Every day people around the world see us on the front pages of newspapers and magazines, within multinational advertising campaigns, on the covers of best-selling books, in motion pictures and everywhere else images are used to tell a story.

"The power of imagery to create change"

Bain Capital,founded by Mitt Romney, already bought Clear Channel and now they are looking to buy Getty Images. Getty is the largest provider of photos for the media. If Bain is successful in their bid to buy Getty, they will be able to determine what images of the candidates are available to the press. There seems to be a pattern developing here....

Candidates do not control what the media chooses to show. Several times today on FoxNews a bit ran through the Republican candidates. Each time, they let McCain speak for himself, but the other three were shown more briefly as the host spoke over his picture.

I think that I have heard Mrs. C's voice on the radio news more lately than I have that of President Bush, which is seldom heard.

Romney left Bain 10 years ago.

Are you gonna start moaning about Dick Cheney and Halliburton, next?

Why is it so hard for you people to understand that Romney isn’t at Bain anymore? Are you really that dense? Even Duncan Hunter bought it, which just blows my mind.

Romney is not part of Bain anymore. There does seem to be a patter, republicans/conservatives taking on the Cheney/Halliburton “logic” of the left.
