Image Is Everything
Here's an interesting screenshot comparison from the front page of the
Washington Post.
The captures are of the exact same stories, one story by Dana Hedgpeth and Neil Irwin, the other story by Jim VandeHei and Paul Blustein. The screen captures were made just minutes apart.
The image of the left appears to an innocent mistake where the wrong image and associated byline were called up. The image on the right was intended to go with the Dubai Ports World stories.
The same two stories are present in each screen capture, but the startling contrast in images between a violent riot and a comparatively sedate seaport conjure up far different gut emotions about the "uproar," don't they?

What a difference a camera angle makes! To show political bias, you always portray an official with a packed house, if you're fer, or show empty seats, if you're agin. I don't think today many people can be suckered the way they used to be, there are too many sources of news out there.

I went there just now and the two pictures are much different. Now one is of a worker and one is of a politician.

...And My Other Brother Darryl
This is the face of the professional media. Michelle Malkin has the video of an utterly pathetic attempt to mock a near tragedy.
I can only imagine Milbank enjoys popping balloons near Jim Brady and making gargling noises near the Kopechne family.

select->modify->contract (choose 1... or 2 in this instance) ctrl-shift-i, and -bksp.. will get rid of the blue outline.
Hope this helps!

The lefty media aren't the only ones cracking wise:
White House Finds Humor in Hunting Mishap
By NEDRA PICKLER, Associated Press Writer 58 minutes ago
President Bush's spokesman quipped Tuesday that the burnt orange school colors of the University of Texas championship football team that was visiting the White House shouldn't be confused for hunter's safety wear.
"The orange that they're wearing is not because they're concerned that the vice president may be there," joked White House press secretary Scott McClellan, following the lead of late-night television comedians. "That's why I'm wearing it."
The president's brother, Florida Gov.
Jeb Bush, took a similar jab after slapping an orange sticker on his chest from the Florida Farm Bureau that read, "No Farmers, No Food."

The White House is just as classy as Milbank:

Your questionable literacy is showing, Tyrone. The phrase is

jive instead of
jibe too?

Go to my site and click on the FAQ at the top of the right-hand column, and you will see that I am aware what the proper usage is. I put up the FAQ because I got tired of responding to people like you who have decided that they're smarter than everyone else.
Do you say things just don't jive instead of jibe too?
No. Did you see the name Tyrone and jump to conclusions? Better check that FAQ.
