Brilliant. “Keep it up” is all I can say. Between The Atlantic magazine and the Obama ad currently running about McCain’s being unable to use email, the Dem jackals are digging a deeper hole. I recall how the Conservatives [PC at the time] served up their own demise by making fun of Chretien’s Bells Palsy in 1993. I trust the McCain team won’t play up the victim and let the rest of the media play it for them.
I think her ethics are twisted, but she did the job asked. I think she took advantage of the situation, what else is new?

A little closer to home, Globe and Mail reporter Colin Freeze
apparently had no trouble choosing sides… “While negotiators
with the “armour police squad”… known as the Emergency
Task Force were called in, the matter was resolved peacefully,
albeit with the arrest of the parents.”
Toronto cops have tanks? Wow.

Nah, neo, they just semi-literate. Sorta like the editors at the Edmonton Sun.
When I saw “Globe” in the post I automatically assumed it was the Mop and Pail. Anyone else?
errr, they ARE just semi-literate.

Maybe the Atlantic will finally bring back Steyn’s obits now. I always wondered if his sudden absence had something to do with Sullivan.
Jill Greenberg, the ‘photographer’ in question, is Canadian.
How is it that Canada produces such vile filth?
With any luck, it’s the end of her journalism career. Who can trust the scumhag?
>> “How is it that Canada produces such vile filth?”
One of the photoshopped “pieces” she produced has an animal defecating on the Republican candidate.
Maybe she got the idea from Harper’s war room.
“Maybe she got the idea from Harper’s war room.”
Yup. Given that she’s a 41 year-old Liberal, her brain capacity is retarded to that of an adolescent. Extra points for pointing that out. Something that requires consideration.
Check this story out Kate, while Obama was in Iraq, he was trying to arrange for the troops to stay there until he was inaugerated.

The one thing I’ve consistently observed about lib-left journalists is their juvenile meanness of spirit towards anyone with whom they disagree.
It’s exactly the nasty wall a supply teacher comes up against in many grade 7/8 classrooms: We don’t like you. We don’t know you. We don’t care. We don’t want to know you. We’re going to make life as difficult as we can for you. We will make fun of you, belittle you, humiliate you, laugh at you. We will treat you like dirt. What a laugh!
The difference, of course, between a 41 year-old journalist and a pack of infantile jackals should be the 41 year-old’s professionalism. Emphasis on the “should.”
Ha — I suppose she should have tinted his skin green too — ah, photoshop!
The Atlantic’s editor issued an apology to the effect that they were blindsided by Greenberg. I fired a letter-to-the-editor online back saying, sorry, I’m not buying that. I don’t believe for a minute that Greenberg’s partisan politics were a total unknown in that industry. People like her are hardly subtle. What a despicable little weasel. And why wasn’t a contract written where she forfeited the right to publish the other proofs under financial penalty?
The Atlantic morphed into a lefty hack magazine after Michal Kelly, a past editor, died in Iraq in an accident. He was a conservative that kept them balanced.
And they wonder why we loath them. Flushing out their lies, mocking them and financially boycotting their products we can never let up on.
“I suppose she should have tinted his skin green too ”
Do you remember the Time magazine cover when Newt took over Congress in ’94? They did the same lighting from beneath and tinted it green and red, with the headline “How the Gringrich Stole Christmas”
Reminds me of the ‘How Scary’ Maclean’s front cover froma few years back….
The photographer is more important than the photographed.
The interviewer is more important than the interviewed.
The story is more important than the facts.
Job 4:7-9 (King James Version)
7 Remember, I pray thee, who ever perished, being innocent? or where were the righteous cut off?
8 Even as I have seen, they that plow iniquity, and sow wickedness, reap the same.
9 By the blast of God they perish, and by the breath of his nostrils are they consumed.
Tim – yep — ya gotta just laugh when you see this type of thing going on.
I’ve never understood what the big fuss was. I don’t confuse someone who knows how to use a computer with someone who is scientifically and technologically literate.
The president shouldn’t be mucking around with computers much anyway. They’re pretty much a waste of time.
Well, an Atlantic editor was on FOX since I posted. Asked why they didn’t vett this woman’s radical politics, she has a history of smearing Bush, he had no answer. Megyn Kelly remarked that checking Google for a few minutes would have revealed all they needed to know about Greenberg. No answer.
They haven’t paid her yet. And, they are looking into legal action. Contractually she had no right to use the other proofs in the manner that she did. Mea culpa. Mea culpa. A day late and a dollar short. Typical.
How hard is it to use Google? The combined stupidity of the journalism industry is beyond belief. One word as to what kills them off: Google.

