McLean (October 26, 2005) – In its zeal for attacking the Busch administration on all possible fronts, USA TODAY has given up its basic journalistic and ethical standards by doctoring and manipulating a photo of Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, to make her look like a possessed Exorcist character. The doctored photo and the real photo are displayed above. The original photo can be found at Yahoo!España. This news was brought to light by From The Pen and quickly spread around the web by Michelle Malkin. Click there for more details. Update: Under the increasing pressure of the bloggers, USA TODAY has finally admitted the distortion and removed the doctored photo.
