Whatever happened to objective journalism? Here is Mr Glinn, arguably one of Magnum's most celebrated members, holding up a combat rifle. Did he use it to shoot somebody? This is the most shameful image of a photo journalist being co-opted by communists I have ever seen and MIM glorifies him for it. Shame on Mr Glinn and shame on Magnum.
