Gizmodo’s original review of Band 2 was itself terrible filled with a lot of bogus complaints that could be leveled at any fitness tracker/smart watch. Band 2 was a great device that was by the reviewer’s own judgment easy to use and great as a fitness tracker. But since it was made by Microsoft and not Apple every…

You know who else was widely regarded as a teetotaler and was famous for his ability to operate on very little sleep but in actuality was hopped up on doctor prescribed opiates/narcotics most of the time while condemning others for their drug use?

WTF is even the point of that Tweet? Why would anyone think that’s worthy of capturing and sharing with the world?

We are not screwing around, Philly.

Ahhh..yup. God that’s gonna be a shit-show.

How many events are the athletes actually swimming in this water though? I was under the impression that swimming events were done in natatoriums not in the open water. I understand with boating events it’s going to be difficult to not at least come into external contact with the water which is problematic enough, but…

That’s the spirit! When you can’t win an argument based on the merits of your position, throw out the name-calling! Even though you’ve proven yourself unsuited to having a rational discussion based on facts, I promise that I won’t mentally chalk it up to your hormones or it being that time of the month or even use…

I have looked high and low for some mention of Hillary actually appearing at the convention on the night of the roll-call and can find ZERO references to it. Please. Please. I’m begging you — send me a link or a picture from an actual news outlet (the posts of other ill-informed Jezebel commenters don’t count) stating…

You are factually incorrect. Obama made a surprise appearance at the end of the night of his roll call vote (August 27, 2008) which is why some newspapers were able to run a photo of him with headlines similar to “Obama Wins Nomination”.

Believe it or not I actually do see both sides. But if I look at the bigger picture (pun intended) from a newspaper editor’s point of view — if I don’t have a good picture of the candidate from the event and I know I’m only going to realistically have one shot at an iconic front page, do I try to shoehorn something in…

I think you made a very valid point. I would agree that there were probably better ways to thread the needle in this case, but I would attribute the choice to a combination of printing deadlines and more visually striking images to choose from (a lone figure standing before a crowd vs a crowd shot - especially when…

What pictures are you looking at? Care to provide links?

That was when he mathematically won based on the primaries; however, he didn’t “officially” get the nomination until the convention which was Aug 27. That is the analogous event here.

I suspect that you have started to research this and realize how badly reality fails to support with your preconceived notion of a sexist plot, so I’ll help you out:

Fail. Who is “they”? If “they” used stock photos should be pretty easy to tell me who did this? And did “they” use a stock photo as their main image?

Yes, stock photos exist. Yes, newspapers use them. But not for above the fold, main stories for which a photo exists of the event or story in question. If you insist on saying that is common journalistic practice, I’d like for you to point me to just one similar instance of this occurring after a nomination has become…

Got it. So because I have not lived your exact experience, I can offer no meaningful commentary on your reaction to objective events - such as newspapers choosing to run actual pictures taken at an event in an effort to portray as realistically as possible for readers the activities that occurred during that event…

Again, how often has a stock photo been used to announce that a candidate’s nomination has become official after a floor vote on the front page of major newspapers?

This is no more your experience than it is mine. Or have you also been nominated for president of the United States before and had your husband give a speech to mark the occasion which newspapers then took pictures of?

SHE. WASN’T. THERE. That is not the newspapers’ fault. Or did all of the male editors and reporters across the land engage in some sort of elaborate Oceans 11 heist to delay and distract her from reaching the floor in time? It is her campaign’s responsibility, not the newspaper editors, to set the optics for her…
