NYT Corrections: NYT Mag cover photo of Mark Warner was altered

Editors' Note

The cover photograph in The Times Magazine on Sunday rendered colors incorrectly for the jacket, shirt and tie worn by Mark Warner, the former Virginia governor who is a possible candidate for the presidency. The jacket was charcoal, not maroon; the shirt was light blue, not pink; the tie was dark blue with stripes, not maroon.

The Times's policy rules out alteration of photographs that depict actual news scenes and, even in a contrived illustration, requires acknowledgment in a credit. In this case, the film that was used can cause colors to shift, and the processing altered them further; the change escaped notice because of a misunderstanding by the editors.

5. Fuck the NY Times

Jason Blair and the Plame deal show you that the NYT is not your friend. They are scumbags.

6. And his teeth were yellow and his eyes were red and he is really really

a black man, but it was just an error in our photo sensitive camera device eyes, not to be mistaken for an actual attempt to denigrate the man!

7. When I saw my NY Times magazine cover last Sunday

I nearly choked. That picture was so horrible. He looks like a used car salesman. OMG, if he runs for anything again, that pic will go on the opponents fundraising mail, "Would you buy a used car from this man?"

8. They did it to Kerry in 2004
