looks like my comment about Army Ranger Pat Tillman and how his death was used by the republicans to manipulate America got deleted

Editor's note: Yep. Per the site comment policy, I deleted a probable thread-jacking comment that is not only off-topic but contained unsubstantiated slurs against the United States military.

Bithead,

If you support the Bush campaign's using faked images of the brave men & women who defend our country for purely political gain, I suppose that is your right. Some would call it reprehensible.

I would hope the commander in chief would have more respect for those who serve under him, but that's just me.

No selective honesty, just the ability to differentiate between reality and fiction. Clearly, the Senator was not trying to influence facts with the doctored images.

If this was Democrat, we'd be hearing about how it was done out of respect for the 9/11 families...

Walter I disagree with you.

While I think politicians using photoshopped photos isn't honest, you kind of expect politicians to play the snow job game to an extent. The intent is to get you to vote for them. Is it wrong-yes, if the photo is done to convey a falsehood, but you expect politicians to lack neutrality in a campaign.

But a news photo, is a news photo, designed to convey what is really happening-news by definition should convey the realities and the truths of what it is covering. If photoshopped photos are used, and the photoshopping changes what the picture is showing (ie playing with contrast or something, can bother me-as in the case of the OJ Simpson magazine covers-but it isn't changing the story in the photo). Photos tell a story, and when the story is supposed to be unbiased and neutral news, the story shouldn't be a lie from the beginning.

So, you're suggesting that supposedly faked photos in a purely domestic political campaign, equate to covert support of Hezbolah, an enemy sworn to our destruction are equal?

You'll pardon me if I don't join you.

btw Bithead.......that's REPUBLICAN Senator Mike DeWine from Ohio.

so let me get this straight....in your opinion the media has to be honest where politicians don't? So honesty is kind of a selective thing for you.....right?

honesty is the ALWAYS the best policy.....that's reprehensible?

Even assuming what you're saying is correct, there's a major difference between an advocate within a particular political campaign using doctored photographs and the news agency doing that. You would expect the campaign to be biased courts their candidate. You would not however it's packed it from a supposedly news agency.

To even contemplate putting the two on the same scale is reprehensible.
