Yahoo!Finance Posts Unflattering Photo of Yellen
Check out the unflattering photo of Fed Chair nominee Janet Yellen that Yahoo!Finance photo editors put up this morning here is a screen capture below:
The photo captures her in a split second perhaps blinking her eyes but provides an image where she looks shocked or scared or something.
This photo is far from flattering of this woman.
There is some sort of sexism at work here against this Fed Chair candidate at Yahoo!Finance. Mike has commented on this previously here.
This unflattering photo is presented in contrast to (you can see from the headlines in the capture) what we are supposed to believe is expert commentary by the out of paradigm David Stockman challenging Yellen's judgement.
Yahoo!Finance seems to be devolving into some sort of unprofessional, sexist, rogue operation.

Yahoo's readership has always skewed right. Their comment section is notorious around the Internet for being a cesspool of reactionary and, let's say, inelegant, fiscal and social conservatism. They're just giving their readers what they want.
Why do you say that photo of Janet Yellen is not flattering? Looks like one of her better photos to me.
