Post Scolds The Globe For Tellling Whole Story

According to the Washington Post, pictures are required to tell the whole story, which is why the Post barrages us with pictures of prisoner abuse from Abu Ghraib prison. It doesn't matter that the few people involved are an aberration among the valient who are doing a magnificent job.

But now the Post is scolding the Boston Globe, and the Globe is second guessing itself, for running a picture of thoroughly bored Boston College students sleeping through Tim Russert's commencement address.

"I do think it's regrettable that we ran that photo and I think it's not the appropriate photo to select.

"Typically at any graduation there are going to be kids who fall asleep, and as amusing a photo it might have been, it was inappropriately placed and inappropriately used."

The 11th commandment, at least in DC, though shalt not offend Timmy Russert's vanity.
