Richard Curtis and Evil-Eyed Condi

Posted by Eric at 7:29 am. Filed under: General

USA Today has doctored a photo of Condi Rice. From the Pen has the before and after shots, as does Michelle Malkin.

Mike says it’s more free publicity for Adobe.

UPDATE: USA Today corrects, with this comment:

Editor’s note: The photo of Condoleezza Rice that originally accompanied this story was altered in a manner that did not meet USA TODAY’s editorial standards. The photo has been replaced by a properly adjusted copy. Photos published online are routinely cropped for size and adjusted for brightness and sharpness to optimize their appearance. In this case, after sharpening the photo for clarity, the editor brightened a portion of Rice’s face, giving her eyes an unnatural appearance. This resulted in a distortion of the original not in keeping with our editorial standards.

UPDATE 2:

California Conservative uncovers yet another manipulation. ;-)

And a Michelle Malkin reader thinks the USA Today’s note (posted above) is a lie. And Confederate Yankee also calls the bluff. Classical Values tries red instead of white.
