Lenses don't lie, but can be used to deceive. Similar stunts were tried at Her Heinous' rallies and no doubt any that Groping Joe puts on once the "epidemic" subsides. Similar tricks were used in the days before pro wrestling got big. Typically matches were held in small venues such as the old Sunnyside Gardens in Queens, the Commack Arena on Long Island, the Hesterly Armory in Tampa the Olympic Auditorium in LA,etc,places that had at most a 2000 seat capacity. And even then they weren't even half full. They would adjust the audio and position the cameras in such a way as to make these places seem noisier larger and more crowded than they actually were

Everyone knows that reality is subjective …

Oh boy. If reality was really subjective, I can stand on train tracks and declare that according to subjective reality, an oncoming train would not kill me—and it wouldn’t. But then, there is something called objective reality . . .

Telephoto... - - Wide angle…

The media has been using tricks like this to receive from the beginning — some oftheir pet causes might have a small pittance of people taking part in a march or protest, but they make it look like everyone in the background is taking part.

You wanna see manipulation, here’s a short clip where actor Steve Buscemi’s face was placed on Jennifer Lawrence’s head. It’s creepy. And it’s worrisome, as it shows how easily a video can be faked.

Very well done, and that’s a problem.

This happened at the Newport Beach beach-goers two weeks ago during a suffocating heat wave in So. Cal. One aerial photo showed some decent distancing. Another taken from the pier made it look more crowded. The sand level shots were the worse, which is what Newsom went ballistic about. It’s all about the angle of the shot.

Not so sure about what happened at NB. I heard about this in real time because I have family that live there. What I heard was that the beaches were quite crowded, but that it was mostly a young crowd.

FYI, I also understand that cases per capita in NB are pretty low.

If every could see the inside of a TV studio, or visit the House of Reps, for example, they would understand the visual perspective that is used. Better yet...go to Disney World and really look around. Perspectives, dimensions, and even the smells are manufactured.

The world presented on TV is always manipulated. If it wasn’t, it would be a big chaotic mess and it would be difficult to follow on a smaller screen.

Gosh, no one since before the invention of photography had noticed this before.

I was in Seoul South Korea before the 88 Olympics. A news organization was taping video of a small demonstration in front of Eighth Army. The media was taping it so that it looked like people standing at a bus transfer point were in the demonstration.

LOL! Hey, you could get a job at CNN.

A Navy Vet :" The sand level shots were the worse, which is what Newsom went ballistic about.

You'd think that the Governor of the "Cinema State" would understand perspective, and the angle of the shot in photography.
Obviously, he does not.
Maybe he needs to go back to High School to learn about photography, (home )economics,
and the Dale Carnegie school of getting along with people and " How to win Friends and Influence People".

Remember Cindy Sheehan? Every photo of her was meant to deliberately deceive you into thinking she had "hundreds" of supporters around when in reality it was almost entirely journalists propagandists!

They didn’t get Steve’s teeth right

Propaganda is not new. Everyone falls for it. Most people are weak in some part of their mind. The propagandists are as good as a good magician even though much of it is as much of a “trick” as three card monty on people(marks).

except for the last pair of photos, all the rest of the pairs, the two pictures are not the same
