PC Running Amok? – Did CBS News Intentionally Lighten Skin Color of NYC Terrorist?…
The Conservative Treehouse ^ | October 31, 2017 | Sundance

Posted on 11/01/2017 7:59:26 AM PDT by COUNTrecount

Normally this might be one of those things to pass off as just accidental or part of rushing a story to the headlines. However, in this instance CBS immediately reported an exclusive picture of New York Terrorist Sayfullo Habibullaevic Saipov. TWEET and WEBSITE

On the left is the actual picture of 29-year-old Saipov; on the right is the version of the picture that CBS broadcast, used in newscasts and also put on their website. Notice any difference?

Personally I don’t think they lighten up the picture but it is some computer software that did it automatically. Back in my younger years while in the Air Force and working in a photo lab you learn to when taking a picture of a darker color person to give it extra exposure, and when in the photo lab making prints to do the opposite other wise you end up making a black person too dark. Probably computers recognize darker people now and adjust the exposure for the face and not the background. Believe me it is better to have a face to light then to have a face to dark.

When I see a dude with the “Kill The Infidels” beard + no mustache, I cross the street, and keep walking further away.

Shave only Left side of his head and face then chop off only his Right hand. That's a Mixed insult to him of the worst kind.

Heard on a local radio show this a.m. it means "Allah is greater.

Did some research and it looks like they were right.

Remember when some rag lightened Obama’s skin color, changed the color of his swim trunks, gave him a six pack and enlarged his pecs and nether region. It’s not about facts but agendas.

Excellent analysis. I’d add in the lack of old-school news photography experience as a factor as well.

(As in, “Don’t change the meaning of the picture”)

But what really scores points was the phrase, “If CBS is guilty of anything it’s being cheap.”

IMO, it explains most sins in journalism.

CNN had on the Assoc. Dean of Yale Law, Asha Rangappa, who labeled what happened a “crash.”

Amazing isn’t it? Yes he would have us believe that it was a car crash not a deliberate act.

“The name of the one and true God is “Jehova”

The why do you call him God if that is not his name?

Him, God and Jehova all refer to the same One. The One and true.

Q. Why do they call camels the “Ships of the Desert?”

A. Because they are filled with Arab semen.
