Bag’s Take-Away:
Have you noticed how substantially photos of (and phrases on) posters are now contributing to the political narrative? With DC in gridlock — and “spin lock” — and the media largely consumed with beltway talking points, photojournalism represents an open window. Case in point: a “one shot” street poll on the Jobs Act (and a rebuttal to the legislation’s blunt kicking aside on Tuesday).(photo: Tony Dejak/AP caption: Anne Caruso, a retired kindergarden teacher, protests Wednesday, Oct. 12, 2011, in Cleveland.)
