Via a tip from a reader...
Just when you though the media would have learned from
USA Today's
manipulating of photos of the Secretary of State, the New York
Times
run a photo in
this article
that gives conservative Supreme Court nominee Samuel A. Alito a sickly green pallor.
Is this an accident, incompetence on the part of the NY Times, or a deliberate act by a liberal news organization to taint a conservative Supreme Court nominee?
This photo clearly violates the National Press Photographers Association
Code of Ethics
and Articles I, IV, V, and VI of the American Society of Newspaper Editors
Statement of Principles
.
We can hope that the
Times
will correct this image and print an apology similar to that of
USA Today's
.
The photo can be seen side-by-side with an untainted version at
Confederate Yankee
.
Update:
The photo has now been removed from the NY Times story, without a retraction.
More Media Photo Bias
