Australia's "Media Watch" did a storyon the finding versus looting story. With detailed responses from both photographers that also wrote the captions.
I could understand those stories being a sign of media racism if they had been written by the same people. But they weren't.
In one response the photographer himself was almost suffering a nervous breakdown due to the response the image was getting in the media. Informing Media Watch that he had lost his home, his life and family members and was at no stage in his life to be rationalizing one word in his entire career.

I found that a convincing argument.
