This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.

interesting how that picture is desaturated.
We call it the "BBC/nether filter", referring to how BBC turns all pictures and videos of China darker than original.
Remember when they were caught photoshopping geen trees in China grey?
Haven't heard that one, but here's an example, on the left is BBC's Chinese version, on the left is the English version:
Original article: BBC sparks uproar in China for 'underworld filter' on Wuhan video https://www.globaltimes.cn/page/202102/1215710.shtml
Christ, this has to be a deliberate effort to present China negatively. Makes you wonder how the process looks when the decision making is going on. As well, whether the opposite happens for stories which they might want to show favourably, with additional saturation or whatnot.
There's a famous book that goes into the details of this process, you may have even heard of it, Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell.
Ironic that western governments seem to use that book as an instruction manual, and yet all the CHUDs who screech about it insist that every single one of the US's enemies are exactly like the book.
