THAT'S a world-class photo? THAT?

I guess it helps push a political agenda for economic reforms and the elimination of economic responsibility for bad decisions. On that basis, I guess the snap is OK. [/s]

“Detective Robert Kole must ensure residents have moved out of their repossessed home, Cleveland”

Completely false title. Does that look like an ordinary house? Mismatched picture.title. Cop clearly has reason to check the place out carefully.

Might as well have a picture of a doctor after a baby delivery, covered in blood, with a title like “Jew after blood drinking session”

I’m not impressed with the quality of award winning photos these days.

I thought I heard that Dear Leader had halted all foreclosures and brand-new Escalades were being issued at county courthouses, nationwide...

I remember a time when a photo had "action," meaning that, if you captured some guy pointing a gun, you'd want to "see" what he was pointing his gun at.
