THE CONDI RICE - USA TODAY SCANDAL - 10/25/2003
From The Pen ^

Posted on 10/26/2005 10:36:55 AM PDT by Jalapeno

Anybody see the difference between the two photos below?

-- OJ Time Mage Mug Shot Pic Left Out For Blogger's Bandwith --

You guessed it. The Time Magazine version on the right was deliberately darkened to make OJ look more menacing, because as any liberal journalist knows, black is bad. The whole black community was up in arms about this scandal – as well they should have been. Under the heat of protest, Time issued an apology.

Now, Anybody see the difference between the two photos below?

You guessed it. The USA Today version on the right was deliberately altered to make Condi Rice look more menacing. Notice how the whites of the eyes are highlighted to make her BLACK eyes look BLACKER and HATEFUL. The doctored photo is here on USA Today's site (they'll probably take it down with some heat). You have to look overseas here to see an unbiased version. Under the heat of protest, will USA Today apologize? Or, don't they care about racism when directed at "house Niggas" like Condi? Rathergate, OJgate, now Condigate! What will the MSM think of next?

And if anybody would like to see why I think this is a scandal, take a look at an enlarged version of the photos that I put into photoshop and animated. This is scandalous stuff folks!

It's hard to believe they thought they could get away with that.

I think it's more than the eyes. They switched women on us.

Even the "original" looks Photoshopped.

They'll probably claim the same defense as the Reuters photog that brightened up the famous "bathroom break" note.

Nah. Her arabist training with Brent Scrowcroft fit with her theology long ago. She is an anti-Semite. Period.

That is just unbelievable. Whoever did that and whoever allowed it should be fired.

I think the eyes in particular are meant to make her look like some sort of Blair Witch, or maybe someone possessed by an Evil Alien.

What ever happened to pottygate? What did the President go and when did he go [it]? Did anyone get the Poo-litzer prize? The Washington Compost?

Obviously, they are trying to subliminally influence the
vote among Stargate SG-1 fans.

Hmm, At first I was wondering if someone broke the story about Condi taking someone's first row seats at the U2 concert in DC the other week. The unfortunates were moved from row A to row Q so that Condi could make a 30-minute appearance at a 2-hour show.

another case of ED i suppose ;)

Okay I'm done being silly (in a serious sort of way) Any takers on what happens to USA Today? Can you sue for defamation if someone alters a photo of you to make it appear worse?

Terrible alteration. Now, on another peeve, wish folks would stop appending 'gate' to every scandal!

Indeed, and just what DOES a rogue press outlet have to
do in order to get their WH press pass cancelled?

I wish she could make herself look like. So when some idiot like, Senator Barbara Boxer, asks her when are we getting out of Iraq. She could could flash those eyes and tell the traitor to STFU. I think little ole Barbara would keel over and die.

They people they intended to influence will never know what they did.

They DID get away with it.
