Have you ever noticed how the pictures are chosen to show who their preferred candidate is?

Can't do it every time, of course, but take a look at these two, from the BBC news:

Which candidate is shown with huge shadowed eye sockets, and a sweaty, over-exposed, glare on his forehead?

And here, they used an angle showing Romney with a microphone stand appearing to be a part of his mid-line.

You know they have zillions of pics they could use, but time after time, you'll see a real slant to their photo's.

You'd think the BBC at least, could do a much more even handed reporting job.
