I don't know if anyone else has noticed the news photos of various politicians from both the left and right media. The left-wing media will show a picture of Hillary, Michelle Obama, AOC and others on the left and they look like someone's grandmother, girlfriend, sane, or respectable. When they show a picture of Trump or anyone else on the right they look insane, disrespectable or out of control. The rightwing media always mange to find the picture of Hillary screaming like a banshee, AOC looking like she has no clue what is going on, Michelle Obama looking like she's been up all night pissed about something, or Schiff looking like he's guilty of something. When they show the pictures of Trump, Barr, McConnell or others on the right they look poised, like statesmen, totally in control.
Unless somebody is doctoring the pictures, all of them had one of these looks at some point for some photographer to take that picture. I can tell what side of the political spectrum the story comes from just by looking at the picture. Makes you wonder how long they spend looking for just the right shot to fit their slant.

Yeah, they always show trump with that puckered mouth and the Democrat with an equally unflattering shot.

Schiff is guilty of something. Making him look that way is not difficult.

It's a propaganda war, both sides use it. Your just sharper than most.

YEP! I always notice that & find it quite amusing! I am quite sure that most large-scale media outfits employ some or a team just to find that perfect pic! A thing that irritates me is that they run the same video over & over & over au nauseam!

Another thing I have noticed is that they almost NEVER use a current shot, sometimes not even in video, to prove their points! Did you notice the recent spat of Trump pics that showed him disheveled, slumped, or what not...the story line was how "dejected & remorseful" he is "feeling"!! They choose the pictures accordingly. Those shots could have been taken months or years ago but of course, the un-washed public ate it up as if it just proved wh**ever angle the writer was trying hard to make!

Wonder if photographers are paid on a different scale as to how good or how bad their pics of celebs & politicos are?? If they get a lucky shot, they probably get a bonus! Probably a good time to be a photographer!!
