Your Daily Dose of Photo File Bile

Who the heck signed off on this crummy photo from AFP/Getty? Are photographers so lazy that they're now using tree branches to create the effect of barbed wire?

There's definitely a pattern in photo file bile. This is the same photographer I blogged yesterday over a different file photo.
Remember the old days when photographers used real barbed wire to create the effect of settlements as defiant and dehumanizing? I'm talking about images like this:

The West Bank Jewish settlement of Beitar Ilit is seen through a barbed wire fence, Friday, Sept. 4, 2009. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to approve some hundreds of new housing units in West Bank settlements before slowing settlement construction, two of his aides said Friday, in an apparent snub of Washington's public demand for a total settlement freeze.
