i finally opened the article and it looks like conservatives don't understand the meaning of the word "cropped"

as shocking as this may seem to our technologically challenged friends around here

you cannot crop this image


to get this image


the title of that article is simply a lie - why am i not surprised?

Ah yes, because the technique the NYT used to exclude W matters. He wasn't cropped out, they just found a picture that made sure not to include him. Whatever.

i'm no photography expert but it's either they wanted to choose a photo that did not have bush in (shame on them w/e) or just wanted one that looks better on the front page (the one they selected does fyi) and i give them the benefit of the doubt to them on this since you've said they did mention bush in the article itself


unlike say, this article over at fox news which also doesn't show george bush - and it seems his name doesn't even come up in the article itself

why aren't you even more outraged over this?

Lol, Fox doesn't have a record of hostility to Republicans like the NYT does. Fox's article is an omission.

so you have one standard for conservative media where it's ok to pretend bush does not exist and another one for liberal media where it's not ok to pretend bush doesn't exist?

my memory's not that great so i don't know how long it's been like this but have you always been a conservative hack?

Context means nothing to you, I know, but it does to the rest of us.

why is it so hard for you to admit that any omission of bush by right wing media is deliberate because it is politically disadvantageous to bring up his existence?

What's politically disadvantageous about Fox publishing that Bush attended Selma?
