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.

the NYT made a choice

Yep they did....
Pardon me. You seem incredibly arrogant - all knowing - all seeing. With just a little effort, like he was watching Oprah during the day. What a boob.
“Politicians identify as “liberals” and “conservatives” and simply hide the fact that they all work for the same people from their respective voting bases.
Obama, moose, sharpton, etc., want to appear to their goofy supporters that they are “die-hard leftist”.
Da Bushes want to appear to their goofy supporters that they are “die-hard conservatives”.”
Only true at the National level, and then, it often takes a little time to corrupt them.
At the state and local level, there are considerable differences.
Nationwide at all levels government is groupthink.
This is because the financial elites for over a century have put all sorts of national organizations in place to “standardize” things across the nation, in every city, town and 1-light village.
You see endless statewide efforts to “standardize” across each state. All of these are organized for a clear purpose - to nullify any signficant effect citizens may exert on government to oppose the programs of the elites.
Case in point: in the state of NJ, boards of education (there are over 500 towns in the state) all go to “training” to “learn” how to serve on the school board.
Dissent is vigorously purged from school boards in NJ.
The idea is clear: spend as much as possible and adopt the programs of the elites.
School boards are simply minions of the elite banking families - but they have no idea that they are !
It’s funny when you think about it, how stubborn people are at admitting what goes on. Even when you can see the programs rolling out in the schools.
People don’t even understand that the “traditional” programs that they vehemently support (my kid is going to be in football, the band, etc.) are all designed by the elites for a purpose: turning them into idiot robot sheeple.
Stalin had them erased, not “cropped out” (ie altering the picture rather than showing only part of the picture).

I don’t think the NYTimes could get away with the former.
