I can never understand why magazines and newspapers do this. Do they really think, in this day and age of the web and incredible news scrutiny and an increasingly media and tech-savvy public, that no one would find out? Just looking at the two photos of Katie Couric, you can tell that one has been airbrushed. They made her thinner, the coloring is different, and even the dress looks a little different (though that last one might just be the quality of the photos I've seen). Touch up is one thing. That happens to photos every day. This goes a bit further.

Reminds me of the time that TV Guide had Oprah Winfrey's head on a pic of Raquel Welch's Ann-Margaret's body. Yeah, like people wouldn't notice that.
