Who cares about this incident of fauxtography

Good question.

With regard to Couric personally? I agree. Who cares.

With regard to CBS admitting the did it on purpose, and the do stuff like this all the time, and make no effort to portray this as wrong, means we should care A LOT.

1. The picture on the right was edited. The tool used was not identified.

2. It was done without Couric’s knowledge by CBS for WATCH!, a CBS quartly internal magazine.

3.

“Besides Photoshop, the only other way to lose 20 pounds in a matter of seconds would be to hack off a limb,” joked Samantha Heller, the senior clinical nutritionist at NYU Medical Center.

4. An liberal idiot in a slimer suit is still an idiot.

Allah and assorted readers @ Hot Air have been concerned over a photo that shows Couric as slimmer than she is in reality. Many guesses and much speculation as to retouching and angle,etc. ensue. Today, the uremitting hunt for the……

She’s a nitwit and a leftist, utterly unqualified to render opinion on anything beyond how to make lunches for the kids when you have to be up for work at 3am, and maybe “what not to wear.” Believe it or not, she will actually move CBS further to the left. I know!
Having said that, clearly that is not undergarment showing through, it is shadow from overhead lighting, rookies.

Broadcast & Cable has the CBS response to Miss K……

chsw, who couldn’t care if a news anchor looks like Irving R. Levine, so long as he/she/it delivered actual news in an impartial manner.

You’re missing the point chsw.. Who here said they care about what she looks like either? The point is that they’re going out of their way to make photoshop her to make her look skinny. We aren’t here saying “gotcha fatty”, we’re saying “gotcha lying media!”… Get it?

Bloggers are all going on about this photo: Of course, the right-wing blogs are making it out to be a liberal conspiracy – but that’s what they do…….

Remember the anti-war “hunger strike?” You know, the one that allows you to consume sherbet-loaded Jamba Juice, ice cream, and coffee? Well, Smash reports another staple of the moonbat deprivation plan: Beer! Wonder if Katie Couric has been “fasting…

It looks as though the Katie Couric era at CBS news will maintain Dan Rather’s exacting standards.

You’d think by now CBS would realize that bloggers aren’t idiots, and many know all sorts of PhotoShop tricks.

They say the camera adds 10 pound…

On 9/11, within 45 minutes of the attacks, Katie was on the Today Show blaming Bush’s Israeli policies for the attacks; and we can expect her to keep up the partisan attacks until the cows come home and this country implodes from destructive, anti-American liberal filth!

Look at the wrinkles at the waste/hip line. Hard to fake those panty lines.

Look at the wrinkles on the fat one and then on the skinny one. Hard to fake wrinkles, and the wrinkles are all on the fat one.

Look at the nice crisp edges of the arms and waiste.

I could be wrong, however:
Because stretching a picture would make the wrinkles more pronounced.

1. Katie thinks she’s fat and asked CBS to do this for her.

2. CBS thinks Katie is too fat and did this for her.

If its the latter, Katie needs to take note that her new employer thinks she’s fat. And perhaps she needs to go on the Nicole Richie Diet.

Life does imitate art….

She’s on the Photoshop Diet. Very effective.
Thank you, CBS. Why is it that we don’t believe you again?
H/t Allah.
Update: “Fat is at 50% opacity.”
Ouch. Here’s hoping the blogosphere doesn’t start critiquing photos of me. The Photoshop giv…
