Show Me the Creativity

Apparently, there is a shortage of photo journalists in the Middle East (or maybe newspaper editors in New York and DC). Both the Washington Post and the New York Times ran the same exact photo on their frontpages this morning. Don't get me wrong. It is a great shot of Palestinians crossing over the border into Egypt after knocking down a barrier. Still, the same photo on the frontpages of two of our country's most prestigious newspapers? How about a different angle? An aerial shot? Give me something unique (especially at a buck a pop for the NYT). Even that rag the Washington Times had a different view.
So maybe those conservatives are right about a liberal bias in the media. It's a bias for an Associated Press photographer named Kevin Frayer.

A couple of confessions:
1) This is the first time I have ever visited your blog...but it is awesome and I will now check regularly!
2) This next comment does not have anything to do with this post.
You clearly are a DC OUTSIDER- you have not said anything about the greatest team in the history of sports(ok, that might be a force so I'll change to the history of football) and their incompetent owner...what a mess.

Anyways, keep up the entertaining work!

PS- I just thought of you bc some guy came to the door endorsing Obama (in the snow!) Love it!
