The Picture is Mightier than the Pen

I refuse to post the infamous New Yorker Obama picture, because I think that is part of the problem that the image keeps getting broadcast ( even on liberal media outlets) every five minutes creating a false truth in the minds of some Americans. The cover was meant as a joke ( irony is so cool), one which I'm intellegent enough to get, but one that I don't think is funny. The New Yorker must have forgotten  that  there are what the pundits/press have been calling "low information" voters, who don't read the newspaper, or pay close attention to the campain and use "snipets", and what is presented on the news well as fact. Hell there are 13% of American's who still think Barack Obama is a Muslim ( and what if he was why does that matter). When is the media going to take some repsonsbility and understand that the image is mightier than the pen. For many what they see is what they get, that cover is all they need they won't even crack the New Yorker open to see a very good article. This goes to add to a great injustice that this on canidate has been seeing ...the media hasn't been doing a good job of seperating fact from fiction and in this type of historic campain it saddens me.
