USA Today Publishes Altered Condoleezza Rice Photo
USA Today published an AP report about Condoleezza Rice declining to rule
out that troops could be in Iraq for ten years. A photo was posted of Rice
in this article and it's hard not to notice that the photo looks unusual. In
this extremely unflattering photo Rice looks almost as though she has been
possessed.

But wait! Turns out the photo has been altered. FromThePen has found the
original photo. Rice's eyes were changed to give her this demonic look. It's
a quick and easy thing to do and creates a subtle, but effective, look of
aggression.

How low will the media stoop to make officials of the Bush administration
look bad? It's a good thing that alternative media is now keeping an eye on
the mainstream media, or USA Today might have actually gotten away with
this!

NewsBusters has an excellent posting on "responsible photo ethics" that
provides the guidelines for editing photos and then proceeds to say:

It is quite clear that USA Today violated these guidelines, creating an
image that was a misleading, decidedly negative representation of an
individual. The person or persons who directly manipulated this photo and
the person who allowed it to run should be disciplined, and possibly
terminated for a gross and deliberate abuse of journalistic integrity.

Well said!

What really would have been a trick is to make her look attractive.

Guess you forget the picture of the tearing down of Husseins statue
which was staged and faked by the neocons.

Besides, Rice is possessed.

Let's not forget the staged "Mission Accomplished" landing.

Each has shown its partisan ignorance and utterly scandalous,
incompetent attempts at journalism. Many times over.

USA Today sent Michael Moore to the Repub convention as their
correspondent. How fucking WRONG is that?

AP proves daily that they more closely resemble an anti-Bush
propaganda coalition than they do an honest journalism organization.

CNN is quoted daily on MRC.com with utterly daft anti-Bush snivelling.

Nevermind that Gannett is one of the GOP's biggets donators.

Nice try, getting in a tizzy about a pic that was never published (it was
only on the website).

Rove and Libby and others are still going down for their lies tomorrow.
