Media manipulation at it's finest... or worst.

I particurally love the front page of MSN today.

Firstly, the Color's arent beared by a singular unit, but by a desginated color guard. At most, all you should see is a guideon bearer on the observer's left. Secoondly, if you look closely, their look like their at parade rest to me. The "flag bearer" in that pic has his hands behind his back. Thirdly, this has to be the worst photo editing job ever published by a "credible" news source.

I don't claim to be a photographer, but i think the mainpulation of this picture was done deliberatly to present imagery that is meant provoke pro war patrotism in the viewer.

Yeah yeah, ill go find my tin foil hat now and shut up.
