From the San Fran Chronicle:
San Francisco Democrat and House minority leader Nancy Pelosi’s proudest
accomplishment in the November election was a new caucus where women, gays,
Asians, Latinos and African Americans outnumber white males. It is the first
time in history that white men have been outnumbered in any Congressional
caucus. Pelosi often heralds her party’s diversity efforts by citing San
Francisco and saying “the strength is in the mix.”
But at her press conference Friday, she found herself Friday defending a
doctored photo of diversity. The photograph of women Democrats, taken Thursday
with the swearing in of new Congress and posted on her Flickr website, showed
four extra House Democratic women who were not in the original photo.
They had arrived late. Their images were inserted into the photograph. http://blog.sfgate.com/nov05election/2013/01/04/nancy-pelosi-defends-doctored-photos/
It used to be that one would say people are missing from a photo, but in the world of liberals, lying and doctoring photos is just fine with them.
If we can't trust them with a simple photograph, why should we trust them with real issues?

This one doesn't bother me much. It's kind of low-rent for Congress, but it's very common for all sorts of group photos, from casts of movies and TV shows, to news teams, sports teams and other group shots. It's just too bad they used a crappy artist to do it.
ReplyDeleteThis is really bad!!! The article even misses some details... Besides the 4 women added in the back row, there are two women also added in on the left side (the woman in the black dress & blue suit jacket in the 3rd row and the woman wearing grey pants and a black suit jacket) who were not in the original picture. Speaking of the women, did anyone notice the lady who was looking to her right, is suddenly looking forward?? Also, the black woman at the far right end of the front row who was wearing a blue dress is gone and replaced by a white woman.... And nothing is said about that either... Was a racist move by Pelosi's people replace her? So what I see is 6 people being added, a direct edit of one person and a black woman being replaced by a white woman.
