There is an incredible amount of photo distortions in the media. I decided to concentrate on the Lebanese (Hezbollah) - Israeli conflict that occurred last year. Apparently, on multiple occasions, Hezbollah staged 'scenes' in order to release compelling pictures to the rest of the world.
This link explains, in detail, various types of photos captured. This ranges from using the clone tool on photoshop, to having reoccurring 'actors', to having staged photoshoots.

A very brief article about the attempts by Hamas to stage shots is here. There is a much better article out there that goes into detail about Hamas, but I can't seem to find it...

These two are quick links that I found now; there are many more out there about these specific occurrences. Nevertheless, before the media is able to grasp that the pictures are 'fakes', the world gains a -sometimes- unfair bias.
