Let's see.
A photo that is fake but is supposed to be accurate.
I'd say what we have here is a case of Rathertography.

I don't know, Watergate set the standard - so why not use "gate?" I think "Rathergate" was pretty accurate. However, what we see from Reuters, et al is something very different. And a new term should be defined. After all, with these recent fake pictures, news services are attempting to distort, bias, or otherwise lie about what is really occuring now in the Middle East. If something can think of a new term, I'm all for it.
Maybe Reuters is trying to "Tricky-dick" us into believing photoshopped ah...photos!

I hate how everything is "gated." I thought Rathergate was a lame word, too.
BUT...now that I've tagged all of my Hajji stuff REUTERGATE, I will not allow the word to die!
I do think the name "Hajj" is ripe for exploitation, though. It's just so EASY. Hajj, Hajji.
"He went on a photo hajj."
"That's totally a photohajj, if I've ever seen one."
"Those f***ing hajjis at Reuters are at it again."

I like both "smoke" names, Jay! Sorry to be non-commital, but they both have their strengths. Up in smoke descibes Reuters' credibility (what they had of it to begin with) and blowing smoke describes what they have been doing. Either would be excellent.

I think we should simply start using the term "Reutered" to continue the infamy that Reuters has brought on themselves and made synonomous with Photoshopping a news photo. It may even end up becoming a verb like "Google" ("Damn, that picture sure looks like it was Reutered!"). As a so-called "trusted" news source, they need to be taken to task for even allowing this kind of obvious attack on the integrity of our MSM news reporting process. Although Reuters has removed the doctored picture, I'm still looking for them to go through all of the pictures they've been provided by these propagandists and publicly release their findings as well as take specific actions against the fraudsters. Let's not forget that the real issue is whether this leads to a deeper unmasking of media spin by embedded Islamofascists to affect Western media and sympathy. We may be looking at the tip of theiceberg.
I agree that the "-gate" suffix has been so overused in applying to any scandal that it's beyond old and it should finally be retired.
