Mag Pushes Fake Picture of Obama Skeet Shooting

[madfranks]

Because, you know, he "goes shooting all the time". Apparently someone photoshopped a shotgun into his hands, and took out the golf club.

President Obama recently told the New Republic magazine, "Up at Camp David, we do skeet shooting all the time." Today, after some suggested the president's claim might not be true, the New Republic tweeted a picture supposedly proving that Obama has gone skeet shooting:

@tnr: PHOTO: Obama shooting skeet at Camp David. http://whitehouse.gov1.info/camp-david/index.html … (from http://whitehouse.gov )

And here's the picture the magazine pointed to:

The only problem: the picture is a fake, and not hosted on the White House's website.

Within minutes the magazine had deleted the tweet and admitted its mistake:

We see it! We see it! Not the White House!

And then the magazine blamed Twitter for its mistake:

OK, everyone. Apologies. Twitter sometimes leads to quick accidents.

That photoshop job is almost as bad as his birth certificate.

This is a good example of today's serious pro media journalism. They Twitter.

Manasquan, NJ --(Ammoland.com (http://www.ammoland.com/))- Ok, if you are gun news junkie, like we are, then you know that the web has been all worked up, talking about how New Republic Magazine was duped by a fake Twitter photo of the anointed one, President Obama, skeet shooting.
You can see the image in question above, but we thought as public service we would highlight some more supposedly fake photos of our president, skeet shooting or talking about skeet shooting, just so no other news service winds up with egg on their face.
