A Victory

In the war against photos of reenactments, the first victory goes to MSNBC.com who now says they will not run faked photos anymore.

Having been prompted to think about this issue this week, our point of view is that there’s no reason for us to show pictures of a re-enactment when we can show you screen grabs of the actual address, even if we won’t have as much choice or image quality. Yesterday, we replaced still photographs we published from Sunday’s re-enactment with frame grabs from HD video, and will not use photographs of re-enactments on our site in the future.

Awesome, just awesome. Who’s next?
