Seeing Is Believing...

Unless the media is trying to make a point...

FORT DODGE, Iowa — "An Iowa community college president resigned less than a week after a photo was published appearing to show him pouring beer into a young woman's mouth."

No, it does not, but lets continue...

"The photo, which was published Saturday in The Des Moines Register, shows Paxton with a group of young people on a boat. He is holding a small keg above a young woman's head. The Register said the photo was taken over the Fourth of July weekend at Lake Okoboji and sent to the paper unsolicited."

No again. The young lady is holding the keg with help from another woman. Dr. Paxton is reaching to hold closed her nostrils as she chugs, a common enough plea when one is trying to guzzle a prodigious amount of beer. The story is merely an example of how the Yellowstream Media can prevaricate right before our very eyes. I don't know Paxton from Adam, but he isn't holding the keg, nor pouring the beer. Not in this picture. My guess is he's either a Republican or someone the press doesn't like very much.
