Default Alert: Demonizing Condi
Check out the photo of Condoleezza Rice that was published by USA Today last week



Notice anything peculiar about her eyes?

No, Condi isn't possessed; the photo was manipulated

found a pre-doctored version of the Associated Press photo on Yahoo! España:



Unbelievable. Robert George points to another example of malicious photoshopping of a black Republican official.

Update:

USA TODAY REMOVES DOCTORED PHOTO

The doctored photo of Condi Rice has been removed from USA Today's website with this editor's 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 The photo has been replaced by a properly adjusted copy.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.

That was a really bad photo editing job. It is common to whiten eyes in photos but that is horrid. Probably a liberal artist!

I know, but photo editing is my hobbie and it is a really bad job looking at it as a photo. Looking at the person, yes it suits her personality just fine.
