CNN's Nguyen failed to challenge claims that Qana photos were staged

SUMMARY: CNN's Betty Nguyen left unchallenged the suggestion by blogger Charles Johnson that photographs taken after the July 30 Israeli air strike in Qana, Lebanon, were staged "for propaganda purposes," and that "Hezbollah controls a lot of the pictures and a lot of the media that you see coming out of Lebanon." In fact, Reuters, the Associated Press, and Agence France-Presse -- each of which has published photos from Qana -- have all denied allegations that photographs were staged.
