Can anyone think of an instance where the leftist media “accidently” published a picture like this with a Democrat politician?

At a Second Amendment event in Iowa this weekend, the Associated Press published a series of pictures showing a gun pointing at the head of Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX).  The event was the “Celebrate the Second Amendment” in Johnston, Iowa.

After social media lit-up over the pictures, the AP released this statement:

“Presidential candidate Ted Cruz was shown in a series of 14 photos taken by an Associated Press photographer at a ‘Celebrate the 2nd Amendment’ event Saturday afternoon, held at a shooting range in Johnston, Iowa,” the statement said. “Five of the photos published by AP included images of guns seen on a wall in the background so that it appeared a pistol was pointed at Sen. Cruz’s head.”

“The images were not intended to portray Sen. Cruz in a negative light,” the statement added.

The media has a double standard on gun related imagery. Accusations were quick to come following the shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, including speculation that Sarah Palin’s group SarahPAC may have been to blame for using “crosshairs” on her website to show “targeted” districts for political races.
