US President Barack Obama's photoshopped picture in swimming trunks and sunshades to be on the cover of the May issue of the Washingtonian magazine caused a furore among its readers with over a thousand phone calls, emails and Internet comments. Susan Moller, a professor of journalism in Maryland says the original photo taken in November in Hawaii was edited: "The original has Obama wearing black trunks", she said. The new Washingtonian cover features Obama in red trunks on the black background. The Washingtonian journalist Garret Graff insists the editors did not manipulate with the picture contrary to the statements of Moller and hundreds of her supporters.
