I keep telling you people....
The regime realizes “old media” is in bad financial straits.
They are just giving the media a cost cutting method by providing “official” photos and videos.
Dump those expensive camera jockeys, technicians, etc.

Every photographer wants a good shot of his subject. Souza should not be blamed for that.
Souza’s work isn’t propaganda in and of itself. The way his work is used, however, is. That’s the unfortunate part and in this case it’s true.

Souza’s trademark “Obama With A Halo” photos aren’t propaganda?

It isn't that the pictures he takes that are propaganda, it's that the pictures that the White House releases are propaganda. The White Hut simply won't release a picture that depicts Obama in a bad light.
A good example is the picture last week of Obama and Bush 43 on Air Force 1 on the way to South Africa. This was a double propaganda gain. It showed Obama wish a typical SE grin, while depicting Bush looking quite odd. Propaganda, indeed.

lol. Pete "Leni Riefenstahl' Souza, merely by snapping like this illustrates the truism ....

Obama is wanting to release propaganda photos, sure.
However, he also doesn't want all those pesky reporters around when he wants to slouch around in gym clothes or take naps during the day.
Having only one photographer suits him just fine.

Why didnt anyone in the prominent media expose this commie SOB for what he was.I can think of at least 10 reasons.

Lol. Good point. I just meant I didn’t care about whether the commie schmuck artist, Shepard Fairey, copied off some other lefty schmuck artist. What was important was who and what the bastard was and what he was doing, what he did previously.
