No, 60 Minutes Didnt Purposely Make Steve Bannon Look Like A Bleary-Eyed Drunk

so Bannon actually looks worse in person than he did on tv.


<After a Los Angeles-based photographer accused “60 Minutes” of purposely altering the color to make former White House chief strategist Steven Bannon “look like a bleary-eyed drunk” in an interview, journalism experts were quick to throw shade on the colorful conspiracy theory.

In a new YouTube video, Peter Duke theorized that CBS technicians increased saturation on the shots of Bannon to make his eyes and lips red.

Duke, whose online portfolio includes photo sets dedicated to “Making America Great Again” and to “Butthurt Losers,” pointed to the orange curtains in the background as a key piece of evidence.

Susan Farkas, a former senior producer for broadcast standards at NBC, and currently a journalism professor at the City University of New York, said there are many reasons why color saturation might be used in an interview, but making someone look bad isn’t one of them.

“The tendency is to make people look better,” Farkas said. “When I saw the interview, I actually thought he looked better. They smoothed over his skin.”>

A Hollywood failure, I loved it when George Clooney smashed that failure.

To be honest I've never seen Bannon when he looked like anything but a bleary eyed drunk.

There are so many dark, toxic currents flowing through that man's skull, and his face shows it, along with the ravages of hard liquor. That "man" should be anywhere near the head of our government.

it's more and more like #45 is Jim Jones and his death-loving congregation comprises some 1/3 of Americans who actually buy the asshole's act.

It's the journalists' fault especially, for making them all look bad, by... reporting the truth.

His eyes looked extra red because they covered up his rosacea and liver spots.
