DEMONIZING CONDI

By

Michelle Malkin

  ·   October 26, 2005 06:41 AM

Check out the photo of Condoleezza Rice that was published by USA Today last week:

Beelzebub Condi

Notice anything peculiar about her eyes?

(Click on the Extended Entry for an explanation.)

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! España:

Beautiful Condi

Ask USA Today's Graphics and Photos Managing Editor, Richard Curtis (rcurtis@usatoday.com), what the ^$%#@+! is going on.

The MSM will just ignore you..........better to hit them in the pocketbook...........stop buying their product, and if you need to complain, take the complaints to the advertisers, and threaten to hit their pocketbooks too..........that is all that will work.....don't complain to them, take direct action against them.......that is what I am trying to say.

No. I do this stuff for a living; they deliberately went in and selectively boosted the whites of the eyes. It's so ham-handed and obvious it's laughable.

As do I, and I concur.

Leave Uma Alone! She's HOT!!!!!...........

LOL. I know................. when she opens her eyes like she does (I'm Uma Pemmaraju) she's about as HOT as Michelle Malkin when she gets excited about any story. I love when that happens.

Michelle and Uma are so physically warm. And, btw, where is my little "private school girl", Heather Nauert, these days? Yoi, I miss her!

;-)

"So much for being an organization that respects individuals."

Liberal racism festers, of course, in their own Liberal - anti-individual and racist - Leftist eye; and they cannot hide it. . .

. . .it continually translates what they say and see. . .and they in turn are compelled by their Utilitarian, 'end justifies ANY means' philosophy to manipulate their vision (propaganda) for us. . .

The harsh realitiy is, this IS a murder of someone's image. . .and these 'photo-opportunists' should not be able to get away with it. . . . .

It is the Leftist-filled media that continues to need honest exposure.

Not just a contrast adjustment, look at the top of the top lip. It has been removed / straightened so as to appear to be more "pursed" or give Condi a meaner more threatening appearance.............

I hope you'll cancel your subscription to USA Today and give them the reason why. Why feed the hand that bites you?

Not possible. Everyone knows that the American press is honest, unbiased, and if you listen to some idiot liberals of the DailyKos stripe, biased in favor of conservatives.

Understood, but I can't really affect their pocketbook. I haven't patronized the MSM for years other than reading what's posted here or on some conservative blog.

Ansel Adams was famous for his dramatic black and white photographs, some of which I dare say were manipulated in his dark room for greater effect.

I'm sure you'll agree that it's one thing if you manipulate a photograph for artistic purposes, and quite another if you manipulate it for journalistic purposes.

Man, that photo manipulation is clumsier than if I'd have imported the thing into Microsoft Paint and drawn in the eyes with the pencil tool.
