It is amazing how a photographer for a renowned company like Reuters thinks he can get away with manipulating images trying to cheat the general public.
It is a dangerous practice, as it could lead to all sorts of reactions. Lets just hope no one will get hurt from these low practices

You are right, the poppy pin is a dead give away.

[...] To be fair, a website is not a high profile media event. On the other hand, it is the party’s official website, and the rightosphere notices the DNC’s page, Democrats.org, when they make mistakes. [...]

The “funny lapel pin” is actually a poppy; worn in Canada for Remembrance Day on November 11, commemorating the end of World War I.

Reading back through the thread, I can't believe I didn't notice the poppy immediately. Too late, I provide this: a Commonwealth tradition, inspired by a Canadian poet, hosted here on an American website. (One that should give the align=center a rest, incidentally.)

As someone who has dabbled with photoshop, many of the images that were easily caught were not done very well. If a photo is carefully planned and doctored it is a lot more difficult to detect. So you can imagine that these carelessly presented images are only the tip of the iceberg. I keep telling my friends that the giant iceberg who’s submerged section is visible, the giant cats and other animals, the great white shark going after the diver on the helicopter - these are all fakes. Yet so many are taken in completely by them. Photo trickery has been with us pretty much as long as photographs have been around.

Charles of LGF updated his post on the DNC page to say that it the photoshopping was done by the original photojournalist for some sort of copyright reasons. Dems didn’t change the picture, although they did foolishly run it in the first place. For what it’s worth.
