Only the News Fit to Print: "Mitt Romney Poses for Photographs with Students of Fairfield [Va.] Elementary School," Crows the Associated Press...
No, "Mr. President," the Mittster was not giving that teen the full moon, nor (apparently) was the girl even staring at his posterior (but rather to the right of it). But that didn't stop the left-slanted Associated Press from giving that very impression this week with the above picture and caption (appearing in quotes at the top).
A very big deal? I don't think so, not really. I suspect little more was involved here than a few non-Romney-fan AP employees (i.e., just about anyone working over there) trying to get in few chuckles down at the ol' copy desk. However, would the Associated Press ever run with such a picture and caption portraying Obama in a similarly unflattering light? Methinks: Not in a million freakin' years.
Consistency and non-advocacy: It's about all I ask from the news media. So sad that we rarely get anything even close to that anymore.
