Using A Pix Of Two Presidents Smiling Isn't Yellow Journalism.

[KittyWampus]

A perfectly nice photo of two world leaders is used by some news outlets… that isn't yellow journalism.

And there is something really odd that anyone would find fault in the following pix.

Two relatively nice looking presidents whom seem at ease (at least in that instant).

I've seen the term "yellow journalism" used a couple of time recently here on DU. People may need to look up the term and find out what it actually means.

1. Probably. Nor does smiling indicate that the diversion was gladly accepted.

It says they had a microphone in their faces and the camera lights were on them.

2. Why don't you post some more pics of the flight path around Moscow, instead?

[KittyWampus]

7. because it's not relevant here.

[idwiyo]

13. It sure is. One only has to have one look at your other post to realise the hypocrisy of this OP.

[KittyWampus]

22. Here's a link to a relevant post by me re this pix from 2 days ago. As to calling me hypocrite-

sorry, you're just hurling insults with no basis.

10. !!

3. Selective editing is great because it's always plausibly deniable.

Ostensibly, there was some kind of basis on which the decision to use that pic was made. I don't see the problem in speculating about that basis.

12. What exactly is wrong with that pix. I posted several days ago when it appeared that Morales has a

nice face.

So why don't you explain what is wrong with that photo.

[Democracyinkind]

15. The thread that your thread responds to offers enough reasons, n'est-ce pas?

[KittyWampus]

23. So you, like other DU"ers, have no ability to explain what is wrong with this pix.

[Democracyinkind]

26. Lol.

It's gold, Jerry!

4. Context, kitty, context.

it sure as shit was in the context of the article in the Atlantic.

typically uniformed post from you.

[KittyWampus]

8. Why don't you expound on exactly what is wrong with the pix, Cali.

When I saw it, my reaction was the Bolivian president has a nice face. In fact, I could search DU and find the post I made several days ago saying EXACTLY that regarding this very same photo.

[cali]

19. I just explained it to you

Hardly my fault that it flew way, way above your head.

[HappyMe]

29. Good fucking grief!

That's all anybody had to say. Way easier for people to jump all over somebody, then just fucking explain. I'll poke around and look for the damn article.

[Zorra]

30. Yep. Here is an OP that uses the pic and refers to Evo as a "crazy nut".

The lady doth protest too much, methinks.

5. He has aged well

18. !

[Marr]

6. This proves you're wrong:

[KittyWampus]

9. So you have nothing relevant to add.

[Marr]

14. I can't really take you seriously, no. /nt

[KittyWampus]

24. Whatever, reactionary screamers are only interested in perpetuating their circle jerk.

[idwiyo]

17. Snap!

[KittyWampus]

25. Good to see you are at the 5th grade level of response.

[idwiyo]

31. That's about 5 grades higher than the level of the OP it makes a fun of! Cheers!

21. Once again, I salute your comic genius! - nt

11. I think drunken master was one comment I saw the other day.

In a thread with insults hurled at the guy. Made by those on your side of the fence on domestic spying.

[Coyotl]

16. Obama started that rumor

"fault"

[flamingdem]

20. That was the only acceptable photo of those posted previously

The others were dark and poorly composed.

It's candid and shows a warm side I think.

[KittyWampus]

27. Note- NO ONE complaining can explain what's wrong with that pix.

[think]

28. LOL. Please remind me NOT to hire you as my photo editor
