Signs, Signs...
Reuters
snapped Rove, and Instapunk snapped Fitzgerald. Dumb luck.
PROFESSIONALS. Now that Karl Rove isn't going to be indicted, some of the conservative bloggers are kicking ass and taking names. Michelle Malkin has a nice review of the more over-optimistic stories and images promulgated in the liberal media when they were trying to convince everybody, including themselves, that Rove was going down. Yeah, they were pretty over the top, but there's no point in getting mad about it. Even lefties have imaginative fantasies, and the tools of make-believe are available to everyone. So what if Reuters likes to play tricks with PhotoShop. It's not as if anyone takes what they do seriously anymore.
We'd like to take this opportunity not to be nasty but to recall some of our favorite media image jokes of recent months.
Remember the picture of Cheney featuring the word 'retire'? We liked it.
And what about the famous CNN "X'ing" of Cheney? We liked that too.
We also have a confession to make. We've done some subliminal PhotoShop work ourselves. Does the name Huey Long ring a bell? We even made up a story or two about Karl Rove, complete with phony images. Just like the liberals.
Everybody should relax... and get their own copy of PhotoShop. The news is what we make it. Isn't that the slogan of the New York Times? Well, it will be, any day now.
