It helps that during an average press event, a press photographer will take literally hundreds of photos which can then be filtered through and used accordingly depending on story and current perception of that person. The most dramatic example I can think of is Elizabeth Holmes: before the Theranos debacle photos of her made her look professional and charismatic (probably also provided by her): Once the batshit insanity and fraud that was Theranos was revealed, the press started picking photos that made her look like a deranged psycho: AceOfFlames fucked around with this message at 11:01 on Aug 18, 2019 |

I have tried to droop my frown as low as Mitch McConnel just to see what it was like and it is physically painful to do so. And that's just natural resting bitch face. What a complete void of a human being.

The 2011 and 2014 general elections in New Zealand are a great case study, where a compliant news media went out of their way to give disproportionate coverage to then-PM John Key on both occasions, while the little coverage they would deign to give the opposition leader was accompanied by deliberately selected unflattering images. When it was reported that he'd spent about 6 months harassing a waitress in a cafe by pulling her hair and refusing to stop even when told to (while making comments with creepy sexual undertones), only a handful of outlets used maybe sort of unflattering photos of him, or no photos at all.

Elizabeth Holmes was a holy unqualified person to have anything besides a bad opinion on medical engineering and absolutely did not understand anything about science or development of medical technology. Even a cursory examination of her case reveals her to be 100% batshit bonkers and supremely greedy and evil. Her chief engineer killed himself when he realized that the machines hed been hired to make just couldn't work on the time table she demanded and he'd be responsible for hundreds of consumers deaths if it went to market. Then she threatened his widow with a lawsuit if she talked about it.

I mean it can't be a coincidence that tabloids always seem to just miraculously have photos on-hand that match whatever their headline is. I'm sure they have databases of pictures with easily query-able tags like "feuding", "shocked", "victorious", "worried", "conniving," etc.

It’s was a handful of unsubstantiated claims that Rolling Stone spent a crap ton of money investigating before dropping it due to a total lack of any evidence whatsoever. They really wanted to break the story but exhaustive research revealed there was nothing to break. As in, in this specific situation, it could’ve just been trolls.
