I’m no fan of Biden, but I just see this as cleaning up a photo to hide distracting information. I remove electrical wires from some of my photos to clean them up. If this photo was not about pro sports, I’d understand why they took it out. The photo looks better and focuses on the subject at hand with less mental clutter.

Huh? LOL.

It's a news photo, dude -- not a marketing image or something for your home photo album.

I disagree. While you did it to improve the aesthetic of your photo, a news organization should not feel compelled to do the same.

I am not as willing as you perhaps seem to be to give CNN a free pass on this.

As a government employee in the Department of Defense, we were not allowed to alter photographs, unless we documented the changes, and the documents accompanied the photograph.

Wow, you are gracious this morning!

This is CNN. They should never be given the benefit of the doubt.

Usually you are logical, have you been hitting the Kentucky juice early today?

You are giving a pass to cnn for this act of communist propaganda?

We'll just disappear the REDSKINS LOGO.

CNN could not have said that any better. Propaganda is an art form.Making things vanish is what Nazis,Soviets,Chicoms and the Taliban have done. It seems the point has flown way over one's head.

Except this is news. It's something that actually happened. The news altered a historical fact in order to save a candidate from dealing with a potentially politically incorrect situation. Down the memory hole!
