Photographer reveals how 60 Minutes shamefully concealed Steve Bannon's natural beauty
If you tuned into 60 Minutes’ interview with former White House chief strategist Stephen K. Bannon last night, you witnessed something galling in its mendacity, a savage display of contempt for our ideals and attacks on the color of a person’s skin that no doubt left you feeling utterly repulsed. But take heart: As photographer Peter Duke shows us, that was all just liberal media spin, as CBS conspired to make Steve Bannon look kind of gross.
In a video explainer titled “60 Minutes & CBS want you to think Steve Bannon is a red-eyed monster,” Duke lays out how the network used deceitful color adjustments to take Bannon—celebrated for his economically nationalist alabaster skin and eyes like clear Colorado streams alive with clean coal-eating fish—and try to make him resemble a bloodshot golem who’d just crawled from a bog filled with vodka and cigars. It was all nothing more than a desperate attempt to cover up Steve Bannon’s allure—a flailing attempt to somehow make the Breitbart chairman seem off-putting.
Duke, who The Gateway Pundit notes has photographed other conservative heartthrobs like “Milo Yiannopoulos, Scott Adams, and James O’Keefe,” reveals exactly how these lying producers increased the level of saturation to leave Bannon’s eyes and lips looking slightly redder. By comparing the color of the drapes in the background of shots focused on Bannon with those featuring host Charlie Rose, Duke determined that the curtains looked far more “orange” in Bannon’s scenes compared to the “cooler” grading on Rose—which means CBS was clearly, subliminally trying to suggest Bannon is filled with hate and alcohol to distract from his ideas.
