CNN photoshops the photo of Oregon killer Chris Harper-Mercer to make him look white. Chris was the son of Ian Mercer from Great Britain and Laurel Margaret Harper. Chris lived with his mother Laurel. He posted this selfie online. But, according to Conservative Treehouse, CNN altered the image to make Harper-Mercer look white. Via Conservative Treehouse: On the left is the selfie Christopher Mercer uploaded to his social media. On the right is how CNN presented the same selfie in broadcast stories about him. Why did CNN need to change the complexion (color) of their broadcast? Why is no-one showing pictures of mom, Laurel Margaret Harper. His online profiles have been erased since the shooting.

Not only did they lighten the image, they re-shaped his nose. CNN might be able to explain away the photo contrast, but not the photoshopping. Imagine the hoopla if Fox darkened the image of a white perp and broadened his nose.

Yes. I loaded the two images in a photo editor, thinking they had warped certain features. But it wasn't that sophisticated. They whited up the image and using lightening around his nose/nostrils to give him a Caucasian nose job. Similarly, they gave him White Man Lips. And removed the large moles/birthmarks that are more unusual in actual Caucasians. The result is a change from a lighter-skinned half-black guy to a Caucasian type. I notice they're trying to portray him as a white supremacist but that would seem pretty odd when he isn't white to begin with. He was pretty dark, well beyond being a little "swarthy".
Looks like the lips are thinner as well.
