Sorry, but only a liberal would be so angry and full of rage that they would jump into the middle of a discussion, go completely off topic, and make up lies in order to attack and discredit Fox News.

When a person like him becomes so politically threatened by a cable news network that they have to derail threads and make up lies in a desperate attempt to stop people from watching, what you really have is liberal who uses the "libertarian" label, because they think it makes their lies about Fox seem more credible...

Kind of pathetic if you ask me.

Not at all. I'm simply saying their views. It has nothing to do with policy. My views differ greatly from my policy. The Constitution dictates my policy, not my views.

JERUSALEM (AP) — A small Jewish ultra-Orthodox newspaper in Israel is making waves internationally for removing German Chancellor Angela Merkel from a photo of this week's Paris march out of modesty. But readers of the Hamevaser newspaper's Monday edition didn't know, as she had been digitally removed, leaving Abbas standing next to Hollande. Israeli media joked it was meant to bring Abbas closer to Israeli premier Benjamin Netanyahu, who was standing nearby.

"A woman's exterior should not be seen and photographed or paraded in front of men," said Yosef Haim, a neighborhood resident. "I think it's a very positive thing." The picture in Hamevaser cut out other women, like Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo, though the newspaper clumsily left her dark glove on the sleeve of a marcher. The European Union's foreign policy chief, Federica Mogherini, was also cropped out......snip~

Some more bias with the Press. This time against women. What say ye?

I think what's more troublesome is that none of the people in that image can claim to be in favor of free speech, at least not with a serious face. The hypocrisy of that photo-op was just incredible. The one country that could probably claim some sort of "free speech" higher ground is probably Canada. However, even they regularly deny visas to people whose words they don't like. I'm glad the US didn't join the hypocrisy party and parade any of our figureheads around. Did you take a look at what the image looked like from above?

The press should have had a field day with that image. However, many on the right just clung on to... OMGZ! WE DIDN'T SEND ANYONE TO THE PHOTO-OP! It's almost like they thought these figureheads were marching with... the people.

Hello,

Is this even real or is this another attempt to misdirect attention away from Muslim attacks and at Israel?

Mornin' Hatuey. :2wave: I would agree with you there and about the hypocrisy of freedom of Speech. But as to just the Right sounding off about we didn't send anyone. You can check with ABC and CBS with those they had on as guests. Validating the Symbolics with Politics. Or some Demos questioning why.....no one of significance was sent.

Especially after BO Peep came up with all that hubbub with Sony being hacked.

Even Bill Maher is calling out the left on this. Saying they have to stand up for liberal ideology.

That if this was Christians lopping heads off in the Vatican. That the Libs and Progs would be all over them.

:roll:

And this is why you fail. You've convinced yourself that "only a liberal" would do something you don't like. Hence your rampant scrambling to make excuses for conservatives who are caught in the same unsavory behavior you lambaste "liberals" for. It's sad.

Ah, you would have known this had you read the article at the OP. Your skepticism was fueled by the fact that there was two different photos. I guess you didn't think was it possible that the publisher didn't have possession of the original photograph so they did the next best thing was to show a different one. Notice part of Merkel's hand is left in the doctored photo.

That picture was created by Grim, in post #34 in a round about way he told you that when he wrote: "I'm a web designer and web master for over 30 websites, and graphics is a hobby of mine."

Good lord that is even worse than if he had found some website ran by idiots that made the photo!

Grim17 said:
Huh? When a Yahoo article presents an image that they say was doctored, along with an image that was un-doctored to show the difference, one would expect that the un-doctored one would either be the exact photograph, or at least one taken at the same location and same approximate time.

WTF is so GD difficult about this? Or have you been taking cues from redress and jet, and decided that going off on me would make a wonderful new hobby?



I created that image myself. I took the 2 pictures from the Yahoo article that this thread was based upon, pointed out graphically the differences that proved that the 2 photos were taken at 2 completely different points during the march.

FFS, I already told you that I was the one who compared the 2 photos because graphic images are somewhat of a hobby of mine... If I hadn't created that image myself, then I couldn't have said that I compared them.

I am the source and I'm certainly not affraid to say so.

WTF is so difficult about all of this? Nothing! That is the problem. You did not know that the missing females had lead the march. From the start to the finish of it, they were right there in the front of the march, you know leading it. They stayed in the front of the march until it ended. They did not take a break at a cafe along the march route, have some croissant and then rejoin the other leaders at the front of the march just in time for the end. They were there the whole time and press coverage from around the globe and by too many news agencies and services (photographers too) to even list documented that.

Since you did not know that and you could not be bothered to read the article that started the thread? You dreamed up a cockamamie conspiracy based upon your complete ignorance about the event. You even went out and made a crude graphic that you thought might prove this was a conspiracy, based on the fact that the march was a moving column of people through the streets of Paris. And the buildings and trees had changed in the background. WTF the problem is with this is that it does not matter at what point or place along the march route or what angle the thousands of photos of the event were taken. The female leaders were that at the head of the march the entire time so any photograph (there has only been one) that did not show them in their place along side other leaders was fabricated. You could have spared yourself and the rest of us this perfect example of missing the forest for the trees by simply being aware of such a well publicized march. Or by reading about it in the thread OP when you came to the thread. That's WTF is so difficult for you Grim17, not me or the rest of us, just you.

It looks like I'm not the only one just amazed at all the energy and effort you put into arguing this lunacy. And you are still arguing and defending it. Just amazing. Wow talk about as clueless as a newborn!

What is interesting is that this "moving column" never really existed to begin with. At least not as told by the media. The world leaders didn't actually march with the people. They were isolated and on a street populated by them, their security, and the media. In short, Grim17 made up a theory about what happened during a staged photo-op to explain why an ultra-conservative group, decided to doctor the images. If that doesn't tell you how silly this entire thing has been, I don't know what will.

Oh the small "moving column" did exist and did move through a few blocks of Paris. The photo-op happened but the picture you posted earlier is the most illustrative of them all!

Yep, I'm not saying it didn't exist, I'm just saying it didn't happen the way the media presented it. The point was mostly that Grim17 made up a theory for why Merkel wasn't in a photo-op specifically tailored to show world leaders in a single shot. I realized he wasn't informed on this issue when he started coming up with a theory for why Merkel wasn't in the shot. Mostly because if he had known the entire photograph was staged, he would have realized how silly it is to claim that Merkel could have been doing something else at the time the photograph was taken. Where the hell else would she be? Using a payphone two blocks down the street?

Hello MMC;

We (at least myself) do not know what they reported in their article. We only know that they touched up the picture due to their beliefs. That being said many have a problem with what papers here report. People on the right feel that the NYT does not properly cover stories like the IRS, while people on the left feel that the WSJ does not properly cover immigration if at all.

What is wrong with the WSJ's coverage of immigration???
 
What I don't understand is how Hamevaser had the legal right to alter the picture in such a misleading way and then publish it? Anyone know who the rightsholder was?

It all really depends on what is in the image's license.
