This WAS used in the print article. But they cropped it!!!

They cut it off just below communistsforkerry.com. You can't tell it's a pro-Coulter sign. You can't see the "Criminals for Gun Control" at all!

Our "objective" media at work again.

They soooo need letters to correct their incorrect usage of the photo.

So much the better.

In a future book, Ann Coulter can use that cropped photo and juxtapose it with the uncropped photo to demonstrate how Time Magazine used the editing of photos for propaganda purposes just as the Soviets once did.

The Commissar Vanishes..............Photographs can lie. ...............They certainly do in the Soviet Union from 1929 to 1953, the years of Joseph Stalin's dictatorial rule. Stalin's agents routinely arrest and kill as "enemies of the people" anyone who disagrees with his politics. Communist Party workers then try to remove any trace of these people from the photographic archives, and so from the media. ...................... The Commissar Vanishes exhibition explores this censored history. By the 1930s Communist "truth" circulates worldwide in party approved books. With airbrush or ink spot, the photo censors work quietly. But despite their power, they ultimately fail. The images expose decades of photographic lies. It's a stark visual tour through a society where freedom is not an option -- the culture of control that goes on to create the Berlin Wall.
