Politically correct photography...

Marvel at the skill exhibited by Red Star photographer Renee (French?) Jones in the 4/28/05 edition, front page and the continuation on page 13 in the Metro Edition. The article in question is titled "Drugs and Gangs, On patrol in the North Side, State strike force drops its net". There is one large and one small photo of criminal perps being searched to accompany the article, yet the photographer and editor have managed to avoid showing any skin whatsoever. Hmmm. Not just obscured faces, but obscured skin! Surely this is not an accident? We really don't care what the skin color is, but isn't this just plain silly? Are you, Red Star, practicing social engineering? Isn't it obvious?
