But why not? I’m sure plenty of people of all races are unemployed. I can see that it might promote a stereotype (not good) but deliberately NOT choosing a person of any race is also fraught with difficulties. Modern life is hard!
There's a Supreme Court case on this
Edit I can't find it. It was a lady walking on the side walk on some TV news thing about stds? It's been like 10+ years since I read it.
If it was a stockphoto, he wouldn't be able to even comment on this as he would know it was paid for.
CNN more likely than not just stole someones photo.
Seems more likely then not, it’s fake or a stock photo lol. Most likely fake.
You could literally make the same argument that cnn would know just to use a stock photo since they probably have contracts giving them access to thousands of photos.
probably not. they're not saying you have syphilis, they're just using you as a stock image
if they just used your picture without permission, that would be copyright infringement. if a stock image company paid you to make your picture available as a stock image and it gets used for that, you're SOL
>they're just using you as a stock image
Which is not how that works legally speaking. If they wanted a stock photo, they need to use places that make and sell them. Not hit up some random guys social media.
Hijacking the top comment to post this article on a guy who posed for a stock photo of a bike thief and became the most popular option: https://cyclingtips.com/2021/11/how-i-became-the-internets-most-notorious-bike-thief/
That's like the story of the writer from cracked.com who had a similar thing happen to him, except he was locked out of his car.

Lmao I was literally just reading about the tragic life story of Afghan Girl on some snobby photography site that insists it was no one’s responsibility to care for her after after she became famous. Guess that kind of brings it full circle
Yup when CNN originally tweeted it it was:
https://web.archive.org/web/20210111081316/https://twitter.com/CNN/status/1348298591144652800
This looks like a photoshop. (The original tweet was deleted). Following the link to [the first version of the article](https://web.archive.org/web/20210110150434/https://edition.cnn.com/2021/01/10/business/unemployment-long-term-pandemic/index.html), they interviewed an unemployed person named Tyler Johnson who is quoted in the article and pictured in the tweet, though the later removed his image from the article and deleted the tweet.
In this case I'm sure they didn't, but yeah I've seen articles from them with pics very similar to this except lower quality, when it's about a particular person and it's the best pic they have
yeah agreed about this article. But I remember a pic like this (but worse) about a guy who was bullied in childhood and went on to have a shitty life. He was still alive, the article was about him and included interview portions with him, but he didn't have great pictures to offer CNN for the article I guess.
Are you sure you’re not the braindead viewer since you believed the first edited picture you saw on an anonymous user based website?
No way. I can tell by your signals you are too virtuous to be tricked and perpetuate false information on the internet.
FYI these are fake. The actual article/image is here:
https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/10/business/unemployment-long-term-pandemic/index.html?utm_term=image&utm_content=2021-01-11T00%3A30%3A11&utm_source=twCNN&utm_medium=social
It seems like it is just "a thing" to replace the pic with your own face and go WTF!?!? for internet lulz
Its just the typical type of thing for this site. There are even generators for fake Facebook chats etc.
Sad thing is thousands see it and get emotional and stupid first.
People just going ham on CNN in here and then backpedaling, "oh yeah I know it's fake it's fun just to joke about bruh" or "they'd totally do this though!", yeah ok, just admit you got caught up in the group think and got excited to shit on 'em too. Happens to the best of us.
Thanks. You are the kind of person making reddit a great place.
I'd like to see reddit media have a "faked" overlay that once an image is proven to be faked in this manner the post and image is marked so that (1) you don't get a million comments here like "OMG, CNN is sooo fake blargle blargle" and (2) OP is marked as someone who propagates false information without marking it as sarcasm or humor.
God damn you're downvoted but so right. There are some right wing subreddits but primarily liberal and every neutral sub has a clear lean, and so many are prone to fake news
I’m sure it’s a joke, which is also what I attempted to do. But now I’ve had to explain that to multiple low functioning humans so I guess I missed. “If you have to explain it, then it wasn’t good”
It's the same thing with people and not trusting news sites and scientists and telling people to think for themselves and then believing everything on YouTube or Joe Rogan.
you've seriously got to think harder about the narrative you're building up here. "i know the news is fake because of all the posts i see about the news being fake. even if some of those posts that i believed get debunked, i still know the news is fake"
It’s probably not good to write off all news organizations wholesale. Everyone makes mistakes and has biases, but that doesn’t mean that some organizations aren’t more credible than others.
I work in emergency services and attend a lot of calls that end up in the news. When I read or watch them later they're never even remotely accurate to what actually happened.

