In an interesting turn, two young woman who’s photos were altered to look like Michelle Malkin are trying to get several popular websites to publish retractions, or at least take down the photos. Not surprisingly, at least to me, they’re not having any luck.

Michelle Malkin: College student slams Gawker Media

Those images were falsely publicized last week by UNC School of Law professor Eric Muller as authentic, and then picked up and broadcast widely by the Gawker Media smear machine. Last week, Ashley wrote both the Wonkette and Gawker editors informing them of how her photos were manipulated and requesting that they tell their readers what actually happened. Her requests, like mine, have been ignored.

If enough of us post about this, maybe we can help. By “us” of course I mean all of you with sites that people actually read.
