Photographer Fattens FLOTUS for Fourth – Reuters hasn’t changed.

That photo by Carlos Barrias [Reuters] of President and First Lady Trump looked a bit odd to me, because within seconds of that photo, Melania Trump dropped 30 pounds.

Reuters has a history of photojournalistic  malfeasance.


Carlos Barrias’ Reuters bio includes this gem:

“I was very moved after covering the earthquake in Haiti. I was one of the first journalists from Reuters to arrive, and I was there for about 45 days. It was long and tough. You can see human beings at their most basic instinct for survival.

It was a very weird feeling in Haiti because I know I was there doing my job, and I would like to feel that our job means something for people, but at the same time I felt powerless. What do you say when a kid comes to you and asks you for water and food, and you have nothing but a camera? I couldn’t answer that question, and I felt frustrated that I couldn’t do anything.”

[Confidential to @ReutersBarria: I don’t know you, never met you, but you’re full of sanctimonious crap. You were in Haiti for 45 days without food or water? Sure you were. Please click on this. The first 50 seconds are just for you.]

Puppies are born with incomplete digestive systems.  They aren’t able to completely digest everything that passes through their digestive tracts.  Therefore they recycle, and pet owners can’t stand to watch that kind of natural recycling.

The Associated Press, Reuters, MSN and CNN and a couple of other media sources that come to mind are kinda like that, too, but they are not puppies and so far there are no products available to prevent them from recycling their own crap.
