A Gentle Reminder: The Many Forms of Propaganda

It's important to remember that photographs don't necessarily have to be modified to be propaganda . Consider this one, sent out by the Associated Press from their coverage of the London protests . Notice how the photograph was taken from a low angle? The photographer clearly intended to present a "David vs. Goliath" scenario, with the United States predictably being shoe-horned into Goliath's role . (It's comforting to see that ANSWER has already modified their protest to be against the "US/Israeli war.") Who fills the shoes of the righteous David? Why, of course—Hezbullah does! I have a feeling we'll be seeing more of this photo, as it's much more "emotion-filled" than the one taken moments before . I look forward to continuing with my hunt for photographic propaganda.
