Slimming Down on a Digital Diet

Someone in the CBS photo department “got a little zealous” when digitally doctoring the photo of Katie Couric to take off 20 lbs–unbeknownst to Katie, or the rest of the mucky mucks at CBS. Seems we hold different standards for journalists than for actresses and the like as airbrushing and slimming occurs on a regular basis to such aging beauties as Sharon Stone and Melanie Griffith etc. Should there be the same standard in images for truthtelling that we hold for words? I think so.
