Over the years I've noticed ABCNews.com likes to have fun with Photoshop. They seem to have very lenient rules when it comes to the photos that accompany their stories. Today I spotted a picture of Laura Bush's head placed on the body of Godzilla on their front page. Here's the blog posting the picture links to over at ABCNews.com. On my blog I've previously discussed my frustration with ABCNews.com.
Update: The picture is no longer featured on the ABCNews.com Web site as of 2:25 p.m. CST.

MSM is out of control
May 23, 2008 - 13:21 ET by SupermanI know the MSM is liberal. But attacking First Lady Laura Bush like this is just wrong. I don't know what the hell ABC News is thinking.
Seriously
May 23, 2008 - 14:07 ET by MeanderingWhat has Laura Bush done? This is no different that a high schooler's myspace page making fun of the unpopular. Little ABC weasels!
come on
May 23, 2008 - 14:07 ET by ort777If you don't know what they're trying to accomplish, then you've got to get your head out of the sand. Nothing is out of bounds for the MSM. Remember, when a lib is in office, can't touch the daughter or wife but when it comes to a Republican, you beat the crap out of anything that moves. I'm sorry, but it's sick and they'll do, or say anything to drive Pres. Bush into the ground. They don't care that people don't trust them, don't buy their papers and change the channel - they keep spewing the hatred. They want Obama in office no matter the cost.

May 23, 2008 - 20:38 ET by motherbeltI really don't see anything malicious in it, since it was a takeoff on her daughter's joke about her.

That's what I say. They probably don't have anyone at ABC that has half the class and dignity that the first lady does, so I'm going to guess this is all jealousy. Stupidity comes in a close second.

May 23, 2008 - 13:34 ET by tracheostomyI found it all misleading. After reading the actual content, I was really let down by this non-story.
So, Terry made an excellent catch here. ABC's pandering to the casual browser. If you're not ready for it, you could easily assume something different and then bring it up in a half-assed conversation at Starbucks later on.

May 23, 2008 - 13:39 ET by marpelI saw the Tonight Show clip of Jenna and Laura. Jenna called her Mother, "Mommizilla" during the wedding preparations and everyone laughed. It was cute. I understand because I've seen other "Mommizillas" first hand. But, I still don't think ABC should have done the picture.

I've said it before, he's aiming for that "one world order". (IMHO)

Heck I'd even think the first lady would have a sense of humor about it since her daughters call her mommizillia.

May 23, 2008 - 16:48 ET by tracheostomyThe damage was already done. It got out to enough of the intended audience (half-asleep; headline-skimming West Coasters) to warrant similar stunts later on.

May 23, 2008 - 16:37 ET by bias-fighterI don't like ABC, but I watched Laura and Jenna on Leno last night. Jenna said they were calling Laura Momzilla during her wedding because of how she took charge after a storm threatened to ruin some of the event.
So, is this just a reference to Jenna's joke?
Yep. That's
May 23, 2008 - 16:44 ET by tracheostomyYep. That's it.
