your public relations department, don’t doctor a photo for no good reason and then call it “No big deal.”
A BP Photographer (it’s always the photographers fault, isn’t it?) felt ‘inclined’ to replace blank screens in the Houston control center with pictures from the feeds of submarines. Of course, he is apparently awful at Photoshop (as are all photographers, right?) and it was immediately spotted as a fake. I.E. jagged white borders, the pictures not actually fitting onto the screen. I’m starting to think their photographer was a five year old.
Obviously, this isn’t a big deal. At least they didn’t photoshop a thumbs up on an oiled pelican. But it’s another baffling decision to lie to the public and make us truly certain that nothing they say is true. I mean, a feed wasn’t online…a sub was at the surface…who cares…why lie about? At least don’t be dumb enough to get caught doing it.
