Time’s Misleading Photo
This has been mentioned on other blogs, but it really is a remarkable oversight on the part of Time magazine. In their recent story on Ann Coulter, the magazine ran this photo1 as an example of liberal shrillness or something :

The funny thing is that the poster in question is from the obvious parody group Communists for Kerry. The URL at the top is a dead giveaway, or would have been a dead giveaway if it had actually showed up in the magazine itself. Here’s a shitty cameraphone picture of how the photo appeared in print :

That’s an awfully convenient bit of cropping, huh?
1 : To Time’s credit, they replaced the earlier caption with one that’s still inaccurate, but much closer to the truth.

This is more than a convenient crop job, it is an obvious misrepresentation of fact. Most folks in the realm of photojournalism know this as potentially illegal.
