De Voch 'Apologizes' For Photoshopped Picture

Avoiding pictures of women in our paper is in no way representing an ideology or race inequality, it is following the guidelines of our publication to avoid pictures of women in our magazine. We do apologize to the affected persons who may have felt offended; it was unintentional.

 

De Voch issued the following 'apology' this afternoon to VIN:

In response to the controversy on the altered picture of Sec. of State Hillary Clinton in our weekly magazine De Voch:

We fully respect the President of the United States and his entire Staff, regardless of their gender.

In times when slander, gossip and immodesty dominate coverage in many publications, we, following our modesty rules, try reporting Rabbinical and worldly events in the most proper and unbiased manner.

Avoiding pictures of women in our paper is in no way representing an ideology or race inequality, it is following the guidelines of our publication to avoid pictures of women in our magazine.

We do apologize to the affected persons who may have felt offended; it was unintentional.

Those who brought this into the spotlight citing racial reasons, is totally absurd! It was we (the Orthodox newspapers and publications) that are credited for much of Clinton’s Orthodox coverage in the primary elections. It was altered for the one and only reason; our rules of modesty not to publish pictures of women, regardless of their stature or modesty.

so what is better to delete pictures like the satmers or to publish pictures like you will see if you go to :http://www.crownheights.info/index.php?itemid=34496

Yankel, do you have a problem with the Chabad photos?

The wonderful things Chabad accomplished at that event speak for themselves. And G-d bless that family who donated the Torah.

If you have a mental problem looking at those photos, you need to see a psychiatrist, and make sure he gives you the extra-strength dose of Thorazine.

I don't always agree with everything on crownheights.info, but at least they don't practice the 'no women' insanity.

Honestly, WSC, it would be easier just to wall off Williamsburg, Boro Park and Crown Heights and declare it a psychiatric facility. Do you remember the episode of Seinfeld in which Jerry tells his parents, "You could put up a wall around this development and call it a mental hospital; no one would know the difference!"?

Their entire subculture is insane.

[WoolSilkCotton]

Jeff, that is a good idea!

[seymour]

this whole issue is insane my family and many others have pictures from Hungary and wherever they came from and the pictures included the woman

[Aviv Manuel]

Well, at least you folks are not picking on Chabad this time :)

[Loshon Hora]

Another Hungarian ganev imbocile tabloid, that if they wouldn't ban internet they would have no business.

Of course it's intentional. They're more afraid of the rabbonim or Hashem punishing them than what they goyim think.

[alwaysright]

the point they are failing to make, is why do the laws of modesty prohibit them from publishing photos of women? what does their religion have against women?

Another viewpoint on the photoshopped Hillary controversy:

another occasion to be bashed by GOYIM for the lunacy of some of the holy sects , very holey, of judahism.
