1. I liked the part of the article that discussed cropping to give photographs a different angle then what it was supposed to be. Today, every picture we see is cropped and that cropping has developed into photoshopping, so the maker can make the picture exactly how they want it. But when does it stop? I remember about a year and a half ago a photoshopped image of a Ralph Lauren model where her head was so large, and her waste so skinny she looked as if she'd topple over. Where does manipulation of the consumer stop?
2. The other aspect of the article is of the headline of the photo. The idea that they are 'young' sheds a bad light on all youths. Also, the idea that they are bitter seems to come from the fact that they are black. So immediately this article is no longer objective, instead it sets up the article to make the black youth the enemy. I thought news was supposed to be unbiased and fair? If they are so mad, explain why, show both sides of the story.
