Believe It -- Or Not!


I Don't Believe It, originally uploaded by DeHoll.

As we get further into the campaign season, I thought this was worth resurrecting. It is Time Magazine's Earth day edition cover.

I bring it back here because imagery will play a critical role in shaping public opinion in the months ahead.

My question is, will editors of the so-called impartial and objective media outlets look deeply enough into how imagery is used BEFORE they publish, broadcast or otherwise convey their products?

What is cute to some may be more thanthought provoking to others. If the message appears skewed, could that not be a legitimate perspective?
