    LOL.

    You're the guy who says that anti-abortion folks who don't murder abortion providers are cowards.

    But... you don't have the balls to quit your crappy newspaper job in the face of these kinds of directives, or blow the whistle on the folks who who put out such directives.

    Let's see some proof of this big boy. Name names. Who ordered this? Where?

    I also think it's funny that folks think we're talking about the photos used in the Podunk Press, chosen at deadline, from the meager offerings available to them.

    No one gives a fuck what photo you choose. Donald Trump isn't complaining about the AP photo that runs in Podunk.

    We're talking about stock photos, used repeatedly by a news network.

    With Obama, we're talking about iconic photos, used on magazine covers, and in other places, not chosen at deadline.

    But, keep thinking we're talking about you.

    Remember when CNN manipulated a photo of the Oregon shooter to make him look white?

    AP Definitive Source | Down-to-earth reasons for that heavenly glow

    “The halo issue has been around for over a decade,” said J. David Ake, AP Washington’s assistant chief of bureau for photography. “We received the same complaints when we photographed President George W. Bush with the presidential seal behind him. It’s never been our photographers’ goal to give the president a heavenly glow. The out-of-focus presidential seal is simply a tool to separate the subject from the background so he is not speaking in a sea of black. We’ve heard the concerns, however, and we now make the same picture with greater depth of field or a slightly different angle so it’s clear it’s the seal of office behind the president.”

    OK so we're not talking about the Podunk Press.
    Uhhh whooops I guess we ARE talking about the Podunk Press.
    OK so again we're not talking about the Podunk Press.
    Magazine covers and other publications nationwide such as the Podunk Press, so once again I guess we are talking about the Podunk Press. By the way they invented computers 20-25-30 years ago so even the Podunk Presses of the world have access to wire photos so they can pick a fresh wire photo of Obama (or Dumpf) to use in the paper every day, they don't have to dig up some wax-coated file photo, that went out with the Carter Administration.
    Okey dokey. Jeezus you're as scatterbrained as your bat brained hero, but at least he has the excuse of Ivanka on his lap with her hands down his pants to account for his scrambled consciousness.

    You're going to wear yourself out defending every kindergarten-level tantrum Trump throws over the next four or eight years.

    Sorry. One typo, that should have been obvious from the context.

    Just a couple of photos, chosen at random, from what they had available -- and what fit -- at deadline:
