CatholicCid Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Out of wonder, how is this article not truthful? If anything, it appears quite truthful. They have quotes from the photographer herself, they did not use a misleading headline, they acknowledged that the Magazine at hand did not use the photo, ect...

These media outlets have countless hit pieces on McCain and Palin, but practically none what so ever of Obama, and whenever there is negative news about Obama these media outlets either pay no attention to it, briefly mention it, or defend Obama.

kenrockthefirst Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Stephen Colbert with the always spot-on commentary. From Monday, September 15's show: "The press is treating John McCain unfairly. They're showing pictures of him without Sarah Palin." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
