MS NOW Thought Alex Pretti Wasn’t Pretty Enough So They Heavily Altered His Image
Alex Pretti has been all over the news since he was shot while engaged with Customers and Border Protection officers in Minneapolis. The fury over CBP and ICE in the dysfunctional city has leftists attempting to elevate the armed insurgent’s status to a combination of martyr and saint.
MS NOW took their brainwashing to the next level by adding beautification to the mix. They heavily enhanced his headshot and displayed the new and improved Pretti on Nicolle Wallace’s show.

Heh, that is an excellent joke...:)
No, I don’t. ( curious)
I like the expression “fake but true” as applied to photography. There is always some lens distortion, even with the best computer correction programs. The best a photographer can do is eliminate it as much as possible. The “true” is always elusive.
So?...If I were to use a photo for the “10 Most Wanted List”, I would choose the one on the right. He would be more likely to be recognized and caught.
I am sick of seeing their reflexive crap defending the Leftists.
Oh, I don’t know if he was Jewish or not... by the last name I’m guessing Italian... I just think that at some unconscious level, they processed it that way and decided to shave a bit off the tip.
Oh yeah, won’t ever forget that one. Watched it all unfold here. I think I saw Buckhead’s original post within minutes and knew he was spot on, totally on to something. I had lived the PC revolution and had been around manual typewriters, electric typewriters, dot matrix printers, daisywheel printers, and laser printers over a quarter century, during much of which time I was involved in serious professional document production. I knew and understood the technologies. I instantly knew Buckhead was right, that the memo was fake. Documents of that type from the era the memo was supposed to be from were invariably fixed pitch from typewriters. Microspacing was only done on high-end printing.
The coup de grace was when someone took early 2000s MS-Word on default settings and produced an identical document with a microspaced font. The *.gif that went back and forth from the Rathergate document, to the MS-Word document, in perfect overlay, said it all, proved even to Dem idiots that the Rathergate document was an anachronistic forgery, they could no longer deny it.
Even George Orwell couldn’t have predicted the depths our liberal liar class would go in their propaganda.
You don’t know what you’re talking about. It’s obviously the same photo that’s been altered.
Why the long face, Alex?
An early “deep fake” ?
Buckhead was deeper.
Nothing deep about, it was just a plain old fake fake.
Damn... a nose job, makeup (thicker eyebrows), a shave and a haircut... and they even whitened his teeth! Who knew the lamestream media would give free Glamour shots to ‘certain people’... after they’re dead.
Yes, it is a photo that has been altered to correct for lens distortion and overexposure.