Speaking of the odious Beagle Blogger, why is he still at the Atlantic after starting his disgusting rumours about Bristol Palin? Plainly there is a want of sensible leadership at that publication leading to this series of problems.
As Kate says, the media extinction is a case of suicide, but do they have to be so inept about it? Wikipedia undoubtedly has an entry on seppuku that even journalists, editors and publishers can understand.
While we’re on the MSM, what about the oft-repeated statement in our own MSM that people are not accepting Dion’s ‘Green Shaft’ plan because they ‘don’t understand it’.
Is that really the case? This explanation puts the onus on to ‘the people’ (we dumb peasants) who are too ignorant to understand Dion’s plan.
Couldn’t it be that we aren’t dumb; that we DO understand his plan; that we view it as having NOTHING to do with the environment but only as a means of raising money..which the Liberals will then use to do their usual. Bribe voters to vote for them.
Remember, the left, ie, Liberals, operate in a class structure. There are two classes; the elite professionals (govt civil service, teachers, health care, all public service). This elite class alone has the right-to-rule The rest of who actually work for a living…we’re are RULED. And we are too dumb to understand what the Rulers are talking about.
This only further proves what children are the left. This is a prank at the high school level. I am sure she will survive since the media and magazinery is all run by the left, but the other half of the country won’t be buying their mags or hiring that douche bag to do any photo work.
It looks a lot like the right will wind in the US and Canada. Britain is on the verge of a move to the right as are many European countries.
Won’t be long before McCain is asked to address the Europeans.
The little kids who comprise the left and who have been waiting for the great Obama Santa Clause may have to keep waiting. They should consider just growing up a bit and getting on with life and stop pissing on their lunch.
Brian Mulreney wored in conservative party up to 1993 then by 2003 and that Mark Haris

Hey Mos, are you Mork’s brother?
Good morning, fellow reprobates. Speaking of journalistic ethics, this link will provide a laugh. Also, even while I’m happy Google is investing locally in a big way, I NEVER use their search engine. Those communists were slamming Bush for trumped up internet “privacy” charges while at the same time they were allowing the Chinese government access to the records of it’s private citizens. Hypocrites, hypocrites, hypocrites.

Hole, deeper.
Encountered an amusing factoid the other day: evidently Bush’s abysmal Truman-like approval ratings are at least equal to Congress and Media combined.
Also, encountered the other day the enormously effective propaganda technique for creating disturbing images: filming Bush on TV. Film of film, or perhaps video of video. Quite the effect you can get using this method: the image is stark, grainy, distant, cropped close-up, spooky. Brave New World and all that.
Looks to me like the Atlantic got tired of digging at the bottom of the hole there with the rest of the DemocRats.
They rented a Bobcat.
this shows :
Pierre Trudeau stay in power for 11 years and
Brian Mulroney stayed for 9 years
who was prgrasive Conservative later changed their name to coservative in year 2003
now next steps is we must review what these above 3 men did good and what they did bad in their time of in their power to we can say
in past 30 years in run the Canada politic parties only 3 men stay in longer time
1) Pierre Trudeau work for 11 years
2) Brian Mulroney work or 9 years
3)Jean Chrétien work for 10 years
did some job done must be done good more than bad to let them stay longer now you must review this and with review my view of my recommandation to fix
existing of your political party before it is too late you should not blindly accept any thing you must do some research of good and bad side of them!!
nobody can work for 8 years or moer and all thing they did you call it bad I am agree with it
then study who did what in that 30 years and what is good and bad and fix your political party and review world politic as well and reviw my comments too

