Take on a poor choice of accompanying photo

I'm a bit of a politician junkie and can easily be baited to click any article discussing the dysfunction of the GOP or the sheer ineptitude of the Democrats, so it wasn't shocking to anybody when I clicked on an article from the Times yesterday that said "Online Ad for Jeb Bush Paints Dark Picture of Donald Trump"

What was shocking was the accompanying photo which showed a black couple standing in front of a house, an interesting tableau when calling Jeb out for painting a "dark picture".
I am not even sure what the article was about but the headline along with the photo certainly sounded like it was trying to show that Jeb Bush was making Donald Trump out to be a black man living in some 1500 square foot dump in suburban hell...and really that isn't nice because we all know The Donald wouldn't be caught dead in some prefab hellhole like this

Gee, a Republican ad that is inadvertently racist. Golly, we've never witnessed that one before.
