DEMONIZING CONDI

Check out the photo of Condoleezza Rice that was published by USA Today last week:

Notice anything peculiar about her eyes?

(Click on the Extended Entry for an explanation.)

No, Condi isn't possessed; the photo was manipulated.

This news comes courtesy of From The Pen, which found a pre-doctored version of the Associated Press photo on Yahoo! España:

Ask USA Today's Graphics and Photos Managing Editor, Richard Curtis (rcurtis@usatoday.com), what the ^$%#@+! is going on.

USA Today would like her if she would follow their instructions.

So much for being an organization that respects individuals.

What did they do to Condi ............... the Uma Pemmaraju "whites of their eyes" look.

;-)

Just an odd thought. Can you imagine the difference in the coverage of Ms. Rice if Billy Jeff had appointed her? Cannonized would be the only way to describe it. Man I have no respect for the LSM.

It appears that this should be as big a story as the Jason Blair fraud.

Reminds me of this.

Someone here, last month, did a wonderful presentation of how Time or one of the news mags cropped a picture to misrepresent it. Excellent read if anyone can remember the link.

Racism from the Racists who cry, "Racist!"

[beyond the sea]

The old established/liberal/socialist media is America's most ruthless, relentless, and destructive enemy.

Surprised they didn't add horns to her head!

The arrogance of the MSMers knows no bounds.

Please contact your congresscritters to register your objection to the proposed "Dan Rather Protection Act" a/k/a the Federal Shield Law, intended to place the MSM completely beyond the reach of legal accountability for lies based on "anonymous sources."

The old established/liberal/socialist media is America's most ruthless, relentless, and destructive enemy.

Worth repeating.

It would help, but she would have to renounce her right as a United States Citizen to dissent from the DNC.

"Someone here, last month, did a wonderful presentation of how Time or one of the news mags cropped a picture to misrepresent it."

Not sure if this is the incident you're talking about, but I remember that Time Magazine artificially darkened their cover photo of OJ Simpson that ran when he was first accused (charged? dont' remember) of murdering Nicole Simpson and that poor other fellow whose name I am too lazy to google for.

Now, OJ Simpson was a stinking murderer however, it was and is still hard to see it as anything other than the entrenched racism of the MSM, which of course they can never admit to, as the liberals can never admit to any of their flaws because they are so completely blind that they are completely self-blind as well.

They did get busted for it, so that was something.

Too long for a bumper sticker?

I know the thread you are speaking of, but heck if I can recall any title words.

It was a cropped photo of a child at a protest, but the bigger picture revealed, what, Palestine flags and so forth?
