It's proved impossible for me to get this shot of former Philadelphia Police Cpt. Ray Lewis being arrested, published anywhere. I was adamantly rebuffed by the Philadelphia Inquirer, NYT, local NY papers, and Newsweek, before even looking at the photograph. One of the only published photos of this paradoxical and intense event is located here at the NYC Observer: http://www.observer.com/2011/1...

If you had any reason to doubt that the media fix was in after this morning's NYC media shitshow Fail Parade, this should take care of that. This photo, no matter what your politics, is serious Pulitzer bait. Legacy news orgs fucking love Pulitzers.
But they won't touch this photograph.
Speaks volumes. TODAY is day one. It always is.
