@brithume @bmcsmith92 NYT needs to "check its privilege". If Bill Clinton had been standing where GW was, he'd have been in the photo

@bmcsmith92 @JWGOP Again, why weren't they staged closer to each other?

@DHBerman @bmcsmith92 But doesn't answer the cropping question.

@JWGOP @DHBerman @bmcsmith92 It does kind of. The wider shot would be so blurry and illegible in print. They should've been closer together

Adam Goldstein added,

@A_H_Goldstein @JWGOP @DHBerman I shouldn't have used crop, but that is the point

@bmcsmith92 @JWGOP @DHBerman Is the first photo a Times photographer, or a different outlet/wire?

@A_H_Goldstein I'm going to have to get back to you. This tweet storm is causing my phone to freeze

@bmcsmith92 @JK_Porterfield All the retweets

@kayarbor @JK_Porterfield yes and my mentions are nuts

@bmcsmith92 @JK_Porterfield You're probably famous now so get used to it

@kayarbor @JK_Porterfield haha oh well. It's not about me though, it's about the story

@bmcsmith92 @JK_Porterfield Lol I was joking but yes, it definitely is. Another bending of reality to fit a political agenda.

@kayarbor @JK_Porterfield per usual. When are you coming to DC?

@bmcsmith92 @JK_Porterfield Looking at several days around memorial day weekend

@bmcsmith92 smh
