Check out the photo of Condoleezza Rice that was published by USA Today last week

Notice anything peculiar about her eyes?

No, Condi isn't possessed; the photo was manipulated.

This news comes courtesy of From The Pen, which found a pre-doctored version of the Associated Press photo on Yahoo! España:

And some say the media is independent.

Isn't it more that they picked up a pic that was already photoshopped (presumably for humoristic reasons) and used it, rather than that they photoshopped it themselves? It's not like they have an agenda to make Rice look evil, or summit (she can handle that on her own :roll: )...would be interesting to know what the article related to the pic was about.

If they picked up someone else's pic, they should have given credit.

And regardless, it's their responsibility to report news accurately. That includes pictures. Otherwise they could make up whatever stories they wanted to.

Basically, this isn't necessarily illegal, but it certainly brings their credibility into question.

USA today corrects the photo and adds a editoial note. They did edit the photo themselves claim it was to "brighten" her face.

So theyre racists? lol just kidding.

'Brighten her face' Yeh, sure thats a fucking lie if ever i saw one:

If they wanted to brighten her face they would have used Photoshop to area-brighten a part of her face.

What they did, was try to make her more attractive. Why did it fail: Becuase theyre Photoshop n00bz.

Why did they want to make her more attractive? To wrongfully hide her humanity and give her an aura of charisma.

Why? Because the media have political interest.

Thats just 2 paragraphs out of 7 that describe her accomplishments. She might be ugly but she is defiantly not stupid.

Yeah, but what a nerd...imagine how boring her college years must have been! Too much studying, not enough partying. I guess it's a good counterbalance for George 'Partyboy' Bush, whose daddy bought him a degree. ;)


As for the pic...weird that they admit to photoshopping it themselves. It looks like totally crap amateur work...I could probably do just as 'well' with nothing but paint. :shock: Weird.

ok...I call her stupid because I watched her on cnet getting owned by congress. Maybe she's smart and she was just acting stupid. She is, however, not a very impressive secretary of state.
