http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2015/03/09/white-house-nyt-leave-bushes-out-lead-photos-from-selma-march/The decision by The New York Times to run a front-page image on Sunday of President Obama -- and family -- leading a march to mark the 50th anniversary of the Selma civil rights clashes, while leaving out of the image former President George W. Bush and his wife Laura, apparently was mirrored in the "official White House photo" of the event.
The White House blog does acknowledge in the caption that the Bushes were there, and the photo at the bottom of the page includes them off to the side.
A spokeswoman for the Times told FoxNews.com that the newspaper did not crop the Bush family out of the original image for the front-page display.
"This is a stunning example of media bias," said Deneen Borelli, a Fox News contributor and outreach director for the conservative FreedomWorks.

(23,946 posts)The rest of the media may not be saying so publically, but the rest of the media is surely now ignoring, mocking and laughing at Fox privately, just like everyone else is, for Fox full heartedly defending the many lies of their top rated show.
The logical conclusion is Fox actively supports active bald faced lying. Nothing else makes sense
There is more than one way to skin a Fox. And Fox may have skinned themselves.
