That said, it isn't past the media to do that kind of thing, as we all know.
Does anyone else think the gunman’s photo with the Glock aiming at the reporter was photoshopped to make the hand look white? In his picture he looked pretty dark, not a light-skinned african american.
Here’s a link to the photo from breitbart (the top photo)

Maybe he and Jeb somehow swapped hands.

I don’t think it’s been ‘shopped.
I think it’s a result of the local lighting and the cell phone he was using.
I know my phone, a cheap one, has trouble adjusting lighting at times.
It’s probably his hand.
Darker colors reflect light differently than lighter colors.
I know, I know, racist old me.
Let’s not go all Sandy Hook Truther on this thing.
Flanagan/Williams was a light-skinned black man.
The very first screenshot that came out was from some investigative moron who didn’t know how to do a computer screenshot. He/she instead took a photo of a TV screen, which appeared way darker than normal because LED screens vs. camera phones suck.
This is very apparent in the video taken by the shooter. His sleeve is blue plaid, not black as originally reported (as in, from the original screen grab). His skin tone was much lighter as well in the broad daylight.
Never attribute to malice what can be adequately explained by stupidity. In this case, on the part of the non tech-savvy people in too much of a hurry while shoving the story out the door.
