Biased AP Picture?
The title is a question because I have no real education or experience analyzing photographs, and I know nothing about Phil McCarten.
The picture makes it look like there are only 48 boots, which represent our soldiers killed in Iraq. The picture goes out of its way to show there are no more rows to the bottom, left, or top, but on the right where there are most likely hundreds more rows it's cut off close to the last row of boots.
Here's a photo from the "Eyes Wide Open" website.
I'm not saying this photagrapher is a Jeff Gannon, or that there is some conspiracy going on, I'm just writing about what I thought when I was flipping through Yahoo photos.
