Wild-eyed Bachmann: Newsmax.com's perfected unflattering shots

Link to Slate.com blogger's view re Newsweek magazine's laughably unflattering cover photo of Michele Bachmann: (link, new window)  http://www.slate.com/blogs/xx_factor/2011/08/08/is_newsweek_s_michele_bachmann_cover_sexist_.html?GT1=38001


To this WWW user, it seems like about every third web page or so has a 'Newsmax.com' advertisement prominently displayed on it. (I know I'm not alone with this...) The conservative website appears to try its level best to portray Democratic leaders (usually) in a harshly unfavorable manner -- via its largely unobjective/fake polls, questions, etc. (on such ads).

Just two recent examples:

Of course much is in the "eye" of the beholder......But I believe many would acknowledge that neither of the newsmax.com photos above are (anywhere near) flattering. 
This conservative "news" org. (which is widely read - if briefly) has been liberally distributing such web ads. for several years ....

None of the (photo) antics are constructive.
