Hillary Clinton Photoshopped Out Of Situation Room Photo

We write about Photoshop ridiculousness all the time, but this instance is a little different. A orthodox Hasidic newspaper called Der Tzitung has wiped Secy. of State Hillary Clinton and Counterterrorism Director Audrey Tomason out of the now-famous photo of US government officials watching the raid on Osama bin Laden‘s Pakistani compound, following its editorial policy never to print pictures of women.

Jezebel reports that Der Tzitung doesn’t put pictures of ladies in its pages because they could be considered sexually suggestive. But we don’t know what could be less sexy than the concern on the face of a cabinet member watching one of the most important military maneuvers in recent history go down live. Still, that consideration didn’t occur to the photo editors at Der Tzitung, who smudged Clinton right out of the history books.

We guess to be completely fair, we can’t say that we’ve read the coordinating story, so we don’t know if there’s a disclaimer in there that says, “This photo has been altered to fit our editorial policy by removing Hillary Clinton and Audrey Tomason in the original photo.” But even it did, it’d still be a crap move, and certainly more offensive than any hip augmentation or leg slimming on a fashion model that we’ve ever seen.

Take a look at the original (and unedited) photo below, and the way it showed up in Der Tzitung.

    Actually they photoshoped both women out of the photo, must be a woman thing and not a Hillary thing.

    Mrs Clinton sexually suggestive? Suggestive of what? Do these guys have that low a threshhold of excitement, or are they just hard up?

  • Barack Must Go

    Hey, if that’s truly their policy then why is Barack still in the photo ?

  • anonymous

    can mediaite be any more ignorant or irrelevant? this is a religious belief you are knocking, and they are not eliminating women for any other reason. why don’t you spend your ghastly op-ed time blasting someone/something worthy. fyi, you’re close to trumping “daily beast” as lowest common denominator. oh how i loved dan abrams. how far from grace he has fallen with this garbage.

  • Anonymous

    send me a picture of your Wife you ignorant f**k!!!! If she with an ignorant fool like you she much look like crap….

  • Cynthia C. M.

    They’re taking the rule of “a lady’s picture is in the paper three times: when she’s born, when she marries and when she dies” a little too far on this one.

  • Anonymous

    So their mythological beliefs are an excuse to alter the facts?

  • Dougx

    Hillary is a married woman so they are also showing respect for the husband by not drooling over a picture of the married woman.

    I wonder if the defenses I’m seeing would be the same were it a fundamentalist christian paper.

  • http://profiles.google.com/deflep116 Kimberly Wright

    Wow. Just wow.

  • double_j

    guess you only look at the pictures rather than reading.

  • Troyone

    I do NOT think this is true! Look at the photo a lot closer
    and look at the other people in the room. There is a lady in the back that is
    missing in the 2nd photo and on the bottom left of the 2nd photo, there is more
    of the guy in the frame. Top right looks like a different guy in the 2nd photo
    from the 1st. This means that they took more than one photo and some people
    moved around or left for the other photo and the paper used this one.

  • lo

    jews are sexist

  • Blarfo

    Hillary is 100 times more woman than you could ever handle. She is a Goddess.

  • Kenichi

    So let me get this straight, these idiots have no use for a woman
    unless she’s on the other side of a sheet with a hole it…fine, stop
    having sex, and let your selective phobia of women die out with you.

  • Anonymous

    Isn’t it compelling to know that a journal will resort to dubious photo shopping tricks in order to reinforce a preferred truth. So now you know it’s just not just fashion journals who do it, but also religious extremist journals too- who want to make sure you have the correct idea of what a woman is all about. Now that’s what I like to call journalism of the highest caliber.

    Oh i figure you’re a former hasid turned rebel, great, keep venting.

  • emcee

    they missed janet napolitano. she’s clearly in the picture. my guess is that it’s b/c she doesn’t look like a “woman”….

  • emcee

    learn to spell please. also, quit SHOUTING!!!!!!

  • Alan

    where?

  • lo

    your not funny

  • JJ

    thanks for clearing that up. i forgot that religion was exempt from scrutiny, unlike reality.

  • Guest

    I really don’t see anything wrong with knocking religious beliefs that are sexist, racist, or homophobic. Fucked up is fucked up. I don’t care what your religion is. Do you give a pass to the Westboro Baptist Cult?

