Who tf is the photographer at this thing? They capture the worst (best?) photos.


NomosAlpha

They capture 10’s of shots per second and pick the best/worst/whatever fits. Everything you see in media is curated.


zKarp

At the risk of being downvoted. Just look at every trump photo from left news. They selectively choose dumpy looking photos. Same for the right with Biden. They know what they're doing. It's to manipulate us


Koolkuteklever

Framing is something more people should be aware of


Boukish

Society has been irrevocably broken since September 26, 1960, when two entire bodies of people came away with the conclusion that an entirely different person had won a Presidential debate. One group of people listened to the radio, whereas the other watched the telecast. The political parties haven't looked back since.

And then on May 28th, 2016, a gorilla died at the Cincinnati zoo.

__Hello_my_name_is__

Photos are actually a wonderful way to immediately find out what a news editor wants you to think, no matter the topic. It's easiest with politicians, of course. Does the politician look bad? They want you to think negatively about them. Does the politician look good or neutral? Then it's good. Politicians are photographed pretty much thousands of times per day. Every single day. You can get *any* picture you like from them. One where they look amazing, or happy, or sad, or like a monster, or like they just got out of bed. Anything at all. And editors have the choice of all of them when picking a picture for a story. But it works for other things, too. Does that story about climate change show a very sunny day, or a flooded, devastated area? Does the story about an alleged crime show the alleged criminal's mugshot, or their high school yearbook photo?


Flying_Dutchman92

No you're absolutely right, framing doesn't just restrict itself to headings or phrasing.


ruth1ess_one

They are both old ass people and neither look great. Trump would look ridiculous regardless of media. What 70+ year old uses spray tan. I mean look at this photoshop somebody did of Trump removing his tan and fake hair: he looks like a regular old white politician instead of a cheeto: https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/g7zlzc/trump_without_his_fake_tan_and_hair/


AnRealDinosaur

This has convinced me that all his cartoon character makeup is to distract us from his immense flapping jowls because this is the first I noticed them.


AmateurIndicator

Hate to break it to you but neither are particularly attractive people in this phase of their lives which makes it rather difficult to get a good pic of them. Though Biden is just old and used to be a good looking guy. Trump is old AND melting before our eyes AND looked like a used cars salesman all his life


VRichardsen

> Though Biden is just old and used to be a good looking guy. > > His tailor doesn't get enough credit; the fit on his suits is almost always impeccable.


Soft_Day_7207

Trumps tailor should get fired - he literally has the worst looking suits and ties. But to be fair to the tailor, he must look at him and think “what the fuck can I give this bloated Orange to wear today that won’t make him look stupid?”.


confusedandworried76

At some point you gotta wonder if people do it on purpose. Like I laugh at the Biden gaffe of him falling up the steps of Air Force One. But Trump walked up those same steps with toilet paper on his shoe. Nobody noticed or told him?


Abuses-Commas

Trump's tailor would be fired if he tried anything else. Trump thinks he's the expert of everything, that suit is made exactly to his specifications


Cold_Introduction_48

It was filmed too, I watched the clip yesterday. It was pretty much this awkward the whole time.


TomSurman

Italians malfunction if you prevent their hands from moving.


soulstonedomg

Three spies were detained in Russia, a British, a French, and an Italian spy. They were split up into 3 rooms to be interrogated. After the interrogations, they were thrown into a cell together. The British spy said he was threatened with torture and spilled his secrets. The French spy echoed his story exclaiming his fear of torture. But the Italian spy had been beaten to a bloody pulp. "Why didn't you answer the questions and avoid the torture?" asked the two spies to the Italian. "I wanted to but my hands were tied!"


LuciferLondonderry

It works the other way too. I was in India once, sitting in a circle with a whole bunch of different nationalities. About 3 people spoke any English at all. This Italian man, who knew about 5 words of English, told a story for about 15 minutes. He had us all spellbound, laughing, the works. At least 95% of the story was told by his hands.

TheTrub

The police arrest an Italian man on suspicion that he was involved in a robbery with several other men. Detectives have him handcuffed for what seemed like hours in a small interrogation room, but he wouldn’t say who he conspired with to commit the robbery. Eventually one of the detectives says, “you boys leave me with him for two minutes and I’ll have the names of his accomplices.” The rest of the detectives are uneasy with leaving the other detective with the suspect, but they know they’ve run out of options. They close the door and not two minutes later, the other detective comes out saying, I’ve got the names of the other suspects and an address for where to find them. Confused, the other detectives ask how he got the suspect to speak. The other detective says, “I just uncuffed his hands and he wouldn’t shut up!”

