This last Wednesday, The New York Times edited a picture of two candidates to presidency : Obama and Mc Cain. These two picture were very different.
First, Obama was looking bad on the picture. He could barely opened his eyes because rain was pouring on him. His face looks terrible because it was probably hard to stay under that cold rain without an umbrella.
Then, we have a great picture of Mc Cain showing him with a great smile and looking very confident. Obviously, he did not have to endured the same hard rain than Obama. He looks very relaxed opposed to Obama who seems very tensed.
These two opposed pictures show us that the newspaper publishing them has an opinion about the candidates. If it did not have any, we would see both candidates looking similar and not as contrasted.
Maybe, the media do not tell us directly what is their point of view but indirectly, they try to influence us. Visual images such as pictures is a great way to catch our attention and honestly, who will not think that Obama looks terrible on this shot?
Does The New York Times likes Obama??
Is up to the pictures to tell you…
