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?

I don’t think so. It’s just a crappy picture. Besides, there is no mistaking what he is.

Maybe a “white-uzbek” meme will emerge...

of course this was intentional.

The media are reporting he shouted “God is great”. They refuse to note his actual words “Allahu Akbar”. They refuse to note that he shouted the traditional terrorist statements. They translate into English what is said in Arabic. Why would news people do this? If not to change the narrative?

I agree - CBS is innocent.. Low bandwidth distorted the transmitted image. A first for CBS.

No, not the image transmission. I meant the innocence.

Good catch!

“Allahu Akbar” is actually translated correctly, “Allah is greater” or “Allah is greatest”. The name of the one and true God is “Jehova”, the name of the muslim’s god is “Allah”.

“They will know us by our beards!” -Traditional Muslim expression

If New Yorkers don’t like it, they are the only ones empowered to do anything about it. I’d love to see them pick up pitch forks and torches. Given the way they vote... Schumer, Clinton, Gillabrand, Cuomo, DiBlasio, Bloomberg, ...I had assumed they don’t mind these things from time to time.

It’s called multigenerational copy effect.
If CBS is guilty of anything it’s being cheap.

Has the Treehouse now stooped to tabloid gossip?

Sad.

Humans tend to favor increased-contrast pictures, so I wouldn’t be surprised if this was normal video settings.

Good question to ask though.

A guy that looks like that should be required to eat a ham sandwich before renting the truck.

That’s a high yellow raggedy rag, if you ask me. What’s the controversy?

Can someone please tell me the difference between the French and a citizen of NYC?

They don’t fight back.
They don’t hold their reps accountable...Schumer should be strung up.
They say they must view this as new normal, can’t do anything.
They want different results, but will rinse and repeat.

Any difference?

This is what was said by bystanders on abccbsnbccnn this morning.

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

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