Reacting to photographs of Sen. John McCain taken by a freelance photographer for Atlantic Monthly, MRC President and NewsBusters Publisher Brent Bozell took aim at the photographer while noting the magazine has reacted appropriately by denouncing her work. [audio of segment here]
"In this case, I don't know that I blame Atlantic Monthly for this reason. [Jill Greenberg] is a rogue photographer," Bozell told Fox News Channel's Sean Hannity and Alan Colmes on their September 15 program.
Bozell added that Atlantic's editor denounced Greenberg as "appalling." "This wasn't the [fault of the] Atlantic Monthly, this was the photographer" who is among a segment of the political left that "is just out of control." That doesn't negate that fact that the media have not been biased in this election cycle, Bozell added.:
BRENT BOZELL to ROY SEKOFF of the Huffington Post: Consider this. Consider that Rasmussen does a poll two weeks ago that shows that by a factor of 10-to-1 the American people believe the media are out to get Sarah Palin.... You know what that means? That means your Barack Obama supporters agree with me on this!

Not a word to be heard for all of the cross talk.
Brent, we want to hear Alan yelp at you "don't tase me bro"!
Kidding, but those two were so seriously annoying.

September 15, 2008 - 22:11 ET by KevpotImagine for a moment that a right-leaning photog had doctored shots of Obama; made his ears even larger, his lips bigger, and holding a watermelon or a bucket of chicken...that story would lead every single newscast and they would be demanding that McCain condemn it. It would be a feeding frenzy by the left wing dominated drive by media. Yet, not a peep about this.
Nope, no media bias folks.
Atlantic Monthly must
September 16, 2008 - 11:14 ET by Hero SquadAtlantic Monthly must accept some culpability for this fiasco. After all, they were the ones who picked the photo that Jill Greenberg was hoping they would pick. I'd like to know what it was about that photo they liked? Why was that the one they felt conveyed the essense of their story?
Had Jill Greenberg kept her opinions private, Atlantic Monthly would've had no problems using that photo.
They aren't upset because the photo casts McCain in a poor light; they're upset because Greenberg squawked and her deliberate shenanigans made the magazine look bad.
