Perfect example of the Streisand Effect. I would never have seen this photo if it weren't for this article.

Transgender???!?1!1!2?!
Oh no, her true normal human appearance.
This incident will accelerate her case of Mar-a-Lago Face.
I never would've seen this photo if they hadn't mentioned they were upset with it.
I can see why they are upset, she's out of focus there on the left.
the agency was “made aware” that the White House did not like the photo, but stressed that the decision to remove the image was “an internal editorial one, based on our standard quality and selection criteria” and that there was no external pressure.
For what it's worth, as an amateur photographer I agree. It's a very weird image of Karoline Leavitt towering over a turkey and—as the oblique angle suggests—threateningly.
Press photography does not need to be flattering. It can also be framed to tell a story.
an incredibly bizarre story that isn't true, unless leavitt is that long-foretold slayer of the cuccoo
I'm pleased to see an honest assessment from someone in the business.
lol i'm not a professional guy either i'm just an enthusiast who learns things but thanks!
... Isn't the turkey at the White House Thanksgiving dinner... ceremonially pardoned?
Like its kind of an ongoing joke?
I mean, I would not put it past these people to kill it, just because they can, but... eh ...?
Anyway yes its very stupid to get mad over a somewhat unflattering photo.
Almost no one looks good from this kind of angle, and... anyone who knows anything about photography would know that, and thus not really care that much?
Its a goofy picture.
I guess the White House is the no fun allowed zone.
sigh
i wonder how many "fun" pictures the AFP does have
I would have never seen this picture if not for this, and my life would have been measurably better.
Because tRump only likes hot blondes with tight little bodies and she knows this
Isn't she pregnant? All the photos are about to get a lot less flattering.
Another piggy that should stay quiet.
What meltdown? All I read is that some made the whitehouse aware the photo was unflattering.
Oh yeah, I can see how unflattering that photo is. That turkey looks more fuckable than her.
Be honest...nothing could ever really make her fuckable for a man with any sort of taste. The devil himself would do a hard pass on that ass. Source: I am Satan.
