Bush Campaign Alters Image for TV Ad.
 The Associated Press released the following Image detailing some “work” the Bush campaign did to an image for use in one of their ads. “The original photograph shows a sea of soldiers sitting behind the president as he stands at a podium just left of the center of the frame. Bush was speaking at Fort Drum in New York on July 19, 2002.” (AP Graphic) Why was this done? To make it more “racially diverse” or to simply make it look like more people? Whatever it is…it’s peculiar. This image depicts the very essence of “election year politics”. update (10/29/2004 5:47 pm): I was just told by someone that this is shouldn’t be a big deal. Apparently, in advertisement, this is done all the time. I guess I’ve just never seen it before in a political campaign. I probably haven’t been looking for it either. How do you feel about stuff like this? If you have any example of Kerry doing this in a commercial please let me know. I’ll post it along side this image. |

yeah, it’s one of those things that a lot of anti-bush people want to make a big deal out of, but it’s really nothing at all. so they edited out the podium and added a few more people. *shrug*

I would Imagine all campaign ads are full of some sort of deception. I try not to pay any attention to any ads.
mirvae said it best *shrug*
