National Review PHOTOSHOPS Obama For It's October Cover

[kpete]

NATIONAL REVIEW


THE ORIGINAL



UPDATE: Todd Sumlin writes: “I am a photographer at The Charlotte Observer. I was on the photo platform directly behind the President at the Democratic National Convention. Attached is a photo from that same angle. As you can see, the posters the North Carolina delegates are holding were changed from ‘Forward’ to ‘Abortion.’”

2. Doesn't every person in that photo have a potential libel lawsuit against National Review?

3. Stay classy, NR!

Oh wait. You never were. Carry on.

4. Bwhahahahahaha

Romney's getting killed on every issue so they are back to the old standby Abortion. Lose.

5. The photographer should sue, just like Shepard Fairey got sued for using an unauthorized image of ..

Candidate Obama.

Sue Todd, Sue!

7. National Review is sleazy like their stupid candidate.

8. The Nation should have one with Mittfalca's crowd holding up "RAPE" signs. But then again

The Nation is a real magazine

10. Not the same angle. Rotate about 30 degrees (to your right) and you've got the Photoshop angle.

The woman in the Uncle Sam hat (just to his right in the Photoshop with the guy in the white suit) is much more to the left in the original. The guy in the black shirt to his left (front row) in the Photoshop is at the far left of the original. The man behind him and the woman to his left (his left, not photograph left) both wearing yellow shirts are visible in both shots.

It's also a really amateur Photoshop job. Whoever did that one should be fired for incompetence. Then again, maybe $1.98/hr is all they could afford to pay for someone to monkey around with a mouse.
