you MORONthey INTENTIONALLY didn't airbrush her to make her look OLD

^^ and ^ First, it's an old media trick to show a close-up of a person--it tends to make the viewer not trust the person. Second, no middle-aged woman would want a close-up so close that you could count the nose hairs--it's stupid and has an obvious editorial intent.
11/19/2009 2:37:54 PM
OBVIOUSLYwho cares?
11/19/2009 2:38:50 PM
You do.
11/19/2009 2:40:13 PM
eh, she looks hot to me. OMG NOSE HAIRS GROSS
11/19/2009 2:45:09 PM
^ Why don't they put an image like that of, say, Hillary or Pelosi on the cover?
11/19/2009 2:46:08 PM
They don't want their readers becoming violently nauseated?
11/19/2009 3:03:41 PM
So, if they show a close-up, it's because they want people to think she's ugly and distrust her. If they show a picture of her that makes her look good, it's sexist. They can't win.
11/19/2009 4:08:14 PM
I suppose a cover "photo" like this one is out of the question?
11/19/2009 7:10:08 PM
I didn't know the Rolling Stone was Newsweek. Why do you care about cover photos so much? That is the most superficial bullshit you could care about in tems of exposing liberal bias in the media, and is completely subjective anyway.

Please provide me with a quote where Strom Thurmond denounces racial segregation or racism in general.I don't know, something equivalent to:

6/29/2010 3:28:53 PM
Pretty much.
6/29/2010 3:29:09 PM
^ Thurmond supported extending the Voting Rights Act and making the birthday of the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. a federal holiday. These are hardly the actions of a man who harbored racism in his heart. And did you ever consider that there are racists who are more subtle about things? Just because one has not renounced racism to your satisfaction or to others' doesn't mean that one is a racist. And just because one is not suspected of racism does not mean that one is not a racist.[Edited on June 29, 2010 at 3:39 PM. Reason : Right?]
6/29/2010 3:38:05 PM
All I'm asking for is one quote. Can't you provide that? I mean, if he truly changed his ways and wasn't deserving of a news article labeling him as "foe of integration," then he must have said that he regretting his past actions at least once.
6/29/2010 3:41:46 PM
In God's mind, the only way for a republican to renounce his innate racism is to register as democratthen he's not racist anymore
6/29/2010 3:43:26 PM
6/29/2010 3:44:37 PM
All I'm asking is for one time where he publicly condemned segregation and racism. Hooksaw's post made it seem like these two men were exactly alike, and it was the liberal media that slandered one of them simply because he was a republican.I pointed out that while they may have shared the same racist views earlier in their career, one of them made an effort to publicly condemn segregation and racism, while the other did not. And that is the difference. And the fact that you have failed to provide any such evidence for Thurmond and have just sputtered here proves this. There is no liberal media conspiracy here.
6/29/2010 3:46:10 PM
Hell, yesterday the first place I heard mention Byrd's colorful past was on NPR!! I missed Rush and Beck, but Hannity didn't even touch it. He was too fixated on the allegations against Al Gore.
6/29/2010 4:02:18 PM
^^ Did you read this?
6/29/2010 4:10:39 PM
In 1940, Thurmond called on the grand jury in Greenville to be ready to take action against the Ku Klux Klan, which, he said, represented 'the most abominable type of lawlessness.' "but.... he was a republican so he probably actually supported the KKK right God?
6/29/2010 4:24:08 PM
Still not seeing that quote, sorry!
6/29/2010 4:27:35 PM
^^actually, he was a Democrat at that time
6/29/2010 4:37:41 PM
^^ And you probably won't.

One minuscule compensation for an awful economy is that, with a Democrat in the White House, it makes for some rather amusing journalism as putatively objective reporters try to put the best face on bad news. This Associated Press headline, previewing tomorrow's unemployment numbers, is a classic of the genre: "Layoffs of Census Workers Will Distort Jobs Data.""The census began hiring more workers last year," the AP notes. "It added about 500,000 this spring." The census is wrapping up, leaving many of those workers back on the unemployment rolls. Take the headline literally, and the AP is promising that things will get back to normal in the spring of 2020, when the government hires hundreds of thousands of temps for the next census. Until then, the employment stats will look worse than they actually are.It's all a matter of perspective, though. Who's to say that the 3 months out of 120 when the census is going on is "normal" and other 117 months are "distorted"? You could even make a case that the hiring of census workers distorted the job numbers, making them look better than they actually are.The AP story begins as follows:

Maybe that's because it was a bullshit overblown story to begin with?The "simply astonishing" part should be that the "GOD DAYUMN AMERICUH!" story got as much airtime as it did.
7/20/2010 11:15:18 AM
^^That would be interesting if it didn't involve a bunch of overtly left-wing columnists. This would be like finding out that Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham conspired to criticize Nancy Pelosi's eye makeup.
7/20/2010 11:24:39 AM
^^ and ^ Should a group of "journalists" of a certain ideological mindset employed by various organizations be colluding to suppress what they believe is not news because it harms the presidential candidate they support? And did you happen to catch this part?
7/20/2010 11:25:02 AM
It's not harms, it's just stupid. It was a stupid gossip news story to begin with.I mean, really, what was the 'dirt' on Obama that was run during the campaign?-An out of context catch phrase said by his minister-A loose relationship to a guy who was in the weather underground four fucking decades agoAnyone who published those as worthwhile investigative journalism should have been fired out of a cannon into the sun.

There were stories about Romney being mormon, but very little said about O going to black liberation theology. (outside of the conservative radio yellers)

That was stupid as well.A person's religion should have little to no bearing on their ability to govern (unless they're a creationist nutcase).
