Here's the front page for the New York Times's national edition, the day after Paul Ryan's speech at the Republican National Convention:

Forget the “Son of Satan” stuff; apparently someone thought it was “artistic,” but it just comes off as a terrible photo.

I guess I am more surprised that people are surprised by this depiction of Ryan by the NYT.

Not a terrible photo from the NYT point of view. They want him to look small, insignificant, and out of place. Looks like the only way they can do that is photographically.

Very deliberate. Very intentional. Very telling.

Oh FREEPERS....Come on. If you look at that, I don’t get that impression at all. The way this propaganda story is I thought that was going to be the title. Too sensative for such a dishonest story.

The NYT has identified itself as a niche market so their opinion really isn't important.

NYT's Abramson rebuts Brisbane charge ....""In our newsroom we are always conscious that the way we view an issue in New York is not necessarily the way it is viewed in the rest of the country or world. I disagree with Mr. Brisbane's sweeping conclusions [Progressive worldview 'bleeds through' the Times] ," Abramson told POLITICO Saturday night.

"I agree with another past public editor, Dan Okrent, and my predecessor as executive editor, Bill Keller, that in covering some social and cultural issues, the Times sometimes reflects its urban and cosmopolitan base," she continued."

IMO, it seems to try to portray Ryan being pushed forward by dark men in the background, pulling strings for dastardly purposes.

F the DNCp...

Oh my God! Somebody ought to have brought it to the attention of the New York Times the presence of all those anonymous, shadowy figures behind Ryan. I mean, what if it turns out that they are ......... corporate bundlers!

I think they wanted to run a photoshopped picture of him beheading a senior citizen, but they were worried about offending their Muslim friends.

I took some photography courses in college many years ago... I would have been kicked out for submitting something that was composed like that. I have accidentally taken photos of my feet that are better composed.

The Communist Left is petrified that Romney-Ryan is about to destroy their demonic messiah at the polls in November.

They are thinking "all those years of planning and lying and scheming...for what?"

Make no mistake, this is war...only the shooting hasn't yet started.

Even if so, it doesn’t matter.

Nobody subscribes to the NYT outside of NYC any more.
