australian press self-inflicted wound not noticed

The photo is called obama_phone_photo_opp_upside_down_536522269.jpg. So they knew what they were publishing.

The photo is a picture of Obama on the phone used to illustrate a story about Obama making a phone call. No need to get all airiated about it.

I think I saw this a while back somewhere! Yeh, he needs a handler to hand him the phone. Pretty funny and a good example of how incompetent and unqualified he is! How could they allow him to be photographed like that? hehehe!

It appears that Roy is a little too sensitive. He should go back to school to learn to spell. This was funny! Thanks!

I"m not, um, 'airiated', whatever that means.

I"m amused and saddened. It's pathetic.

Whatever the title of the jpg file is, somebody obviously doesn't pay any attention. They published it as if it were an actual pic of the moment Obama called the PM of India. The caption tells you they specifically were trying to present it this way. It's a serious story with no hint that the pic is not what they represent it to be. But look at it and you crack up. Get airiated, whatever.

This is a press that constantly tells us (especially the STATE press, as in ABC down under and BBC across the pond) they know everything, all we need to do is listen to them and we'll know what to think about everything.

This is an embarrassment to them which I thoroughly enjoy, but the embarrassment to YOU for dismissing this is not quite as much fun, just sad.
