I suppose it's possible Gregg, that it was an innocent thing, anything's
possible. Most of the entries I've read in various spots, indicate opinions
that it was intentional. Anyway, it's just one picture, it's not really
worth a full-blown thread, is it?

over the edge permanently, or (and this would be my preferred result, but I
wouldn't bet on it) wakes them up and gets them tuned back into reporting,
rather than manipulating the news.

That's really horrible.

Lest we have any doubts about the good intentions of the MSM:

I think you (and Michelle) may be overreacting. Do you really think this
was done maliciously, or was it just sloppy image processing done for
legitimate reasons? Here is the editor's note on the USA Today page. I am
specifically aware of the "adjusted for brightness and sharpness"
part, because my father routinely does this via photoshop on pictures he
takes with his digital camera to compensate for bad lighting or other
problems.

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 The photo has been replaced by a properly adjusted copy.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.
