[edit]

The image is a very low resolution scan of one half of the front page of the New York Times the day after the Saturday Night Massacre. The scan cannot diminish the NYT's exploitation of its copyright because the text cannot be read (adide from headlines, which are not copyrighted) and the photos are not commercial grade. The use of the scan is to show the dramatic impact of the dismissal (the size and placement of the Time's headlines) as well as the timing of the event during a tense US-Soviet confrontation during a crisis in the Middle East. No other photo or illustration can show these two points. AnthroMimus (talk) 15:48, 15 March 2016 (UTC)
