    Below are the before and after pictures of the Ft Lauderdale shooter. As you can see, CNN doesn't seem to have an interest in letting it's viewers believe a guy named Esteban Santiago might actually be Hispanic. I'm surprised they didn't change his name to Steve Smith.

    I also saw where CNN published a picture of this guy in his car - the original picture was in color but CNN 'Shopped it to be black & white so he didn't look so Hispanic.

    This is just more proof that CNN and much of the liberal MSM is completely biased towards particular groups and against others - Zimmerman along with his edited 911 calls immediately come to mind.

    Promoting race and race baiting needs to stop and CNN needs to be called out for being a channel of left wing propaganda rather than news.

    The original picture on the left, CNN's doctored one on the right.

    What puzzles me is why they even bothered. I mean why not just go the entire Zimmerman route and just go ahead and call the fellow a White Hispanic? Then leftist would KNOW to ignore the 'Hispanic' tag and just act as if the fellow were some White trailer trash fellow with an unhealthy interest in -- as Obama said -- guns and religion.

    It is very bizarre... this progresso world we live in. Why the obsession to demonize whitey? No matter what happens, the talking liberal heads always go for whitey, & if it is found out that is wasn't whitey, they just change the subject & rant about guns.

    There are plenty of crimes committed by white people. Whites can be criminals, too. But why this obsession? It is just the phony narrative from the left, pitching a race based view of society, instead of allowing the American Value of E Pluribus Unum to gain traction.

    They wanted it to be a white guy so badly, they created their own. Libs call this creative journalism.

    Are any of the pictures accurate?

    That's the problem with photo ID line ups.

    Wellllllll . . . the left needs a boogey man in order to give minorities something to fear and hate and therefore the minorities will never question the fact that they always end up worse under leftist programs. So forth and so on.

    I'll admit different photos of the same person can appear to have different skin tones for a variety of reasons, but as you can see, the photos above are the exact same except on has been Caucasianized.

    - - - Updated - - -

    I know. Were they under the belief that ONLY their doctored picture would make the news?

    More Fake News by Liberals. CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS, NY Times, Washington Post.... all garbage propaganda.

    It sounds like Canada needs gun control too.

    That's like the time when the Newsweek and Times magazines ran cover pictures of OJ Simpson and one had darken the picture to make him look super black. Trump is right about the media, it's full of constant lies.

    If you're not convinced of his origins after hearing his name, you're pretty dense. Typical silly non story from the right wing outrage machine.

    What's amusing is that they always get busted and then they wonder WHY they keep losing audience share.

    The same reason Rachel Dolezal pretended to be a black woman: they hate themselves and are mentally insane.

    twitter as a source? Probably with no link to the original picture, at least I didn't see one from a quick glance?

    I don't see that picture on cnn.com. Maybe someone can provide a link?

    Real or not, it doesn't change the fact that certain people hate it when mass shooters turn out to be something other than caucasian. It throws a wrench in the gears of thier anti-white campaign.

    They all look alike, don't they? That's why interracial id's of suspects are not reliable. Smart people on juries would dismiss such IDs because they are extremely inaccurate.

    That may be, but it would seem that this thread is now about how easily some people believe hoaxes and fake news and why they continue to do it over and over again even when it has been brought to their attention repeatedly.

    I don't get it myself. I detest liars and hate being lied to but it seems like most people insist on being lied to.

    I think most of the people who were duped by this story WANT it to be true. They want their boogeyman to exist. It's ridiculous and a little sad.

    This time you can call me a conspiracy theorist. I still have some friends in the USA and according to them this was a false flag operation which had only one purpose; to divert public attention from a disgusting racist attack which was committed by some vile Black racists in Chicago. The US media doesn't want to talk about vile Black racists abusing mentally challenged white person and posting it on Facebook.

    By the way, you can monitor the USA media and judge for yourself. Were they successful in their attempt to divert attention and manipulate the news cycle?

    The OP has been fooled by fake stories many times before. The fake youtube video of a "Trump" car in a black neighborhood he fell for was comedy gold!

    I'm starting to believe the American leftist media is really no more reliable than the Soviets' Pravda 50 years ago.
