I got to see part of Condoleeza Rice's testimony this morning in the 9/11 witch hunt. I, for one, am glad she's in the Bush administration. She reconfirmed how much of class act she is.
Not that you'll be able to tell by media coverage. How come the media seems to use only the angry, scowl photos of Rice? In the short part of her testimony that I saw today, she was usually smiling a pretty smile.
It all points to another double standard by the media. If conservatives portrayed a liberal in the same light (taking an image--made in a split-second-- out of context to define her improperly), there'd be an outcry.
In photojournalism, there a lot of ways to skew viewers' perception. I think this is one example.
