The DR is currently headlined in a huge font, "'BIG SIS' ADMITS STORING NAKED BODY SCANS", showing a picture of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and a full-frontal image of a naked female body that appears to be have been taken by one of the body scanning machines that Secretary Napolitano's department manages.
Only one problem: the image is 100% fake (although real images that are much less revealing) are readily available on the web. For details, see: http://justgetthere.us/blog/archives/DISINFORMATION-Inverted-Body-Scanner-Image-Shows-Naked-Body-In-Full-Living-Color.html .
I know that Drudge styles himself a journalist -- and, in fact, I like his web site. But how can he justify displaying, without explanation, this kind of fraud photo? Is there some set of standards by which this constitutes good journalism?
