Washington Post: GOP Representative Stefanik "Altered" a Photo of Nancy Pelosi

Fake News! Russians!

If you can believe this -- a politician released a picture of a political opponent which had been run through a filter to make the picture appear harsher.

A Washington Post "journalist" thinks that this is a new type of RUSSIAN DISINFORMATION which is worth an accusatory "news story."

Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) tweeted a petition and fundraising appeal that included what appeared to be an altered photo of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, drawing a retweet Thursday morning from President Trump.
The tweet marks the second time this week that a House Republican has tweeted a photo that appears to have been manipulated.

Here's the scandalous "altered" photo:

Dems obsessed w/ impeachment but won't send articles to the Senate. Why? It's bc they don't want a trial that will EXPOSE Schiff's illegal COORDINATION with the Whistleblower. SIGN & DONATE to #PressurePelosi to send the articles! https://t.co/g0D2tl9Px3 🚨https://t.co/w13xEv1sC9
— Elise Stefanik (@EliseStefanik) January 8, 2020

John Sexton then demonstrates that he found the original photo and was able to 99% duplicate the "altered" version simply by applying a filter in Photoshop and adding a tint.

MACEDONIAN CONTENT FARMS!!!

But then it gets fun: Because this Washington Post "journalist" never bothered to check if the victim of this RUSSIAN PHOTOGRAPH ALTERATION, Nancy Pelosi, herself ever ran exactly-similar harsh-filter pictures of her opponents.

Spoiler alert: She did.

Another spoiler alert: She did, a lot.

But that won't make the Washington Post.

The House has taken action to protect women from domestic violence, defend our health care from Trump’s attacks, guarantee equal pay for equal work, and much more.

It's time Mitch McConnell act for the American people rather listen to Donald Trump and special interest wallets. pic.twitter.com/sYxgSEgnFY

Will the "journalist" Somnez, who more than likely was asked to write this "story" by Nancy Pelosi herself, be following up with an article about all the times Nancy Pelosi resorted to RUSSIAN PHOTO MANIPULATION to score political points?

No, of course not.

Because the Washington Post is not a newspaper; it is billionaire's newsletter, run to support leftwing causes and candidates.

Oh, and one more bit of fun, via Twitchy.

Not only is Nancy Pelosi's twitter feed loaded with "ALTERED PHOTOS," but when you click on this very Washington Post "story," you are greeted with... an altered photo of Trump, courtesy of the Washington Post itself.

You know, the guardians of truth.

Instapundit pointed out that this particular know-nothing, Felicia Somnez, has a special penchant for making outlandishly conspiratorial claims about Republican political ads.
