Photogate Continues

Cubune Watcher Brian Dykes, himself a photographer, collected these latest examples, showing the Tribune enhancing color in its photos of the Cubs — look at the vibrancy of that Cubbie blue, which today's Tribune claims is the color of Michael Barrett's blood — and diminishing the vibrancy of its photos of the White Sox. For today's example, Brian selected AP photos published in both the Tribune and YahooSports.com. In fact, photos of the White Sox appear properly exposed in every online publication we have checked so far, except the Tribune, where they look underexposed. See for yourselves. Why would they do this? Who would you rather buy tickets to see? Those bright blue Cubbies on bright green grass, or those pale gray White Sox on sort of yellow grass? And remember, a little money from every Cubs ticket goes into the pockets of Tribune journalists.
