Slander by photograph?

A newspaper photograph of a political figure is less an image of the politician than it is of the editor's political prejudices.
That said, the picture below is a truly alarming one. (Yes, that maniacal face actually belongs to the Commander in Chief; I had to check the caption to make sure.) Either someone at AP really and truly hates the President, or GWB has really and truly started to lose it.
Or, of course, both.
