It is not just a liberal tactic, however as evidenced by Conservapedia's pages on prominent liberals such as Sen. [[Hillary Clinton]]'s. Compared to other 2008 Presidential candidates such as Gov. [[Mitt Romney]] and Sen. [[John McCain]], Clinton's photos are universally negative. Also, compared with [[Bill O'Reilly]]'s Conservapedia page, [[Keith Olbermann]], [[Stephen Colbert]] and [[Jon Stewart]] all have unflattering pictures associated with them. O'Reilly's photo is an official photo from his television show.

Photo bias is a common liberal tactic of using an unflattering or menacing photo of a supporter of a conservative position to create a hostile impression in the reader.

Examples include:

  • Time magazine's cover photo of Ann Coulter, designed to make her look like a childish fool
  • The New York Times's photo (June 10, 2007) of a man with missing teeth to represent opponents of the pending federal immigration bill
