    The “both sides” in the comments are exhausting.

    Trump administration is literally denying video evidence, and using AI to manipulate photos in newspapers.

    One is way more fucking bad than the other. And shame on you if you can’t tell the fucking difference.

      I worked for a newspaper a couple decades ago. AP Photographers were getting fired for cropping suggestively or removing power lines for composition.

      This is an insane time to be alive.

      They can tell the difference. But you’d be amazed at the mental gymnastics someone with extremely strong motivations can engage in.

      You gotta remember that these are mostly people who went back to the Trump trough three times in a row, even as he’s been steadily destabilizing and destroying their lives. If they admit they fucked up now, they have to admit they’ve been fucking up for over a decade, non-stop. Many of them would literally rather die than do that.
