The Wire (formerly The Atlantic Wire) is billed as “a socially powered news source” whose motto is “What Matters Now.” IOW, it is not a satire site and the screenshot below is not a photoshop. I checked The Wire myself. Twelve hours after the flesh-eating bacteria story was uploaded, the Obama photo was still illustrating it.
I’m really curious what motivated this choice. Somebody get his health insurance cancelled maybe?
