Wait, since when did newsweek ever do an amazing job at cropping?
Also, its at the editors discretion. Taking Cheney's statement, placing it on a picture of him stabbing a piece of meat, of something that CLEARLY looks like hes about to eat, or prep a plate, of course its going to look biased. The editor is not an idiot. (or maybe, who knows)
As far as the photographer goes, He got paid for his job, and he should walk away. On his contract it probably states that his photograph can be cropped and used to the publications discretion. The public should become aware of this, but most aren't educated in the matter.
Why I like Magnum's approach to their photography, because if it ever used in print, it has to be printed Full Frame, (no cropping) and Credit given.
