Notes On BagNewsNotes

by digby

People keep saying that I have to remove the jarring picture of Hillary in the BagNewsNotes ad on the left. The answer is no. The ad is for a site that deconstructs media images. That picture appeared in the Village Voice this week accompanying an article about MSNBC’s coverage of the Clinton campaign. BagNews asks all kinds of important questions about what that image means in the context of the article and the gut reaction it evokes in people who see it. Click the link and you’ll see.

Images are more powerful than words in this culture and nobody but Michael Shaw and his photographers and contributors bother to talk about it. I’m proud that he is a sponsor of this blog and I will continue to support the unique mission he has undertaken in the blogosphere.

I find it very interesting that so many people are disturbed by the image. Perhaps you would like to discuss that in the comments to this post. I’d like to hear it and I would imagine Michael would enjoy getting feedback too. That’s what he does.
