I see the halo that you’d normally see around Jesus’ head

There a piece of toast on eBay you might be interested in…

Reagan was hated and hounded as well. Bush should wear their hatred of him as a badge of pride.

My final analysis is that the pic is legit, but these exercise is worthwhile and instructive nonetheless.

it could also be said bush has been given a halo.

Compare and contrast.

I don’t know, it looks more like Msr. Waffles is wearing a bonnet.

  The AP is being accused of doing this on purpose, but either way this is a pretty cool picture! ……

Is there any doubt that their world view colors their news and imaging?

Last night our local Public Television station gave a one sided story based on editorial cartoonists. Guess who was the demonized person throughout the story?

Bush, and Reagan, and Nixon.

Guess what else we were “educated” about.

You guessed it.

We were told that all the poor journalists, the press, was censored by the meannies of the Bush administration, and that the news media was holding back the news.

Funny!

It appeared to me that for the past six years, all the news was slanted against President Bush, and pro-Democrats, pro-leftists, pro-fifth columnists, pro-liberals, and even pro-Muslims Jihadis.

Leave it to the poor “We are victims of conservative-Republican meanies” leftists cry foul when they, themselves, are at fault.

What do our photo experts out there think?

Don’t know how expert Iam, but ….
At first glance, and 2nd ‘kinda look’, its coincidence.

The seal is the edit target, with the president. More for balance w/ his arm up, and color/contrast. Had more to do with the head centered in the round seal. Look at the whole image he made,after cut.

A cameraman picture where someone didn’t consider the backdrop forming a 2-D image; or deliberately made what they thought was an amusing picture (not sure which). Very common, not sure why, but it is.

I’m not thinking it was BDS driven. I mean, wasn’t there a Rumsfeld picture about 6 months back that looked like he had a halo (circular light in backdrop, nicely centered, etc.)?

I missed the news conference today, but Vinny pointed out this photograph that is making people hot under the collar. Apparently Matt Drudge had “AP gives Bush ‘devil horns’ in photograph” on his site and people started attacking the AP……

Hmm, I saw the halo thing too. I imagine it depends on your perspective, though my guess is many Bush bashers will be infuriated that some conservatives saw something different in the image.

“CR UVa,”

Aside from that perspective, have you noticed the difference in the appearance of President Bush in this photo above, and the appearance of not the president Kerry in the photo in which he has that soft aura above his head from the overhead lights which was shared with us on this forum by “max”, included here, below?

Compare and contrast.

President Bush appears to be a living, breathing, warm, flesh and blood human being. He has color, a gleam in his eye, and looks at peace.

Not the president Kerry appears as a dried up, colorless, kinda like the Evil Emperor Palentine from Star Wars, or like a mummified creature, or a walking zombie.

His skin is leathery, wrinkled, his eyes a consiousless, mindless stare, as if he is on display in a natural history museum, and he looks like a cross between a corpse and an undertaker.

Maybe Kerry could run for rattle snake wrangler of Arizona, or, perhaps he could run for “President” of Cuba.

If we ignore the “Wings as horns” we can see a saintly halo.

Nevertheless,

With their open hostility toward President Bush, that urge to berate him at every turn, and with the psycho babble of modern day psychoanalysts which can conjure up ideas and problems with many a person did not know existed until a “therapist” brought it up, the MSM could subconsciously, unintentionally, be manifesting their subconscious bias and hatred toward President Bush, and this photo image could be a manifestation of that subconscious hatred, bias, and brainwashing from their buddies and their peers.

“max,”

That is interesting.

It appears that “Mister Death” John “Morgue” Kerry is supposed to be weaing a halo, a glow of heavenly influence, above his head.

Nevertheless, Kerry always lookes like a cross between a movie version of a stereotypical undertaker, such as the emaciated look of the old western, gun slinger, lawless town undertaker, and a corpse.

Kerry also has the most unpleasant tone to his voice, so grating on the nerves, and he has the most unpleasant speaking style, like listening to someone scratch their fingernails across a slate chalkboard. Yeeettccchhhhh!!!

Yes, Kerry looks like death. His face looks like Lurch from the Television “Adams” family, or worse, and he could play the part of the grim reaper, if he’d just keep that mouth shut!

With “leaders” like Kerry in office, is it any wonder that our nation is seeing such problems?

William

I do.

Condaleezza Rice’ photo, was it on the cover of Time or Newsweek? They could have posted a better photo.

Compared side by side with the same photograph displayed properly, it did look like they did something to the photo, making her eyes look like something from a demon and slasher film character.

Yes, of course I not only believe that the press does this stuff on purpose, I see evidence of it with my own eyes.
