they failed imo. now he just looks like he’s wearing a beanie. before he was already wearing the lenin hat. why change it?
They didn’t. It’s a bit darker and projected on a curved screen.
honestly judging by that background and how the media covers this dude i would be a lot more shocked to find out what you’re saying is the case rather than what OP is saying
The St-Basil cathedral and Kremlin in the background make the context obvious, they’re not trying to pass it off as a serious photograph.
Because Newsnight was a show that had a more relaxed, wry perspective on current affairs. People without a sense of humour or an understanding of the history of British political commentary went nuts over it, which was entertaining.
Ah, yes, leaning on red scare tactics painting a man as a communist because he wants the rich to pay their fair share in taxes. Very relaxed and wry.
Was it also painting Tory then-defence secretary Gavin Newsom as a communist when he appeared in the exact same graphic a few weeks previously?
Yeah, probably. Libs love their “horseshoe theory” about communism.
Don’t try to tell us you’re laughing with us instead of taking mickey out of us. We already know how your media paints him wholly black.
Oh get fucked.
Oh, it was just a joke? Like on TopGear?
