Reuters photos of the year 2004

Reuters photos of the year for 2004 are up at Yahoo/Reuters. Some really good ones but it's interesting to see the MSM bias. The photos of Bush make him look less than Presidential, the photos of Kerry are flattering. Any photo from Iraq or Afghanistan is of bombed areas or people being loaded into ambulances or aid cars. I have seen lots of photos of happy Iraqi people -- kids and adults but none of them made it into this collection. The Israeli photos are uniformly against Israel (no photos of the palestinian atrocities and bombings) and the Palestinian photos are favorable or targeted to elicit a sympathetic reaction (kid riding his donkey near the wall) Hat tip to DGCI My favorite:
