Fauxbama-mania Alert?

By Brian C. Ledbetter · Wednesday, May 9. 2007 08:57
Gateway Pundit is pointing out possible fauxtography in an editorial photograph of Barack Obama, one of the Democratic contenders to the White House in our current election cycle.

Personally, I don't see it. The photograph on the right seems to have some tonal and sharpness corrections applied to it, but other than that, it doesn't seem to be enough of a "cry foul" change to me, and could easily be explained away as a "housekeeping" change.

Fauxtography? I doubt it.


What do y'all think?

Here is what a handful of random people think about this article. But first, the fine print:
The opinions expressed here, even where approved for display, do not necessarily reflect the opinions of this website, the management, or any other entity or organization, with the exception of the Vast Zionist Conspiracy. Those opinions we represent in style, yo. Please keep the language in these comments clean, as this is intended to be a family-friendly, work-friendly website. Comments not compliant with this policy will be edited for content where necessary. Abusive or otherwise illegal comments will be reported to the proper authorities, up to and including the aforementioned Vast Zionist Conspiracy. The Management cannot and will not be held responsible for commenters making a spectacle of themselves, even if The Management are the said commenters in question. In other words, don't take yourself so seriously, folks. We're all here to discuss the news, and more importantly, to have fun. Now go get yourself into some OCD treatment program—you obviously need it if you actually read all of this mess.

*In my layman's eyes, it just looks like an increase in color to bring out the washed out photo.

*You're absolutely right, Cap'n. Thank you for expressing in words precisely what I was trying to say.
