Subconscious Image Manipulation- Ron paul, Romney Santorum

check out this photo they have up..
they desaturated ron pauls photo and added blue.. makes him look sick, near death, old.. so on… they also blackened his eyes
they put him on the left hand side as to represent (left sided views to the right conservatives) also.. people view left to right.. so they quickly flow over him
Romney is DEAD CENTER, clearly a fake catch light aka EYE light to make it look glistening
they boosted his saturation and made the over all tones warmer and more appealing.. he is also the only one with a colorful back drop
santorum is desaturated but not as much as ron paul, he also has a catch light in his eyes…
over all the image choice and arrangement makes peoples eyes go directly to Romney
the image name i dragged off the website is called "Color" which indicates that this was named "COLOR" because it was messed with in an editorial program like photoshop

Keen eye. I really hope more people start considering the biases involved for everything they are told and generally start thinking more for themselves. The mainstream media, though losing power, is still a behemoth and I don't really think people are aware of how easily manipulated they are. It needs to be a much bigger discussion with more awareness to it in general, as a way for people to defend themselves and disarm propaganda of all kinds.

Ron Paul is de-saturated and Romney is over-saturated (he's tomato red). I think what you're facing isn't subconscious photo manipulation, but someone who sucks at photoshop.

This is so obvious it should be put on politics. The color part on the file is what seals it for me lol.
