France3, a French media outlet, has altered a photograph of a protest to change an anti-Macron sign into a pro-Macron sign
 
 
France3, a French media outlet, has altered a photograph of a political protest sign to make the message on the sign the exact opposite of what is actually on the sign.
The original sign (if translated to English) says, “Macron Resign.”
But France3 removed the word “resign,” thus changing the meaning of the sign from anti-Macron to pro-Macron.
A spokesperson from France3 said this alteration was due to “human error.”
I’m not buying that. How do you “accidentally” use Photoshop (or whatever they were using) to cover up part of a sign?
Here’s the original, unaltered photograph of the sign (all photos are from this link):

  
  
 And here’s the altered photograph of the sign:

  
  
 And here are the two versions side by side

    And they didn’t even do a good job of the editing. They’re overpaying the person in their graphic department.

    For those capable of critical thought, it’s clear the U.S. media and never Trump crowd have been doing the exact same regarding Trump for nearly 3 years now...Everything is meant cause concern, doubt, skepticism and mistrust.

There’s been a recent resurgence here, too, and then a timely warning from JR.

    Hey, you're not qualified to evaluate TRUTH without a little, uh, French dressing. Here's a story from AFP.

    They must have threw them at the house, because they did not shoot them.

    Patrons of CNN and The View probably think the French protests and riots are anti-Trump and pro-Macaroon.
Same types who sit around in over-priced coffee shops and complain about “the patriarchal obsession with facts...”
