This WAS used in the print article. But they cropped it!!! They cut it off just below communistsforkerry.com. You can't tell it's a pro-Coulter sign. You can't see the "Criminals for Gun Control" at all! Our "objective" media at work again.

So much the better.

In a future book, Ann Coulter can use that cropped photo and juxtapose it with the uncropped photo to demonstrate how Time Magazine used the editing of photos for propaganda purposes just as the Soviets once did.

The Commissar Vanishes..............Photographs can lie. ...............They certainly do in the Soviet Union from 1929 to 1953, the years of Joseph Stalin's dictatorial rule. Stalin's agents routinely arrest and kill as "enemies of the people" anyone who disagrees with his politics. Communist Party workers then try to remove any trace of these people from the photographic archives, and so from the media. ...................... The Commissar Vanishes exhibition explores this censored history. By the 1930s Communist "truth" circulates worldwide in party approved books. With airbrush or ink spot, the photo censors work quietly. But despite their power, they ultimately fail. The images expose decades of photographic lies. It's a stark visual tour through a society where freedom is not an option -- the culture of control that goes on to create the Berlin Wall.

Miss Coulter doesn't need to wait for her next book to use this blatant attempt to mislead their readership. She can use it now, in her public appearances.

And we can use Time's big screw-up at the D.C. Chapter's 7th Annual Freep of the White House Correspondents Association Dinner, on April 30th.

The WHCA, remember them? They're the ones who screamed bloody murder when they found out that Jeff Gannon used a day pass, a nom de plume, and White House press releases to write his reports from the White House Press Room; and he wasn't a "professional" like the MSM is. hahahaha

"...to demonstrate how Time Magazine used the editing of photos for propaganda purposes..."

Oh c'mon. It's one photo in one article that just got cropped so they could fit it on the page. They aren't some political instrument trying to influence people. they're just getting the news out. /sarcasm

(Just noticed my tagline again - seems to fit well with this discussion!)
