There are less sophistocated forms too, like printing a photo that depicts, for instance, a politician in a less-than-appropriate-looking snapshot. We're all familiar with this one, for instance:
and we've used it to high-larity many times. God only knows where the original came from (if you know, please tell me!), but whoever did it first was pure. stinkin'. genius.
But when you can put the great headline with the great (aka funny) photo, you can make photo-bias magic. Talking Points Memo's people effing HAVE THIS SHIT DOWN:
"zzzzzz... Oh, yeah--it's grave. It's a grave threat. Yeah, be afraid. Give us money. I'm seriouszzzzzzzz...."
Pure.
Stinkin'.
Genius.
UPDATE! And as if to give us a curtain call, TPM hits another one out of the park by posting this one only seconds later:

Typical lefty internets rags, using one of the few things the rubes understand, purty pictures, to undermine Murkan society by avoiding speaking about the Grave Threats® of the day.
Condescending elitists.
Hahahahahaha- that is so great.
Randal--good one. But I don't know that she knows that many big words.
Fran--hee hee hee
That's the actual photo of Palin "telling the Congress 'thanks, but no thanks' on that Bridge to Nowhere". See, she did it with kind of a Rebel without a Cause sneer, all maverick-y and whatnot. (God, I CRACK MYSELF UP).
I posted that one twice for some reason. I hate when I do that.
There's nothing like a good picture to illustrate the heart of the subject.
