Using A Pix Of Two Presidents Smiling Isn't Yellow Journalism. [View all]

A perfectly nice photo of two world leaders is used by some news outlets… that isn't yellow journalism.

And there is something really odd that anyone would find fault in the following pix.

Two relatively nice looking presidents whom seem at ease (at least in that instant).

I've seen the term "yellow journalism" used a couple of time recently here on DU. People may need to look up the term and find out what it actually means.
