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!

I have done some darkroom work and PhotoShop, too, but I am no expert. I think the overall tone of the photo was made harsher in addition to the eyes being made demonic. Notice that every little detail is just a little harder on the doctored photo.

It's safe to say that many photos are doctored, but this one is really butchered.

Thanks for another laff from the MSM. I await the apology.

I agree. The picture on the left was much more menacing looking to me.

Let's face it. She DOES look menacing when she's pi$$ed or annoyed.

Who said they did it because she's black? Everyone knows they did it because she is a Republican. Why else would they give her snake eyes?

The idea that they did it to "make it look better in print" is absurd when that clearly violates ethics and standards of journalism, not to mention that the first picture if fine and there were likely dozens more pool photos available.

I believe they cut the top of her lip curve off to make it appear more menacing and expanded the distance to nose somewhat.......

Probably the photoshopping was supervised by the same editors who have been making such blatant use of the angry Cheney photo.

The credibility of the "Mainstream Newsmedia" is zilch and dropping. This is why. Even its hard-core support--fanatic Leftist nutcases--know it's propaganda and do not look to it for truth. Nobody does.
