USA Today retouches Condi pix: "not biased"
http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/home/today.guest.html
USA Today has been caught retouching a picture of Condi to make her eyes look like she has the same disease as the runaway bride.
It's not flattering. But since she is not part of the liberal nation, it's unintentional and no USA Today staffer will be disciplined.
"Really, we're not biased."

Did anyone actually see that picture in USA Today? The link leads to Rush Limbaugh's website.
If you look carefully, the whole picture is "enhanced," not just the eyes.
It could have been done by USA Today -- or even Rush's website. I don't know which one or where it happened, but this is hardly an unbroken chain of evidence.
How can we see it from USA Today?

Well the link from Rush's site leads to Michelle Malkin's blog (surprise?) which has a link to the USA Today story.
The photo was removed earlier this afternoon with this note:
Quote:

Editor's note: The photo of Condoleezza Rice that originally accompanied this story was altered in a manner that did not meet USA TODAY's editorial standards. The photo has been replaced by a properly adjusted copy. Photos published online are routinely cropped for size and adjusted for brightness and sharpness to optimize their appearance. In this case, after sharpening the photo for clarity, the editor brightened a portion of Rice's face, giving her eyes an unnatural appearance. This resulted in a distortion of the original not in keeping with our editorial standards.

Okay, while I agree that the entire image had been sharpened and brightened, someone also had to deliberately go in and whiten the whites of her eyes manually. There's no way they could look like that otherwise. Whoever did it either hasn't been color correcting photos for very long, did it very quickly or did it deliberately.

Well, I went looking for it in USA Today online and here it is, for all to draw our own conclusions.
Here's the original from the Rush website:
((Unfortunately, as the website changes, the pic does, too, so the before and after pics in question are gone))
Is it even possible that the "liberal" media was trying to take a bad picture and try to bring out some detail?

Okay, the one on the top doesn't look as bad as the one on the left. Did they re-re-adjust (  ) it?
Personally, I think the original picture doesn't look very flattering either.

Apparently so according to their comments above.
I agree on the original.
I do a fair amount of messing around with electronic pics on photoshop and other programs, and it's not an exact science by any means. Of course my programs are a lot cheaper than anything USA Today would use.

CBS Finally Gives Up
Hires sports chief Andrew Heyward to head news division.
"He'll be tough," says CBS Chr. Les Moonves (husband of morning show anchor and Big Brother narator Julie Chen.)

And this has to do what exactly with the rest of the thread?

And, for that matter, why does that mean CBS is giving up? Roone Arledge, the former president of ABC Sports and originator of ABC Wide World of Sports, ran ABC News for years and did a heck of a job. For a while, he ran both divisions at the same time.
He is credited with creating such little known shows as World News Tonight, 20/20 and Nightline.
It's about telling stories in an interesting way.
Just because a person likes sports doesn't make them an idiot.

You're right, DA. It's marrying Julie Chen that makes a person an idiot.
