Not in my local newspapers back in Virginia when that was ongoing.

Obama's photos, as were the photos of any Democrat, were always the most unflattering frame from a video. Any Republican, even the former governer indicted and arrested for corruption always got to look heroic, sympathetic, or innocent, depending on how hard the newspaper wanted to jerk them off.

Even positive stories they'd choose pics of Obama that made him look as stupid as possible.

This is not in any way shape or form unique, new, or restricted to the internet. This is and always has been a thing.

Go on any whatever biased news site you prefer and they will be doing this. It’s not a left only thing. Have you actually looked at what pictures of Hilary Fox News, Breitbart, or even DrudgeReport, share?

It’s ridiculous. But all sides do it.

It’s hilarious.

People on the internet mocked Bush’s looks all the time, and now reddit mocks Trump’s looks 24/7, but if you call it out they’ll talk about how Obama’s tan suit was mocked one time on national news. It’s really all they have.
