..that's funny.
I can't believe that guy at the bottom, under Twitter, (at least on mine) said, and I quote: "It's about time we have a great black man on money; Obama, Malcolm, King Jr., Me." ...lol, Obama? Really? Malcolm, ok. MLK Jr., ok. Him or Obama? Get the **** out... Question I have though.. How do you possibly mistake those two?? For Obama to be in a black and white photo.. ...wouldn't he be like 10? |

How could you possibly make that mistake? You just happened to have both their pictures next to each other? No one noticed the difference? After all, aren't you all reporters? I'm pretty sure they all know what the president looks like? |

If it was not a real mistake, then it is not comedy.
If they just made it up, that's just stupid. But if the Post actually made that mistake, that is funny. How can you make that mistake? Easy. News papers keep photos of people all the time on file to use. Obama and Malcom X look a lot alike. ![]() |

News papers keep photos of people all the time on file to use. Obama and Malcom X look a lot alike. I know that.. I'm saying.. It's in black and white.. ..Obama's not. Even if they have color pictures of Malcolm, who has pictures of Obama in black and white? Secondly, doesn't the process require like several different people to check the articles/pictures, etc for validity before being printed? Similar yes, but even I, who didn't realize their similarity was so strong, would have noticed that. I mean come on.. The microphone. The background. The coloring. The glasses. Similar, yes. Identical, no. |

Fox put Obama's pic up for Romney in a rather long report and labelled it Romney and left it up for the whole report and only came back with an apology later...after people called in no doubt! ![]() here is an article about it - no sound needed.... http://www.newshounds.us/fox_news_graphic_mixes_up_obama_with_romney |
