The photo accompanying this report verges on being a racist trope. At the very least it's disrespectful and insulting.

Deliberately chosen?

@MadeyeTheCarnaptious Part of a long tradition of photo-editing to convey whatever idea of the person in the picture the particular publication wishes their readers to believe.

@fkamiah17 @MadeyeTheCarnaptious I raised an eyebrow at that as well.

There’s been more than a few newspaper articles with him “looking concerned”, and one newspaper made him look like he was shakily taking a drink of water to calm his nerves, when he was probably just taking a sip at an earlier press conference. 😂

They did something similar to Penny Mordaunt when she tried to replace Boris Johnson as Prime Minister. Every photo was in a swim suit or had a really weird facial expression.

@MadeyeTheCarnaptious @trechnex I only really read a few of the comment pieces now - Nesrine Malik, Stewart Lee, Marina Hyde and Aditya Chakraborty.

@MadeyeTheCarnaptious @fkamiah17 It might have been the BBC! Annoyingly I couldn't remember which news outlet it was. See the placeholder image for this video. 👀

The BBC has form too. Remember the "Comrade Corbyn" graphic on Newsnight?

@trechnex @fkamiah17 @MadeyeTheCarnaptious 😆 Here's photos from a recent tiff between NJ governor Murphy and Jersey City mayor Fulop (my mayor). Granted, Fulop chooses to look like this, but they certainly chose a thuggish picture for this story.
