MSM Makeover: Condi Rice

This morning, Michelle Malkin points out the following circumstances regarding a recent photo in USA Today.

Condi_DemonEye

“Notice anything peculiar about her eyes?,” asks Malkin.

“No, Condi isn’t possessed; the photo was manipulated.”

This news comes courtesy of From The Pen, which found a pre-doctored version of the Associated Press photo on Yahoo! EspaÃƒÂ±a:

Condi _ Real

What they didn’t find is the latest version “revealing” who’s sitting behind Condi in the photo. By using our propriety photographic algorithms, we were able to enhance and focus in on the background. (If only Dick Morris knew how to use photoshop)

Condi & Hillary

That might explain a few things. 2008.

UPDATE:
USA Today removes/replaces doctored photo of Condi

USA Today Publishes Altered Condoleezza Rice Photo

USA Today published an AP report about Condoleezza Rice declining to rule out that troops could be in Iraq for ten years. A photo was posted of Rice in this article and it’s hard not to notice that the photo…

USA Today Keeps An Eye On Condi

Unfortunately for USA Today, most Americans are well aware that Condi does not actually look like a villain from some Japanimation film and took notice. If you think that’s a stupid comparison, well, you’re wrong:

Photoshopping Hell

Hmm, I reckon that them silly folks at the US Today (.75 cents? Bite Me) thought they were going to get away with some cute photopshopping of Condi. You can see the results at Michelle Malkin’s spot. She reports that

On Monday I wondered whether USA Today photoshopped a photo of Condoleezza Rice, and I linked to the person who called my attention to it, Bucktowndusty. This morning he sent this link, which was picked up by Michelle Malkin.

These blatantly photoshopped images coming from various sources in The Media amaze me. This immediately reminded me of the Reuters “potty break” image.

Weird. I did something a little similar, doctoring a photo of Hillary to have Omen eyes (trying to test whether lefties who are saying “nothing to see here, move along” would say the same if Fox News posted a similarly doctored photo of Hillary).

See this link.

Caught again:

Is a fake staged photo fit to print? What if it staged in a way that makes the US forces fighting the War on Terror look cruel and ineffective? The evidence argues that yes, it can run, and in a prominent position - at least in the case o