As a small town, American, I can tell you that average people will vote for McCain due to his personal character and history of service to the country.
The unethical photographer will piss people off and those who normally wouldn’t go out and work for a campaign will work for McCain/Palin.
Keep it coming, ’cause y’all are sooooo clever.
Mos – you got a point, mate?
“… maybe it was somewhat irresponsible for them [The Atlantic] to hire me.”
Somewhat. Yes.
It would be close to suicide for anyone to hire her _after_ this. Can you just see her show up and, well be asked to leave?
” I’m sorry Ms. Editrix, your photographer does not meet Very basic professional standards, your hiring her demonstrates obvious bad faith. Go away. no interview. Ever.”

Breach of contract, at the very least. Say goodbye to the “professional” appellation, sweetie. You just became a requisite amateur.
T’is good this “photographer” let us seen her pro-demo-fessionalism, as we now kno what to think in the future, should the credits read her name, it allows us to track the enemy-with-in
and as one poster pointed out, this sort of juvinile behaviour will motivate McCain supporters, and turn some Obama-bin-Biden supporters off
thusly I’ll thank the COW for this blunder of her’s
This kind of unprofessional partisan foolishness is an upward career move in the MSM.
After ‘retiring’ in disgrace Rather is still a vaunted columnist in the MSM.
Good post Kate. Keep them coming, as the left MSM keeps hanging themselves. McCain doesn’t have to even use advertising money, this crap keeps popping up and the real people, far more than the imbeciles of the left will vote for McCain / Palin ticket.
This can only benefit McCain as did the nasty Palin bashing. The growing crop of weird characters that are coming out in favour of Obama will have a negative effect on his popularity. It has too.
In general I would say this election is as much a vote on the MSM as it is a vote for the candidates. I think the election could represent a defining moment in history where the people will come to realize that traditional media, with its entrenched left wing ideology, is no longer a serious force.
Gibson’s interview of Palin was a good example. I think many people watched that (or read about it) not to see Sarah Palin, but rather to see how Gibson would treat her. He was the one being assessed by the viewing public. That’s quite a shift from the past, where all media people were considered Gods, and where we had to swallow their every word no matter how biased they were.
gee i’m shocked. another dishonest person in the media.
ATLANTIC MONTHLY EDITOR TO OFFER APOLOGY TO MCCAIN FOR PHOTOG’S DOCTORED PICS
http://elections.foxnews.com/2008/09/15/atlantic-monthly-editor-to-offer-apology-to-mccain-for-photogs-doctored-pics/
Well if the Atlantic was so put-off by Greenburg’s deception, why are they still using one of her shots for the front cover, and why did they accept and pay her for any of her unprofessional silliness.
This brings up another issue/question. Knowing the unhinged hatred by some nuts in a political campaign, why is not prudent and standard campaign management procedure to require all original picture files/film be submitted for approval for use by McCain.
This amounts to a stupid campaign mismanagement mistake.
Check the fox news link. I think it mentions that the Atlantic will not pay her as a result of breach of contract.
She also probably thinks her readers are stupid and that they cannot determine the difference between agree and disagree. Then again, MAYbe not.
Kittie,dearest,can you do a blog on when harper screwed saskatchewan out of 800 million a year.
thanxs
morningstar, darling, do your own damn blog.
I found this statement from Ms. Greenberg’s hilarious: “I want to stir stuff up, but not to the point where I get audited if he becomes president.“.
The courage of the average Leftard to stand firmly behind their convictions is always so impressive.
Quote :”morningstar, darling, do your own damn blog.”
Right. And when nobody reads it, you’ll know it’s us.
“How hard is it to use Google?”
It may require a journalist to pull both thumbs out of their ass.
The problem with bashing the editors for hiring a leftard photographer is that leftards are the only photographers around.
I am an amateur photographer and of all the people who I’ve met who do it, most are left. Of the pro photographers I’ve met, all are left. Not just left, most are extreme, way-out-there left.
If you had to find “unbiased” photographers, you’d have to take the pictures yourself (although in my case, I’d like to and I’d do a damn fine job of it!)
