A Picture’s Worth a Thousand Lies (Tiger Won the Masters?)
Who won Sunday’s Masters golf tournament? Below is the cover of yesterday’s USA Today sports section. Judging by the photos and the attention they gave spoiled brat Tiger Woods, you’d think he won. Check out the tiny photo of Phil Mickelson, a mensch who won while his wife is fighting breast cancer juxtaposed with a GIANT one of Woods. You’d hardly know Mickelson was even playing the tournament based on the photos and disproportionate print given to Woods. And that’s the tragedy of it all. Despite a good guy winning, the press is still giving the lion’s share of blind puppy dog slobbering to Woods. So sad.
Slobber Over a Himbo: USA Today Gives Tiger Woods Photo Love, Disses Mickelson
Yes, I know the headline says Mickelson won, but we’re in a graphic world. People get impressions from photos, and they miss the headlines. This is why I get so upset when the mainstream media uses photos that are so anti-Israel to accompany stories. They know what they are doing. The photos tell the gullible readers the misleading story. Nobody pays attention to the words in print.

Tiger Woods puts in a boring performance, but he still gets the print. It appears that celebrity status trumps the actual game itself.
