Default So, this is your vaunted Press

Do a little news.googling about this picture
Potty Break

And then find the new statement by Reuters.

And you will understand why you can't readily believe what the press says.

I think you missed the biggest story here.... The image is a fake that was presented as real by a journalist and published as real by Reuters. Reuters recently admitted that the picture is a fake.

Yeah, the American press is liberal, everybody knows this.

The reporters are mostly liberal, the owners are mostly liberal, the managers are mostly liberal, hell, even the TV sets are mostly liberal.

Most recent info I can find is that Reuters say they slightly altered the colouring of the photo to make it more legible and nothing more. Can you post your link to their admission it was fake? Or is this your definition of fake?
