i don't think it has as much to do with being liberal as it does with AP photographers knowing that sensationalism sells.

Bullshit its non-partisan. If I write a bunch of articles and take a bunch of pictures of how evil the military is and how wicked the israelis are and how theyre killing poor defenseless arabs who are just a mis understood people, I am writing sensational bullshit for my liberal audience. Its not conservatives buying up NY Times papers or tuning into Reuters.

Likewise if I was photograph a buch of stuff of arabs dancing in the streets after 9/11 and try to drum up how wicked they truly are, I would be doing the same. Afterall, Liberals dont tend to tune into Rush limbaugh or check out Michelle Malkin columns.

rush limbaugh is the king of saying sensational bullshit;

"Feminism was established to allow unattractive women easier access to the mainstream."

"The difference between Los Angeles and yogurt is that yogurt comes with less fruit."

bashing feminist and fags is the conservative version of sensationalism. it's the same thing no matter what side of the fence you're on billy.

The green hat guy posing really got me.

I get disgusted with new anchors/reportes when they choose only the most dramatic adjectives & statistics to describe events, but going this far really floors me. It reduces the voter's ability to make informed decisions and, like crying wolf, can provoke mistrust in informed citizens during times when the media's communicative ability is necessary.

Your earlier point is that sensationalism isnt partisan, i proved you wrong, just because both sides do it, doesnt mean its not partisan. Its very partisan. Reuters, NY Times, CNN, NBC, MSNBC etc etc are all liberal news outlets that sell thier bullshit to liberals.

They do tend to take up the large majority of the media pie of course. And so I said "what liberal media" which is what liberals say when they want to pretend it doesnt exist, which clearly it does as proven by these fucked up anti USA and Anti Israel photo ops by socialist left wing shit bags. You can pretend that its happening because they just want to make the $$$, but who the fuck are they making the money off of Arsinik? Conservatives or Liberals? Sensationalism needs to be directed at a specific group to make it sell, in this case it was the rabid anti american leftists who love to point out examples of how evil our country is. That is partisan.

somehow you know what i said, but you failed to understand what i said. it doesn't matter if there are more liberal media outlets than conservative ones. the point is they both use sensationalism to sell their broadcasts. everyone does it, everyone has always done it. i agree with you that reuters, ny times, cnn, nbc all lean to the left, but media bias shouldn't be part of this conversation. i'll repeat myself since i'm sure you missed it, again, everyone uses sensationalism. therefore sensational images sell, which is why each one of those photographers staged and/or edited their photos.

I dont know, I think you missed what I was trying to say. They dont use sensationalism to jsut sell papers, they do it to get thier political points of view across. Sicne most liberals cant seem to do it without lying to one degree or another I wasnt suprised personally. However, if you think this was just about selling shit then you need to rethink your position. These people are in a war of ideas, they could have shown devistate photocropped Israeli cities afte rthe rocket attacks, but they didnt... why? Because theyre not interested in making terrorists look like the bad guys, just like the majority of libs in congress are more worried about the rights and privacies of terrorists than thier own people.

Billy, US politics is ridiculous right now. The Republicans don't seem to have been able to pull off their agendas, and the Democrats offer nothing but vindictiveness.

They cant get all thier shit passed, because of liberals, be they liberal democrats or liberal republicans.

We should be fixing social security and by fixing it i mean privitizing it. I dont need to be paying for a bunch of old farts who made shitty choices in thier lives.

We should also be passing strict immigration reform, with a protect the border 1st policy. Libs cant stand that though, niether can the big businesses, but its mostly the libs.

I thought it was interesting enough. The first image-manipulation photo with the smoke was badly done. The rest (minus the dolls and tire fire) seemed possible to the untrained eye; but it was still full of drop-mouth moments of "I can't believe I didn't see that".
