I hate to harp on an old subject, but isn't the fact that they pushed a photoshopped image on the public as fact raise a few questions?
How many other pictures are "photoshopped to make them look prettier?"
How can a network, newspaper, magazine claim to be "fair, honest and unbiased" and then print shit like this?
Even though at best, it's an exaggeration of a real situation, doesn't the fact that they let this one through destroy all credablity with the public?
I know that my news is biased. It's human nature to have a predisposition towards bias, but I didn't expect them to purposefully distort the event. I don't like my news septic, I'm a big boy, I can watch and understand the news all by myself.
As for the Michael Moore thing: I was watching the broadcast, I taped it for my mother. While I don't necessarily agree with the ol' boy. There was at first a large influx of clapping and cheering from the front, and then the boos seem to come from the back or balcony. There was a mix of both, and then the cheers died out suddenly.
Again, that's just my take and it could've been the placement of the boom and other audio equipment.
