A Chinese newspaper has had to grovel to readers following the discovery that an award-winning photograph of a herd of Tibetan antelope, frolicking under the controversial Qinghai-Tibet railway as a high-speed train passes overhead, is a fake.The fabricated photo was released in 2006 by the state-run Xinhua news agency to rebuff criticism of the railway line's impact on endangered Tibetan wildlife. It was lauded as the "most memorable news photo of the year" by China Central Television (CCTV).
I'm shocked....not.
Pretty obvious shop, but maybe hindsight is just 20/20.
