[Nye Bevan]

CNN on the left, FOX on the right.

Notice anything?

[Oceansaway]

1. the Maybeline look on the right

[Skidmore]

2. Got the glowy lens treament at FOX and he looks like

Zell Miller.

[Beetwasher]

3. LOL! Typical

:eyes:

Maybe I shouldn't laugh though, it's not funny for lot's of reasons, but still.

4. You Expected Otherwise?

I'm sure you're not posting this because you're surprised. Hopefully you're not that naive.

The pictures tell it all. Too bad most people wouldn't have a clue. That's what we come to DU for....getting a clue. Thanks for the pictures.

[Nye Bevan]

22. No

Fox stopped surprising me long ago.

Funnily enough Fox actually replaced that picture a few minutes after I posted this. In the new picture he looks a *little* worse, but still nowhere near as bad as the CNN shot.

5. I noticed it as well

Fox tinted to hide the injuries.

[buzzard]

6. I give up, different angle and cameras alters the way an image looks.

[Tin Man]

24. See how much "yellower" the Fox photo appears?

Fox used what is known as a "yellow filter" on their camera lense - things that aren't yellow appear more yellow, while things that are yellow appear less yellow. The use of the filter helped disguise the yellow bruising on Whit's face.

7. Yes.

To me, the color of his skin, hair and jacket seem considerably lighter in the pic on the right. Also, I wouldn't necessarily think it was the same man.
Edited to add that I'm having trouble telling my right from my left a minute ago.

8. Actually he looks like death warmed over in both of them.

9. Good post...the rethugs that watch Fox..

will think Wittington never got hit with anything and what all the fuss was about.

CNN is showing the real deal

but what joke for the guy to come out and feel sorry for all the trouble this caused the Cheney family, I mean even the most cold hearted rethug has got to be saying OH MY GOD!

[Radical Activist]

10. I notice the bias of Fox State Television

Yes. :)

[VaYallaDawg]

11. Faux used the fair and balanced makeup crew, naturally.

Wanted to make sure both sides of his face looked the same.

[Initech]

12. Fox - saving W's ass since 2001

:nuke:

[spanone]

13. The F-station loves to shine a good light on Bushco. Pathetic.

[SammyWinstonJack]

14. Faux "Fair and Balanced" LOL!

:rofl: COVER UP! :silly:

[fasttense]

15. Huh, looks like the F News touched up their pics to hide the injuries. n/t

His press conference was kind of weird too. He praised the media and told them to keep doing what they were doing. Then of course he said it happened on Friday. Why didn't Cheney appear with him? You would think that would put to rest all the rumors about Dick doing it on purpose.

18. It's the lens they use. Notice edges of everything not crisp & clear

Using the Doris Day Fuzzy edge lens to soften the look and blur the details of his injury. Give away is that it also blurs everything else just a bit.

Shooting through cheesecloth trick ;)

[Blue Belle]

16. They have the one on the right...

on MSNBC too!

[Tin Man]

17. Fox clearly applied a yellow filter to help disguise bruising

..."fair and balanced" - what a joke!

[malaise]

26. What is the point of this fugging charade

when the real photos will be across the globe. How fugging low do you sink to cover up for Cheney? here Fux - Cheney shot the man in the face, heart and liver.

[Tin Man]

27. It's simple: Fox is the network of choice for the republican "base"...

...and right now, the only thing keeping the mis-administration from completely imploding is the blind allegiance of the same, koolaid drinkering, base.

Fox is spinning solely to keep the koolaid drinkers from leaving the reservation, and consequently, opening the door for increasingly nervous republican congressmen to break ranks and run for their political lives.

19. And here is Reuters >

30. Look how close that one shot came to his eye

I guess he would look even worse with a glass eyeball.

[warrens]

20. Vaseline on the lens cover, no doubt

[Double T]

21. Fox must be using the Fox Faux Flesh Filter..............

Fox News--Where NOTHING is real, including the news.

[yppahemnkm]

23. Why are you watching/Reading Fox News?

Why waste your time?

[Nye Bevan]

25. A couple of RW guys at my job

were looking at the Fox picture and saying hey, he doesn't look so bad. Showing them the CNN pic quietened them down a little.

[Lefty48197]

29. Please explain to them that Fox "News" is in the business of lying to them

and that they have fallen for the ruse. Ask them if they're stupid or something.

28. Anyone with an IQ of ambient room temperature in Antartica

During a coldsnap would know that there was no way in hell that he would look a hot mess following catching a faceful of birdshot, with a caveat of a few stray pellets in other strategic organs. Some people would be live anything these people put out. However, even though the republican base is slower and more dimwitted than the average farm animals, they are noticing the ridiculous pattern of pravda like antics that their "leaders" use to excuse, explain and obfuscate each and every one of their pecadillos and high crimes.
