C’mon people, give credit where due: regardless of how it got taken & published, AP had the sense to remove the image entirely. In a large organization there are idiots who do stupid things; respect to the managers who undo the damage insofar as they can.

Remember, this is vs numerous other comparable images from various sources that were defended with “so what?” instead of removed.

Here is credit where credit is due: I like the Hillary picture better.

I would suggest that exactly ZERO credit is due. It's like saying "with all due respect" which when referring to the left I follow with "and there's none due".

In a nutshell they removed the pictures because they got caught, not because they are trying to do the right thing. If it were the latter those "managers" would have stopped them from being published in the first place.
