This is how we saw it on Milwaukee news this morning. Video shows burns on left side of her face. But just before that they showed a still picture that was reversed for some reason - burns were on the right side. So you're right....somebody's messing around or the news idiots don't know what they're doing.
Selfie with a camera phone, reverses the images. Do none of you do selfies? :)
(My phone has two cameras, so I can do the selfie reverse, or turn the camera around and get an “as-is” picture.
