The New York Times has been accused of bias by conservative US media after cropping George W Bush and his wife Laura out of its front-page image of the Selma anniversary march.

The former Republican president took part in Saturday's march across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama to mark 50 years since one of the bloodiest episodes in America's civil rights movement.

But the photograph on the front page of Sunday's New York Times, which showed Barack and Michelle Obama leading the anniversary march, appeared to cut the Bushes from the right-hand side of the image.

Racism of the Left Wing knows no bounds

Remember the photos that had Stalin’s adversaries cropped out? What kind of country are we living in? Marxist dictators brook no competition.

Some powerful people behind the scenes are working overtime to take over in time. Oh man....

The MSM use to be pretty good at hiding their agenda. Thanks to the Interweb that's not so easy now.

[MeneMeneTekelUpharsin]

You are so right. The nation is in extreme danger and people, through failure to inform themselves while information is till available, are blind to what is going on.

Actually, the lesson here is that if you are a Republican, you will never get credit for embracing a position co-opted by the Democrats. So quit trying.

Note how it is Brit media reporting this??

In AMERICA, anyone that reports this fears repercussions.
It was this way in 1930’s Germany, too.

I haven’t watched much “news” the past few days. I take it that the La Raza crowd didn’t hijack Sharpton’s Big Selma Show as they had promised.

HAHA, good. What was he (GWB) doing there with those leftists anyway? Did he think that they would like him for it?

Like they like him for signing Voting Rights Act reauthorization in 2006?

It reminds me of how he helped make the 2008 Obama election possible.

I expect nothing more from the Slimes and their ilk.

Sharpton made sure they didn’t miss his mug. Look to Obama’s left shoulder.

Bingo, the advice to "move to the center" comes from the Democrats to the Republicans! Meanwhile, they are advancing their own far-left people.

Like clockwork.

Of course our “objective” media has to maintain the ‘republicans are racist, sexist homophobes’ narrative.

Propaganda is the promotion of an agenda with no regard to the truth. The agenda takes priority. The progression of the historical movement toward communism requires it, and the ends justify the means.

HO LEE CRAB!!!!!!!!!!

they did this???

[knarf]

Makes me wonder ....

Did Dubya ever consider being placed so far from the resident of the white mosque, that he WOULD be cropped ?

[null and void]

You’re actually surprised???