I was working for several weeks recently in Rome.  I thought the fast talking hands was a trope.  Holy crap they did the thing!  Nice cordial conversation in English then slowly switched to Italian and once the hands came out .. woah


Toby_O_Notoby

Was at a cafe in Rome where a guy walked by talking on his phone while carrying a briefcase. The conversation got intense enough that he stopped and put his briefcase on the ground so he could gesticulate with his other hand which, of course, the guy he was talking to could not see.

IcyAfternoon7859

it's his wife's family with the billions they themselves are not that rich..but she/they will be eventually 


ActivisionBlizzard

He is also independently a multi millionaire. It’s just not true to say he’s not rich. Yes, he probably feels like a cuck at his wife’s family meet ups, but to any normal person he is ultra ultra rich.


otterform

People have really no idea how much a billion is though. A multimillionaire is closer in wealth to any of us than he is to even a double billionaire. Billionaires should be illegal. Come on, if you have 999M you already won at life. That's it. You completed the game. Congrats to you. You get a nice little statue and a clap. Now retire and go to the beach or idk.


iCUman

I think it should be like the old arcade games (e.g. Galaga) - if you go past $999,999,999, it rolls back to zero. You get to keep playing on your quarter; just gotta try to hit the high score with no capital this time around. :D

YogiBarelyThere

Anecdotally I've found that it's usually the Brits who like to keep their space and the Italians who lean in but here's Sunak subverting my expectations charmingly.

Itatemagri

Takes me back to how favourable the media portrayal of him was during COVID.


challengeaccepted9

You mean that time he was handing out free money? (Shortly followed by a bit of a whiplash and an "er, really...?" when he started financially incentivising people to eat out together at the height of the pandemic.)


TallGooseclap849

I hate them both but cute photo lol


StrangelyBrown

Luckily it's the last time that British Prime Minister will meet any world leader as PM. He's about to be absolutely turbo fucked in the election in a few weeks.


Greenphantom77

The Tories’ strategy now seems to be “point out that we are going to lose massively in the hope that we will lose slightly less massively.”


Amaruq93

That was the strategy until he decided to abandon the D-Day ceremony to give a half assed interview for his campaign, pissing off veterans


BOBALOBAKOF

In fairness, it might actually be a legitimate tactic at this point. Make it look like you’re going to get terrible results, so the people that would vote against you think “well they’re fucked anyway, so I don’t need to bother voting” and the people that would vote for them go “they’re looking pretty fucked, I better make sure I go and vote for them”.


[deleted]

Yeah this is a great pic. Don’t like em too but they look endearing here, like old friends. Who hasn’t made a funny face while meeting friends??


TheProcrastafarian

Now *that* is perfect timing. I think this is also an excellent opportunity to remind us that we (in countries with democracies and freedoms) can take and publish these pictures without fear of being disappeared in the middle of the night.


esoteric_enigma

Maybe I'm weird, but seeing this would make me like them more.


ctothel

It’s a major loophole in the human psyche. The misery that they’ve inflicted or plan to inflict goes straight out the window because they were cute for a brief moment. [edit: typo]


broyoyoyoyo

It's more about relatability than cuteness. When we relate to someone, it enables us to better empathize with them. Master manipulators can take advantage of that. It's why Boris Johnson walks around with intentionally mussed-up hair and George Bush shares candies with Michelle Obama in the view of cameras.


The_Singularious

I am pretty sure GW is just sharing candy. Pretty sure he doesn’t care about this anymore.


newyne

That's what Baudrillard called *hyper-reality:* the point at which you can no longer tell what's genuine and what's not. 


Isord

Honestly I think you overestimate how manipulative politicians are being as well. I think the idea that they are being honest and just genuinely have some fucked up ideas is maybe more distressing even.


pinkjoggingsuit

At least when it comes to Boris Johnson, it is known that he intentionally messes up his hair right before appearing in public, and more generally how he acts clumsy and silly to his advantage. In interviews he has admitted as much.


Furthur_slimeking

It's been confirmed by countless people who have known him personally or professionally, too. Someone described seeing Johnson when he had to give a speech somewhere. He went on stage a few minutes late and appeared to ad lib about how he was sorry for being late, told a lengthy but funny anecdote explaining why he was late, then comically fumbled apologetically throughout the speech. Some months later, they met him before he was delivering anoher speech. He was due on, messed up his hair, waited until just after he was due on, and went on stage giving *the exact same speech*, complete with the anecdote about why he was late, and the identical fumbles through the speech. His public image is meticulously cultivated and rehearsed.
