Photoshopped "news" photo on MSNBC.com?

I woke up to this photo on MSNBC.com's main "headline" image. (It may have changed now.)


I'm fairly good in photoshop and this looks to be a composite of two photos, one the auto and the guys on the left, and a different photo of the swat team guy in the forground. The light source angles are completely different for each!


I'm not up on the latest in news reporting ethics, but I thought photoshop like this was generally NOT accepted as accurate journalism. Anyone have an opinion here?
