the tired shrieks of 'racism!!' in response to any and all criticism is really pathetic.
Quote:
Rep. Ilhan Omar called Fox host Tucker Carlson a "racist fool" on Tuesday night after Carlson tore into her and claimed she "hates this country."

Carlson blasted Omar for her critiques of the United States and said the congresswoman is "living proof that the way we practice immigration has become dangerous to this country."

Omar was born in Somalia. Her family had to flee during the country's civil war. After four years in a refugee camp in Kenya, she arrived in the United States at age 12.

Tucker is an unabashed racist fool in a silly bow tie.
Therefore, her comment is accurate.

Carlson:

Quote:
She "is a living fire alarm. A warning to the rest of us that we better change our immigration. Or else"
he's right.

The picture of Carlson in the link makes him look like an ugly fool. It also makes Omar look like a calm and beautiful woman. It's not by accident and images have the ability to subconsciously influence our opinion of a story. That's my only contribution to this stupid story. Just a "be aware" of how headlines, graphics, photographs, subconsciously influence and manipulate. It will become even more important over the duration of the 2020 campaign.

Yup. The Leftist media is good at manipulation, even subtle things like imagery.

I have also noticed this. The pictures of Trump almost always show him in his worst light/expression.
On the other hand for instance Obama is almost always shown smiling as if specifically for the camera...…..

In this particular case it's CNN so yeah, it's leftist. But the right does it as well. I'm just saying that people need to slow down, consider, and stop being unthinking lemmings. And be aware of how others are pulling our strings.
