FOX News Upset At Newsweek For Printing An Un-Retouched Photo of Sarah Palin

The GOP and their propaganda arm, FOX News, are up in arms over the latest Newsweek cover of Sarah Palin that accompanies this scathing article by Jon Meacham. The article, that points to Palin's "commonness" as a problem to her credibility as a candidate, is less of a concern to the GOP than the fact that they did a close up of her face and did not retouch it to hide blemishes and pores. And you may remember, FOX knows about retouching photos for credibility's sake.
-------
"beautiful" mentioned at least 5 times

"mortifying"

"women would be shocked and horrified"

"folks" "folks" "folks" "folks"

Newsweek offered a counterpoint from Karl Rove

1. I am a woman. I am not electing a spokesmodel. I don't give a shit if her picture
is retouched. It isn't the hair on her face that concerns me, it is what's behind her face.

Just not to the degree the plastic turkey gang would like.

edit: You can see her lip liner almost all the time, so why retouch that? She has to have some wrinkles..she's forty-four! Her make-up looks caked. Wow, she's a real human?

7. Who cares what she looks like it is the mind that is what we want
I do not want more people that have their minds shut before they get into office trying to run this govt. It is what I like about Obama and Biden. Both have minds that will hear new things and put some reason into it. I am sick to death of living in the Middle ages. Leave that to the GOP base and the crazies from the Middle East. Lets move on.

8. This is just a distraction from the real issues and another attempt to paint the
"liberal media" as being in Obama's pocket.

10. You can airbrush a picture of a pig. But underneath, there's still a pig.

It was Halloween early.

17. You have got to be kidding me. It would have been a scandal if
they did re-touch the photo, IMO.
