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.

I mean people KNOW he was there

No, they do not. 90% of the people in the US will never know GWB was at that march. Unless Jon Stewart decides to make a joke about it.

It’s sad that Obama has to rely on propaganda anymore to promote his agenda. But he is an empty suit

[JayAr36]

Obama is just a turd in a tie. Destroying the country with the aid of the Republicans.

[I want the USA back]

This is deliberate and intentional. These are the people who set out to permanently associate GWB with racism. Katrina. Bush hates black people.

President Bush could care less if he is in the picture.I WOULD LOOK AT THE ROACHES IN THE FRONT LINE ON THE OTHER END AND STAY AS FAR AWAY FROM THEM AS I COULD.All Obama and Sharpton were there for is the publicity.Bush does not want to be near those scam artist..

[AmusedBystander]

All the news that is fit to print.

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

He, and the Congressional Republican leadership who looked the other way.

Like former Speaker Danny Hastert , the go-along guy who wouldn't lift a finger to cleanse the House of pederasts, grafters, and thieves. People who built bridges to nowhere for their land-poor speculator buddies. Guys who took the money. Foot-tappers and back-slappers, scum of the House and Senate.

They let the unspeakably corrupt Rahm Emmanuel and an outright Red and continental liar, Nancy Pelosi, run an "anticorruption" campaign against the Republicans, to install people like Bart Stupak, Charlie Rangel, and Debbie Wasserman-Schultz in the leadership of the House.

Thanks, Karl. You surely are a "turd blossom".

Looks like to two different pictures, taken at two different locations.

Non story..

[Theodore R.]

just play acting for their goofy supporters

You nailed it, and the goofies still haven't a clue.

[Theodore R.]

Idiots being led to the slaughter!!

But they will never figure it out!

[Yaelle]

Whites to the back of the bus! Your kind doesn’t belong here!

[Fledermaus]

Yep.

[Theodore R.]

Did he think that they would like him for it?”

Probably, or at least he hoped so.

[GraceG]

You would think the GOPe would figure out that Aquiesing to the left will always get your hand bitten.... nope, the party of dumb....

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

Thank you internet!

Good-bye media gatekeepers.

[Baladas]

Exactly, stop trying to please them. You will never win, ever.

[JLAGRAYFOX]

You are right on the money....but, they will never figure it out!!! Obama has thrown them under the bus, so many times...but, they have nary a clue!!! Go figure!!! Oh, well!!!

[Theodore R.]

More than hate it is scorn for a poor job that could have been a great success with a little serious effort and commitment.

[Nextrush]

The media does its thing but George W. Bush did his thing for 8 years and tell me what he did that was good.......Frankly, I don’t give a rip and am not falling into the trap of RINO’s being turned into “victims” of the liberal media I am supposed to feel sympathy for.

If Moochelle and daughters were cropped out, then GWB and Laura would have been in the photo. Photog and the NYT made a choice.
