This stuff still gives me a little tingle. You probably have to be a certain age. I doubt the young today would give it a second glance, even after learning that falling panties was a theme of this guy’s work. I reduced the height of the pix to make her a little porkier. She’s more up to date that way. Surely you’ve noticed the trend.

James Lileks: "Maybe I’m old-school, but ‘President fires CEO’ looks as wrong as ‘Pope fires Missile.’ Does not compute."

UPDATE: Baldilocks has an interesting take. But leaves out the question of whether the GM logo will become an O. You know, for Obama Motors. First, though, he’ll have to get his own staff to trade "up."

Well, maybe they did back in the days of green eyeshades. I can remember a lot of uncorrected mistakes in the ’80s and ’90s. They certainly don’t hasten to balance their obvious bias anymore. Like most of the nation’s newsrooms, AP is staffed by liberals who vote Democrat. How could they not be when the journalism schools are liberal and a journalism degree has become the entry requirement?
Fox’s Hannity says Big Media’s obvious Barry-bias in the campaign just departed signified "the death of journalism," as in its credibility. But did it ever have any? Journalists have long been even less popular than lawyers. My old colleague Pantrypuff defends such partisan reporting as natural emotional involvement, but adds that newsrooms do not encourage innovation. They certainly don’t encourage political balance, either, despite pretending to be objective.

UPDATE: MSNBC, still in Barry’s bag. They can’t help themselves. It just comes bubbling out. And that’s why this media analyst thinks Big Media’s influence over presidential elections is over.
