I saw this on one of the Internet news sites today. it is a terrible thing to have done for several reasons. First it is clearly unethical. Second it makes BP look bad and hurts an already tarnished rep. It hurts the truly hard working BP employees who are really trying to solve this disastrous situation. Lastly it hurts all of us serious photographers who use Photoshop judiciously and disclose significant manipulation.

Seems like much ado about nothing as they simply filled the blank screens with the same images already in the photo. It would be different if they weren't copies of what is already there.
