Condi' Picture Manipulated to make her look like a Demon

[Laz]

I find it hard to believe anyone would stoop this low! It says USA Today purposely manipulated the photo.

[Sparx]

yes, people would stoop that low. Personally, I like her. anyone remember the pic of GW and Senior 'fishing' in nola?

 

[DawnCt1]

There is such visciousness on the left that they will stoop to the lowest form, subliminal suggestion, to advance their agenda.

At this point, nothing the media does to try to hurt this administration shocks me.

 

[cardaway]

Can anybody point to where that was actually used. Link?

If you go to the linked site and click on the link there, it will take you to USA Today page, but the picture there looks absolutely normal to me...no demon eyes. I think this is a hoax.

Same goes for sites willing to make things up.

What do you expect? It's USA Today, the newspaper of 8th grade reading level material. I hate that paper, I feel like I'm opening up a picture book...

 

[Poohgirl]

That's just not right....

It doesnt much matter. Dems and the media are doing all they can to slam the Republicans and thier cabinet members. If the shoe were on the other foot, the Republicans and anybody who could would be slamming the Dems and their picks.

Its sickening. Im Republican but would have no problem voting for the best person to the job, even it was a Democrat. The mud slinging, *****ing and whinning, and partisan politics makes me want to throw up.

Just about every politico in office in DC has been bought or brainwashed. They say they care about the people they represent, but the only thing they really care about are themselves. They will do anything they can to stay elected and in the public eye. Why should they have to work for a living when they can sit there and ruin a great country. There needs to be a change in the way government is run, but until we the people demand that change its only going to get worse and we only have ourselves to blame.

Leftwing / Rightwing / Moderates, we are all Americans. Its time to take a stand and demand better.

That's why USAToday printed the following on the link:

Editor's note: The photo of Condoleezza Rice that originally accompanied this story was altered in a manner that did not meet USA TODAY's editorial standards. The photo has been replaced by a properly adjusted copy. Photos published online are routinely cropped for size and adjusted for brightness and sharpness to optimize their appearance. In this case, after sharpening the photo for clarity, the editor brightened a portion of Rice's face, giving her eyes an unnatural appearance. This resulted in a distortion of the original not in keeping with our editorial standards.

This is the original USAToday link with the now corrected picture: http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/2005-10-19-rice-congress_x.htm

Oh yeah, I am loving the Editor's note.

Perfect example of the liberal media bias. Another example is the fact that this story isn't getting that much press. Just imagine if FoxNews ever photoshopped a picture of Hillary. The media would foaming at the mouth.

Glad I'm not the only one!

Ok...first, to the photo: (Sorry, but as a frequenter of farq.com, I find that pretty funny Do they make you turn in your sense of humor when registering as a Republican these days, or what ?)

Secondly, it is the peak of hypocrisy for ANY republican to whine about this. With attack dogs like Tom Delay and KKKarl Rove in your party, you just sound ridiculous when crying about us mean old democrats. As for the "media bias"...Isn't this the paper that employed that %!%! Anne Coulter until she finally went about 5 steps over the line ?

8th grade reading level? You're giving them way too much credit, I think it is about 5th grade...

It's airport reading material only useful for checking the weather in the city you are traveling too.

So you associate Karl Rove with the KKK???

Your above 2 paragraphs of red herrings and attacks do NOT help justify or rationalize the paper's editing.
