Not law - "You can tell how a female politician is faring by looking at the photographs of her in print media"
Interesting op-ed piece in Politico. The author, Martin Frost, concludes:
The story about female public figures and photos is not new, unfortunately. About 40 years ago, I clerked for a terrific federal judge, Sarah Hughes, who was 74 at the time. She often complained when The Dallas Morning News ran unflattering photos of her.This went on for a while. One day I went down to the paper’s photo morgue — where a publication’s pictures were kept on file — and I took some of the offending photos. This was before digital photographs — so once a picture was gone, it was really gone.
Keep your eye on the Bachmann photos that run in newspapers and magazines over the next weeks and months. You’ll know when she starts to slide.
