The Photos of Hillary and Obama on the Front Page of TPM are Gawd-Awful
What's the message here, guys? Does TPM have some kind of Drudge or Huff Po crush? Are the bad photos of the candidates meant to reflect the ever-lowering quality of the posts here in the Reader Comments section? Are some members of the TPM staff hoping to move up to positions at the New York Post?
Just wunderin'

I've notice that TPM often posts unflattering photos to go along with unflattering news. I've seen similar Clinton photos, but the Obama one is new. I bet that once the RBC ruling comes in, the images will be changed so that whoever seems to have "won" gets an exuberant-looking photo, and whoever seems to have "lost" looks worried or contemplative.

noticed. And also, yes, those images are both pretty awful.

It's an awful mess, so that is entirely appropriate.

Cue up the disgruntled Carl Levin photo...

Regardless of the understandable attempt to match photos to stories, TPM ain't Drudge. This is still a purportedly pro-Dem site, ain't it? Many of the photos Drudge has posted of Hillary were way out-of-bounds, but that's Drudge. I expect better at TPM. Can the crappy photos, OK?
