Unger, you'd be singing a very different tune if that date stamp had been Nov 22.
You'd be saying, you see, the photo reached the paper on Nov 22. And even if it had, it could have been very late on Nov 22, still leaving several hours for alteration.
But, the photo had to be processed after it was received. It's not as though it came off the wire in finished condition. I've put up quotes explaining that. And, the odds are very great that the stamping occurred in conjunction with that processing.
And, it may have been an automatic process. You talked about how busy they were on Nov 22, but, were they any less busy on Nov 23? Weren't they still scrambling like crazy? Considering that we have a real live human being, Roy Schaeffer, who says that he received the fax of the Altgens6 photo at the Dayton Daily News at 7 AM on Saturday, Nov 23, it argues strongly for Nov 23 as the day of transmission.
But again, you would be more than willing to perceive this differently if the stamp said Nov 22. What you are doing is engaging in a severely biased, selective interpretation.
One thing is for sure: it would have been a lot better for you if that date said Nov 22. But, it doesn't.
