No kiddin, now if it were Russian women? Look out.
No question in my mind...
Just to make sure any unpleasant facial features are highlighted or subdued appropriately, the righteous illegals are photographed in the dark and the evil jingoist is photographed in full sun.
I looked in image editing software, and I’m willing to bet it’s altered. If you look at any other black part of the picture, such as the bottom of the light touching the front of the flag, you can see other pixel colors within the black area. The area of the missing teeth is a solid black color.
The Senate and Jorge make me want to pull my teeth out.
The guys feel uncomfortable antime they have to go beyond the Appalachians or south of Chapel Hill—their country. Not for nothing do they call the land between the Coasts as “Fly-over Countrry.”
I flipped it to Drudge... we’ll see what happens...
The NYT will start selling more papers only when the Democrats start slashing each other's throats. Everybody will want to read about that..
There are a lot of working poor without dental insurance who cannot afford more than an extraction which costs a $100 whearas a root canal and crown can easily top $2000 or an implant $2500. Few people choose to appear toothless,it is usually an obvious sign of their financial status.
>Hate to tell you this.. Buthe the “Hick” photo was photoshopped.<
Not to mention the fact that the photo looks to have been made with a really wide angle lens, perhaps a fisheye, and a very odd angle.
Did the photographer mean to make the dwelling behind that man look as much like a trailer as possible? And, why are the man’s hands the focal point of the image, making him look so distorted?
They actually PAID this twerp to take this pitcher???
It's not what they're looking at, it's their inner grace and purity shining out.
BTW: Right now, I don't care about the coffee in my cup, I care about the damn illegal in my garage...
If we were talking Colombian or Persian girls however...
What? You have something against squatty, fat women with moustaches? The men leave much to be desired, too, no doubt. Yeah, they’re a rough bunch.
And I can’t tell you how many Latinos I’ve seen wheeled into the trauma center with gunshot wounds, no doubt suffered while doing the work that law-abiding Americans won’t do...thankfully.
“he then begins referring to immigration opponents as ‘snaggle people,’ lampooning the NYT’s editorial position.”
Yeah, having or not having teeth is now more important then having or not having a Country.
... And that evil American flag that only a snaggle tooth would dare put in front of his house.
There’s a lot more to these photos then meets the undiscerning eye.
It’s NOT simply ‘bias’, it’s well orchestrated propaganda — make no mistake!
Just say NO to Illegal Alien Amnesty!! Keep calling!! It’s NOT OVER!!

It’s not solid black.
Secondly, the photo is taken in the shade, which makes shadowed areas look very dark. Just look at his pants on the right. Besides, if you knew any toothless people, you’d know that area can appear very dark under various conditions.
They didn’t need to photoshop the image.
Images are about emotions, just like advertising. The Times knew exactly what feelings that image would elicit, yet still claim anyone coming to that conclusion is biased- quite clever on their part, and also quite transparent.
This is the way the Times views anyone who has the temerity to disagree with them. I don’t read the Times, I don’t think anyone else should read the Times, and the World would be a better place if the Sulzbergers were kicked out.
I’m surprised they didn’t photo-shop a banjo in his lap, and a confederate flag.
