Very interesting read from The Atlantic magazine regarding some controversy surrounding a recent Newsweek magazine cover image of Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin that was not retouched.

Again I am fascinated that retouching has become so ingrained in our culture that a major news magazine would be expected by some segment of the population to retouch its images. Of course the subject of the photo and the stakes of the game she is currently involved in have a lot to do with controversy.
