No, '60 Minutes' didn't make Steve Bannon look like a 'cloudy-eyed drunk'

After a Los Angeles photographer accused "60 Minutes" of deliberately altering color to make After former White House chief strategist Steven Bannon "looked like a cloudy-eyed drunk" in an interview, journalism experts were quick to cast a shadow over the colorful conspiracy theory.

In a new YouTube video, Peter Duke theorized that CBS technicians increased the saturation in Bannon's shots to make his eyes and lips redden.

Duke, whose online portfolio includes photo sets dedicated to "Making America Great Again" and "Butthurt Losers," pointed to the orange curtains in the background as a key piece of evidence.

He said the curtains are brighter orange behind Bannon than in the interviewer Charlie Rose shots.

By compar Ison, Rose's video was modified to look cooler to subtract importance to her makeup, she said.

In his clip, Duke adjusted the Bannon and Rose video clips to show how saturation affects

But spokesperson for "60 Minutes" was quick for Kevin Tedesco to dismiss Duke's theory of media bias.

"It's bullshit," he said via email.

Susan Farkas, former senior producer of standard Broadcasters at NBC, and currently a journalism professor at the City University of New York, said there are many reasons why color saturation could be used in an interview, but making someone look bad isn't one of them.

"The trend is to make people look better," Farkas said. “When I saw the interview, I thought it looked better. They smoothed over her skin. ”

Farkas said that Bannon's eyes looked red, but said that in general he looked better than usual.

Farkas said Color correction is done so that two people in independent camera shots look similar.

However, he admits that “high definition does not help anyone. Everybody looks bad about him. "

Bannon's appearance has inspired late-night comedians like Stephen Colbert and Seth Meyers to compare him to everything from" a helmetless Darth Vader to methamphetamine, "" the discarded leather suit worn by the alien from Men in Black, "or" the most handsome guy in the liquor store, "according to Vanity Fair.

Duke did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
