fake photo is indeed a new low in sleaze and dirty campaigning
note that the fake photograph did make its rounds from conservative website to website as ammunition against presidential candidate kerry. to find this kind of immaturity within the american electorate distress me. association with "hanoi" jane is apparently shameful and negative; considered enough to ruin a candidate. worse is that even people who weren't alive during the vietnam conflict and probably haven't even seen a jane fonda film, an exercise video, much less know anything about her political views then or now are some of those accepting the "concept" as badge of dishonour and giving it wings.
lies, damned lies and photography: «everyone knows the saying that the camera never lies. what is less well-known is that the man who coined the phrase almost a century ago, the great american documentary photographer lewis hine, added a rider: "while photographs may not lie, liars may photograph".»
