Lib Photographer Gleefully Springs at Chance to Make McCain Appear "Sinister" for Atlantic Cover; Proudly Admits Her Bias The picture that gay gossip site and antisemitic conspiracy newsletter The Atlantic chose was horrid enough, but check out the noir-heavy shot she had wanted to use. mccain1.jpg A Touch of Evil, much? And seriously, the picture they ran deliberately makes him look ancient and, thanks to the prominent lumps in his face, ridden with melanomas. And the photographer admits that was no happy accident. Newsbusters shows that The Atlantic knew all about her ...
How Imagery Is Used To Manipulate Public Impression
Pat Dollard | Young Americans —
... right from the jackass’s mouth, if you will … Oh! NOT Tapper, BTW. Jackass was meant for the photographer mentioned below. The jury is still out on Tapper, for me at least … although I have found him more even-handed than most.
The fact is, even though these idiots and dolts don’t quite care or understand it, the majority of the American public is onto them … and just is getting real sick of it.

... uncharacteristically idiotic James Fallows post about Palin and "The Bush Doctrine"). The editors' choice of a photographer for this month's issue is a disgrace. And the continuing presence of Andrew Sullivan on their roster of bloggers is an ongoing black eye, and an insult to their readers' intelligence. I have started to fantasize about leaving them for another print magazine, like ...

Sister Toldjah —

... . As of today, the ad is still up. Which poses the brain hurty question: is it deliberate? Is this Team O’s concept of how you play political hardball? Wow. When did the Stupid Party get so lucky, and the Evil Party get so stupid? Take this picture, now. It’s an outtake from a cover shoot for the Atlantic (to think that magazine once published Mark Twain, back in the day when rumors of his demise were etctera). Not really an outtake, it’s the one the photographer wanted to use . After getting that shot, Greenberg asked McCain to “please come over here” for one more set-up ...
The Atlantic’s photog goes ape
Michelle Malkin —
... words, “I am a bloodthirsty warmongerer (sic).” Another piece of her “art” showed an ape (a favorite Greenberg subject) defecating on McCain’s head. Because, you know, manipulating images of animals relieving themselves on political candidates you hate is the sophisticated way of expressing disapproval. Next time: Google the photog first.
