#1 The honchos at Atlantic are doing a post-'US' magazine spin to save their hides. Michelle Malkin has them nailed on using this individual.

#2 But wait, there's more!

This stuff is now coming out daily. The MSM will be the big loser in this election, worse than Rathergate because it is being demonstrated how the bias permeates the system, not just a few personalities.

Like the Atlantic doesn't know what photog it is hiring. Sure.

#3 This photographer will find her options limited to smaller publications because the big magazines don't want to be surprised. Still she'll be the belle of the ball for the little hate-republican rags and celebs so her income will be alright.

#4 At what point to politicians hire their own photographers and just present the photos. I don't think such a time is very far off after crap like this.

It's like Instapundit said recently, bring your own camera to an interview so you can post the raw footage if they play with the editing. The media is not a friend, don't treat them as one.

#5 Can you imagine the uproar if a "right-wing" nut did something analogous to the image of the Divine Mr. O? Look at how much play the New Yorker Obama cartoon cover got - and that was supposed to be a parody of the vicious smears made by conservatives.

Is this how people belonging to the party of FDR and Truman now treat war heroes? I'd love to know if Greenberg supports hate speech legislation and, if so, I'd love to hear her explain why her "work" doesn't qualify. I really can't say any more about how her behavior makes me feel without risking a visit to the sink trap.
