Katie's nip & tuck
New York Daily News ^ | August 30, 2006 | LLOYD GROVE, RICHARD HUFF and BILL HUTCHINSON

Posted on 08/30/2006 7:12:08 AM PDT by baystaterebel

Katie Couric slimmed down in the blink of a CBS eye. Tiffany Network officials admitted yesterday that an airbrushed photo making the bubbly broadcaster appear several dress sizes smaller appeared in its promotional magazine "Watch!"

The incoming "CBS Evening News" anchor said she didn't know about the digitally doctored photo until the September issue of the quarterly glossy landed on her desk.

"I liked the first picture better because there's more of me to love," the 49-year-old former NBC "Today" show host said, laughing off the manipulated publicity shot.

CBS wants us to view her as "perky", not "porky."

"I liked the first picture better because there's more of me to love,"

Sure. Whatever you say, Katie.

The CBS eye will be round when the photo is untampered.

Once again we see that CBS does not consider portraying things truthfully to be important. Not simply by passively allowing false information to be propagated but by going as far as to actively disguise the truth.

CBS News, is not a news organization and should not be treated as such.

The image itself was not only narrowed, but she was obviously airbrushed all over. It's most obvious when you look at the blue "triangle" shapes between her arms and torso.

I would be surprised if it wasn't a contractural requirement for most stars: "clause 4(b)7 all publicity stills shall ..."

It's one thing when an entertainer engages in digital manipulation to appear sexier to the home audience. It is another altogether when a "credible" "impartial" "journalist" can't be honest with the public about her own appearance.
