Washington Post: GOP Representative Stefanik "Altered" a Photo of Nancy Pelosi

Fake News! Russians!

If you can believe this -- a politician released a picture of a political opponent which had been run through a filter to make the picture appear harsher.

A Washington Post "journalist" thinks that this is a new type of RUSSIAN DISINFORMATION which is worth an accusatory "news story."

Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) tweeted a petition and fundraising appeal that included what appeared to be an altered photo of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, drawing a retweet Thursday morning from President Trump.

The tweet marks the second time this week that a House Republican has tweeted a photo that appears to have been manipulated.

Here's the scandalous "altered" photo:



John Sexton then demonstrates that he found the original photo and was able to 99% duplicate the "altered" version simply by applying a filter in Photoshop and adding a tint.

MACEDONIAN CONTENT FARMS!!!

But then it gets fun: Because this Washington Post "journalist" never bothered to check if the victim of this RUSSIAN PHOTOGRAPH ALTERATION, Nancy Pelosi, herself ever ran exactly-similar harsh-filter pictures of her opponents.

Spoiler alert: She did.

Another spoiler alert: She did, a lot.

But that won't make the Washington Post.






More at the link.

Will the "journalist" Somnez, who more than likely was asked to write this "story" by Nancy Pelosi herself, be following up with an article about all the times Nancy Pelosi resorted to RUSSIAN PHOTO MANIPULATION to score political points?

No, of course not.

Because the Washington Post is not a newspaper; it is billionaire's newsletter, run to support leftwing causes and candidates.

Oh, and one more bit of fun, via Twitchy.

Not only is Nancy Pelosi's twitter feed loaded with "ALTERED PHOTOS," but when you click on this very Washington Post "story," you are greeted with... an altered photo of Trump, courtesy of the Washington Post itself.

You know, the guardians of truth.



Instapundit pointed out that this particular know-nothing, Felicia Somnez, has a special penchant for making outlandishly conspiratorial claims about Republican political ads.

2 Sadly, altering photos and videos will only get easier and more widespread.

And I assure you that the MSM will make sure conservatives are hardest hit, while coddling Dems.

124 Oy vey.

Is the photo "altered?" Yeah. Is it *dishonest?* No, it isn't. It isn't because it is obviously altered for effect. It isn't saying Nancy looks like that in real life, but using color and relief changes to emphasize a point is commonplace. As the post points out, Nancy - and everyone else, right down to the picture of your Cheerios on the box ("enlarged to show texture") - does, too.

Not that it can never be deceptive. Want an example? How about back when Time (or Newsweek, maybe, but I think Time) darkened all of OJ's features in a very non-obvious way, and not simply to contrast an effect, when he was acquitted. It was dishonest - OJ didn't look like that - and it was also unclear that it had been done. Or, for another example, the fact that not a single female cover model looks the way she does in the photos - the pictures have been touched up, airbrushed, contrast improved, etc. down the line.

Are those actual examples bad? I'm inclined to shrug about it, but at least it appears to be a legitimate complaint. This isn't. This isn't surreptitiously altered to hurt Nancy. It was obviously altered to make a damn point and anyone with even a room-temperature IQ wasn't deceived by it.

Nancy and her crew have so many battles from which to pick. Why pick this one?

144 When we killed Bin Laden, who by then was an old man in his bathrobe eating soup from a can*, nobody on the Right said that was bad or a bad thing to do.

We may have mocked Obama for the various ways in which he was a prissy little cunt about it, but nobody said oh noes you shouldn't have killed Uncle Usama.

I'd be fine with them complaining that Trump's explanations are fact-free, poorly articulated, and rely heavily on adjectives like bigly, yuge, and the very best. That's all fair.

But they're saying we shouldn't take out the actual combatant in the field with American lives in his sights. That's not the same ballpark, that's not the same fucking game.*

Not the most felicitous of comparisons, as the US troops at the line before the Bulge was made were caught napping because they had no idea an attack was coming.

Aside from a few strongpoints such as St. Vith, it was the reactions on both flanks from Patton and Monty with reinforcements that removed the threat.

'They Literally Know Nothing': Ben Rhodes Bragged About Manipulating Clueless Reporters



...Ben Rhodes actually bragged about his manipulation of clueless reporters to the New York Times magazine in a piece also covered by the Washington Post.

"All these newspapers used to have foreign bureaus. Now they don't. They call us to explain to them what's happening in Moscow and Cairo. Most of the outlets are reporting on world events from Washington. The average reporter we talk to is 27 years old, and their only reporting experience consists of being around political campaigns. That's a sea change."

"They literally know nothing,"

Rhodes told the New York Times magazine.

Do not trust my opinion because I like both of them. The TuCa and Rand Venn diagram has a big overlap, but it's not the same footprint.

Rand is consistent to a set of principles, regardless of who it puts him at odds against. TuCa, I think, is honestly trying to pursue what's right. He doesn't have an ideology like Rand, but he does have a disregard for what "our side" is supposed to think.

Jesus, liberals are dumb. You can NEVER judge the popularity of a dictator and his lackeys by pubic displays. You can hate him like poison and go out to wave the banner for self protection.

I remember when Jimmy Carter and the Sandanistas were using polls that said how popular the government was to have an election, watched by them and expected to win it.

When they actually got a vote, they bounced the damn commies right out of town, and fuckface Carter and the other lefties never figured out how that happened.

#BREAKING
Initial reports claim Israeli Air Force & U.S. Air Force airstrikes targeting three sites associated to #Iran's Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) in Deir Ezzur, eastern Syria.

Another report indicates airstrikes near Albukamal on the Iran/Syria border.

271 But Nancy...sheesh I watch her talk and she looks about to stroke out. And what she is saying seems to be mostly nonsense. Just rambling around, her dentures clacking. Weird expression on her face that don't seem to have much to do with the words coming out of her mouth, like a ventriloquist dummy. Her face always looks shiny and plastic-like. She seems unsteady on he feet. The whole thing is so alarming. And the journalists don't seem to even notice how bizarre it is.

That statement literally can not be parsed. If you never watched Tucker you can't compare him to someone else's instincts.

273 The funny thing is that the legacies could still flunk out, and many did.

Wealth and birth could get you in, but you still had to perform at some sort of competent level.

Does anyone flunk out of college anymore? Are they allowed to? Isn't that 'triggering' and 'emotional abuse'?

It wasn't Suleimani directly.

It was a Shia Militia bought and paid for by him and his Iranian Paymasters; and trained by the Iranian Qods forces.

The Shia Militia started torturing the kid right in front of the Father, AFTER they had killed his Mother and his siblings.

The Democrats are covering for Suleimani. Just like the apologist for AH, claiming he never signed any paperwork ordering the Holocaust.

Lileks' NTism always struck me odd.

I kind of wonder if it was a lukewarm kind of go along to get along and social pressure type of thing. Now granted, I may have missed some more full throated expression of NTism.

Haven't read him in a while, but he has always had a sense of Midwestern sense and politeness to him so even if he thought Trump wasn't the answer I can see him being disturbed by the zealotry of NTers coming from what was supposed to be the rational side.

He might also have had a better sense of how Trump would actually do than someone in the bubble.
