Bush photo showed bias

Sat., Jan. 17, 2009

The Spokesman-Review

I was saddened by the large, colored picture of President Bush The Spokesman-Review put on the front page of the newspaper on Jan. 13. I am sure it took quite a while to go through all the photos to make sure the worst possible picture of him was used. The news media continue to throw stones at him even as he leaves the White House.

The next photo on the front page will be of Obama and it will be of him smiling “big as life” or perhaps of his new dog. Of course, we know that will be adorable.
