With Photoshop, A Picture is Not Worth a Thousand Words
Last month I wrote about Bret Schundler, a GOP candidate for the Governor of New Jersey, who doctored a poster from a Dean presidential campaign to show himself in front of a screaming crowd. Of course, it was Dean's screaming crowd and not his. Now, the campaign of Virginia Fields, a Democratic candidate for Mayor of New York City, has been using Photoshop to its own ends.
The questionable picture features a rainbow coalition — two Asian-Americans, one Hispanic-looking man, one white male, three black males, one black woman and one white woman.The photo is made to look as if it were taken at a single event — a Fields press conference.
The accompanying flier text says Fields would be a mayor who pays attention to New Yorkers "in every borough and every neighborhood." [New York Post]
There is a difference however between the Fields collage and the Schundler collage. The people pictured in Fields' artwork were actually at Fields rallies; just not necessarily the same one at the same time.
Everyone should just knock this stuff off!
