USA Today Pulls Satanic Condi Picture
The MSM's subtle use of photographs to propagandize got a little less subtle when USA Today took this picture of Condi Rice:
and made it into this picture for publication:
But hey, at least they toned it down from this version, discovered on Cold Fury:
Having been nailed this time, USA Today has replaced their demonically enhanced Condi with an undoctored photo; the accompanying Editor's Note explains that their Halloween Photoshop fun was "not in keeping with our editorial standards."
As they say, what liberal bias?

As someone smarter than me noticed, when they make these mistakes they always seem to go the same way.

I find it hilarious to think that they actually think they can get away with things like this! They really are stupid enough to think that we're stupid enough to fall for this, aren't they? And the MSM wonders why they keep losing circulation and market share, and the dhimmicrats wonder why they keep losing elections.

They had to do something. DeLay's pic was no good plastered across newspapers, so they invented their own news. Again.

Never read this rag. Just one more reason to ignore it every time I see it in passing. I think it was in keeping with their "editorial standards." They are like the Clinton White House staff, kids will be kids.

It really is childlish, isn't it?

Does anyone find it strange, that at one time the bulk of the MSM was subtly liberal bias, and tried to skulk around taking well concealed shots at the right. Now that blogging has exposed the bias, it's as if the MSM has lost its witts and just gone loopy. Bias is now so candid and blatant that a child could pick it out. The editors feed blogs a constant supply of ammo to shoot them with, and O'Riely must have a riot deciding which loopy MSM bias he'll attack next, from a sample of hundreds. Are these people losing it?

Unbelievable. Scroll to the bottom of this Malkin post:

A reader reveals this isn't simply sharpening the image. The eyes were carefully manipulated and the rest of the photo was left untouched. See the picture someone created by joining a half of each photo? Everything is identical except the eyes.
I'll say it again, unbelievable.

Debris Trail, the short answer is: Yes, they're losing it. Most any creature will fight like mad when cornered, but especially the Moonbaticus Leftardicus, which has nothing but lies and deception as weapons, having abandoned the path of honesty and objectivity a long time ago. You see, their entire world-view is based on lies and propaganda, and when they see that world crumbling, their natural instinct is to pile on more. One could say that it is like trying to rebuild a house of straw while it is burning; the effort only quickens the inevitable. This is why I love the First Amendment; not because it protects my right to speak the truth, but because it allows the enemies of liberty to show themselves for what they truly are.
