Attn DC Freepers: On the FRONT PAGE of today's business section, there is an article..."Big News Media Join in Push to Limit Use of Unidentified Sources" ( an excellent article, BTW..I did a search and it hasn't been posted as yet..can someone please do so?) there is a pic which I am positive is of the DC Freepers protesting a few days ago. I recognize the sign.."Newsweek Lied/ People Died"

[ken5050]

You should name everyone else..sound the honor roll..the NY Times..is that the high or low point of your day?..

BTW..it was funny, I'm reading the paper in the emergency ro om this morning..we had a family problem late last night..all is well now...kind of glancing at the paper, half asleep..then I say to myself.."Self, you've seen that pic,a and that sign, before..

[Hoodlum91]

I'm no lady! :-)

Interesting ... by cropping kristinn, they probably also managed to crop out the WaPo building sign. Is there such a thing as Dowdifying a picture?

[ken5050]

In print version..they also cropped out the "Washington Post logo"...curious, eh?

[Doctor Raoul]

The kahki (white) pants and the dark blue shirt with most of his upper body covered by the signs is also a Freeper.

[Doctor Raoul]

Ah very good. Was feeling bad that I couldn't remember scren names. Next protest, you'll have to get Michael Graham to sign that book.

[sportutegrl]

Wow! Freepers are a diverse bunch.

[Spunky]

"The lady on the left with the "Newsweek Lied" sign is a Freeper too."

Is that Angelwood?

[rabidralph]

Is that a megaphone in your pocket...

[ken5050]

To describe what the print version cropped..left and bottom margins are the same as the website..right margin ends at "GOD B"..and top margin is just above the head of the the figure in the middle...

"Is there such a thing as Dowdifying a picture?"

Sure there is! Recall Time's Ann Coulter article? They turned Protest Warriors (with signs like "Criminals for Gun Control") into anti-Coulter protestors.

[OldFriend]

Did they crop him out so the American Flag wouldn't be visible?

[Do not dub me shapka broham]

The uproar over Newsweek's short article played right into this state of affairs. This administration, said David Remnick, the editor of The New Yorker, "is particularly intense in the way it plays on what it sees as the public's distrust of much of the media in terms of accuracy and ideological biases."

Yes, those darned Bush administration officials!

Coloring the public's view of a press corps that enjoys an otherwise sterling reputation.

(Prolonged eye roll.)
