Can you come up with a better headline for this image than Fox News?
By Alex Hern Published 09 October 2012 16:19
Fox News has a story today genuinely headlined "AP publishes unflattering pic of Romney bending over".
The piece goes on to ask:
So was it a cheap shot?
Tim Graham, media analysis director at the Media Research Center, says absolutely.
"It's unbelievable," he wrote. "It honestly looks like a little girl is gaping at Romney from behind."
It seems like they missed a trick with running it with such a staid headline, though. Has anyone got any better ideas?