    I doubt it.

    This is one of the most historical moments in the past 10 years and these idiots think that they have a right to rewrite it based on their bullshit
    religion
    .

    And before someone accuses me of being anti-s
    emitic
    , ALL religions are bullshit!

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_7R4TRYXT5A6VGA5RWSMBXLP7RY G

    Maybe the govt. photoshopped Clinton in.

  • thirteen

    No one’s under any obligation to respect all religious beliefs, particularly one that’s so clearly anti-woman. Further, this publication had the option not to run the picture, to black out the parts it didn’t like, or to crop it on Obama and the four other gentlemen to the left. Instead, this “news” paper ran an outright lie — and publishing lies is against *my* religion. Now how about respecting that?

  • http://profiles.google.com/deflep116 Kimberly Wright

    Wow that was painful to read. I have no beef with Jews or Muslims overall (although I reserved the right to have a beef with individuals within each faith. Like people who stone other people to death for example) but there are many things that make me happy I’m a Christian where (at least in my faith) women are revered and respected.

  • commonsense

    ya and everyone single other individual in the picture just happens to have an identical position, posture, expression, etc. as when hillary and Tomason “stepped out”?

    Are you looking at these photos with your eyes? Because I find it hard to believe that someone who has looked at the photos with even a passing glance let alone serious scrutiny could make such a blatantly asinine statement. Do us all a favor and stay off the internet.

  • emarie

    women with big hips and blond hair and POWER, are always sexy! @ RALPH

    and they say the bible is accurate..

  • newswatch

    The second “lady” is our Counterterrorism Director. And “the guy” on the bottom left is our Vice President…

  • Dr. Drop Dead

    So is a cow pie when thrown in the face of a Republican, very accurate.

    You know American Evangelicals are just salivating over the thought of being able to be that brazen in America. Instead of sneaking around and slowly rewriting history in Texas school book, they could just burn them all and write their own!

    seriously? You don’t think it’s relevant? I do. I like to know which religions are still horrificly sexist so when I meet women who are being subjugated I can urge them towards freedom…..

    Sexuality? Goddess? Well, I suppose she would be a “goddess” on the Island of Lesbos, but I’ve never met a man who was attracted to her or could identify anything attractive about her. As First Lady, she solicited homosexual “sex toys” with which she decorated the White House Christmas Tree. Just curious, are you male or female?

    That cow pie would be just as accurate if thrown in the face of a Democrat.

    Even when Hillary is at her sexiest she is still not sexy. Religious extremism gone too far!

  • southsidemike

    that is why we cannot allow the religious right(of any country) to take over government

    And yet, we should take this paper serious when they claim to be giving facts on Israel?

    Am I the only one who finds it curious that similarity among many of the Abrahamic faiths when it comes to women? None of them truly treat women as equal people. They either shove them into nunneries, make them sit in special places, and wear and do different things than men.

    Somewhere in the psychology of the Middle Eastern desert is the reason for this, and it jars against the modern ideal of equality among all. You can’t truly argue that separate is better, because these separations among people and between people of different faiths has caused singular catastrophe, tragedy, and unimaginable human horror.

    Yet no one fights wars once equal. Funny, that.

  • Mindofkat

    The spirit of that “Sick religion” is alive and well in ALL fundementalism.

    That one woman in the back looks like she was Shopped in, in the first place.

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1592989620 Sue Charles

    . The lighting is different on almost every person. The lighting on Hillary is entirely different from the men on either side of her. It is coming from a different angle than it is on the two men. Then, the lighting on the guy in the blue shirt in the back (with the woman looking out from behind his left shoulder) is completely different than anyone else in the room. They must have had a spotlight focused directly on him, to be that brightly lit with nobody else in the room getting any of the spillover lighting.   

    Another thing.. Is the “Situation Room” actually so small that it can seat only 6 people? Those folks are crammed in there like it was a tiny office meant for one desk and a filing cabinet.

    And my third point: I’ll bet you a full tank of gas for your beat up Chevy pickup that what they were watching had NOTHING to do with the Bin Laden “capture”. Bin Laden was GONE long before that particular day and that posed photo. They were probably rivited to one of the final episodes of Bachelorette.
