The real photo.
I write that because TMZ enlisted so-called experts who said the photo was real. But were those experts paid for their work? If so, checkbook journalism may have failed the one organization alleged to have made an industry out of it.
TMZ has made a living on being first with information the mainstream media was not even aware of how to get. And it's been accurate far more often than not. But this case reveals a "chink" in the armor of the suit of TMZ's success.
They got so caught up with the idea that the photo was real, they never stopped to consider that it may not be real.
The fake photo.
I also wonder how old the TMZer who led this effort were? Old timers who know about the Playboys of the period were quick to question the photo.
I can't wait to hear and read TMZ's explanation. I'm not happy they were wrong, nor am I sad. Just fascinated.
Stay tuned.
