Ok, if I had a camera on me almost 24x7 . . .
I've got to admit that there would bound to be some unflattering photos -- weird facial expressions, awkward stances, etc. But doesn't it seem that there are an exceptional number of these types of shots of Dimson? I don't recall any other president being caught with so many ridiculously, inappropriate facial expressions. Is it just me?

2. One might consider a lot of editors, in choosing which pics to publish
are finding outlets for their concern at the way their corporate bosses work so diligently to make sure the 'news' favors Dimson.

Whenever I see a really bad photo of the shrub, I hear a wooden clog hitting a metal cog.

3. Have a story about Bush I
Lived in Chicago, read the Tribune which is historically a republican paper--I mean from the civil war type historically. But towards the end of the Bush v Clinton campaign, the Trib started running unflattering pictures of Bush all the time. It endorsed him, but the pictures were UNREMITTINGLY bad ones. Maybe four days before the election, there was a big eight inch photo on the front page--but it was from the back at a campaign rally, so the pic was darkened Bush back about facing a crowd with a wave. It was like he had DIED. Or was waving goodbye after a concession. It was the most pointless picture ever as far as news goes, but in attitude it was the equivalent of an obit. But they ran it front and center and huge.
