Just to show the doubters that this "Socialist" can see bias on the leftie side of the media world, I am providing a screen shot of First Lady Melania Trump that I caught this morning. Taken from video shot during her speech for the RNC. It does make her look crazy, doesn't it. It also shows how one photo can create a false impression plus it probably is an indicator that the person who chose the pic really doesn't like Melania.

I'll let the computer knowledgeable find my source for the photo

Yeah, and if you want, you can take a single well-timed shot of a video and tell the world the candidate is asleep. But we all know the right would NEVER stoop to such blatant lies.

It's the exact reason that celebrities have mastered the art of maintaining a smile without otherwise moving their face. I remember many years ago two magazine covers side by side. Same actress photographed at the same time on the same night. One photo was carefully chosen to have eyes bright and alert and mouth positioned perfectly. The headline for that photo was how she stood out as the most beautiful of the evening. Then next to it was a weird positioned mouth and eyes half closed. That headline was how she showed up to the event drunk. Photos snapped milliseconds apart. So you can purchase which ever one fits your agenda.

I don't think the photo makes her look crazy.
She just looks like she's in the middle of a speech to me.

The picture is perfectly fine.

She looks like she is showing emotion which she usually doesn’t

It is perfectly fine if the publisher adds a caption explaining her body language: "First Lady Malania Trump gives a speech at the RNC." If you just typed her name on Google Images and saw this, how would you know she was talking?
