Photoshop Job at Fox News

The job posting below is from http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,27906,00.html

As many of you know, Adobe Photoshop is software the visual effects industry uses for just about every image editing task under the sun. I've been following the news story wherein Fox News used the program to alter and distort the photographs of two New York Times reporters who wrote an article the network didn't like, specifically that Fox's ratings have been in a long slide. Editors at Fox News modified photos of the two journalists by making their teeth yellow, receding the hairline, putting dark cirles under the eyes, and generally attempting to make them appear ugly and untrustworthy to their viewers. We distort. You decide.

Judging from the photos, Fox News could use the help in the Photoshop department. The "impeccable news judgement" seems to be open to interpretation.
