They *did* get castigated for the Steinberg and Reddcliffe photo alterations, at least across the lefty blogosphere, as well as politically neutral blogs like Editor and Publisher (and PhotoShop News!); and it was reported by UPI. Drudge reported it too. Don't know if the NY Times ever deigned to dignify it by commenting in the paper (the two were Times reporters who had done a negative story on Fox), but the Times did comment to UPI. I thought I remembered that Fox eventually apologized, but I can't find any reference to this on Google. I don't think the Ventura photo even comes close to what Fox did in this case. So far, I haven't seen the Ventura thing picked up anywhere on the blogs, nor have I seen any comment from Ventura. So I'm dubious that it was intentional; I think, as I said, that they used a preliminary mockup of the cover, not realizing the final cover was different.