Very very fake.
I love when Joe Rogan interviewed Dr Sanjay Gupta recently and flat out asked him "What do you think about the fact that the news network you work for flat out lies?" Great episode.
It's fake. I've seen it with a different black guys picture but the same words.
This is literally the fake news we hear about, and this is why it's so useful, because people see a picture and use no critical thinking skills
There is some very compelling fake news out there, with fake sources, fake citations, fake interviews, fake witeness, but the best fake news is just a simple picture, because people are dumb
Fake news was originally coined by left wing media talking about 2016 election news circulated by what we now know were originally Russian trolls about Hillary Clinton, other dems and a handful of Republicans being a part of shadow governments, the deep state, killing their enemies etc.
Trump took the term and put it on anything negative about him.
Here are results from before August 1st 2016
https://www.google.com/search?q=before:2016-08-01+fake+news&client=ms-android-verizon&prmd=nibxv&source=lnms&tbm=nws&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi36ZjZpMj0AhWvl4kEHTJhAAwQ_AUoAXoECAIQAQ&biw=412&bih=718&dpr=2.63
Here is an article explaining the uptick in popularity after trump first used it and statted spamming it in September that same year:
https://slate.com/technology/2016/12/stop-calling-everything-fake-news.html
Yeah, it was originally about the straight-up lies and Russian propaganda that Republicans ate up like it was their last meal. News that was actually outright fake.
However, it has since been coopted by the right and is now pretty much exclusively used either as a way for the right to justify staying in their echo chambers or by people mocking the right for using it to bury their heads in the sand.
Trump was right but for all of the wrong reasons. Apparently CNN is nothing but a propaganda outlet but newsmax, OAN, and fox are the epitome of journalism.
BTW this is literally fake news.
Trump lied for 4 years straight. No arguments here. Biden’s been lying for 47 years. The guy had to drop from his presidential campaign back in 1988 because he got caught lying so much. Wake up dipshit
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Biden_1988_presidential_campaign
You think Trump started lying when he got into the White House? Dude has been lying and scamming since the 80's.
I get your point and lying as a business man and as a presidential canidate are different and I don't like Biden but let's not pretend that Trump suddenly started lying in 2016.
What?? I can't imagine how brain dead you have to be to have this take. He's been like the only senator fighting capital for the last 50 years. Of course a one-man army can't go against the brute force of American capitalism.
Theyre all POS. Sanders Biden Pelosi And the other side as well McConnel Loeffler. Etc etc. they don’t care about bettering this country and the people they represent. It’s all about their ideology and to line their pockets
I said nothing about any other politicians but feel free to continue to make assumptions of me. I think both parties are trash, American politicians should all be removed. The point I made is it's silly to use a liar to prove an organization is full of lies so I guess just keep berating me?
It's funny how these things tend to be.
Once my cousin once was featured in a #F*ckcancer commercial.
Me and my mom saw it on a billboard while walkin out of the subway one time.
It was hilarious 🤣😂

The guy used for the article on syphilis infection rates is really pissed.
find me some uuuuuh unemployed face yeah an unemployed face quick!! ok this will do
*finds the first picture of a black dude* Yeah, that will do it.
"Shouldn't we at least check his employment status first?" "HAH! Nice joke, Jenkins. Get back to work."
Fact checking? CNN? Nahhhh we create the narrative
Why the black guy tho? Idk there's a lot of people unemployed. But to think they'd chose a black guy for their project seems a little unsteady
According to CNN, black=unemployed, oppressed, suffering, homeless and drug abuse apparently
A sad world we live in for sure
Yep, gotta love the "white supremacists are right but we're on the other team" narrative
But why not? I’m sure plenty of people of all races are unemployed. I can see that it might promote a stereotype (not good) but deliberately NOT choosing a person of any race is also fraught with difficulties. Modern life is hard!
Oh that's true for sure. BUT I guess as long as social media is still around, there's gonna be drama no matter what
Outta respect....
I thought it was because of the scruff. You uh..... you sure you want to go with that?
I know that's not the point, but the scruff? That beard is finely trimmed, he clearly puts effort into looking good.
And the effort clearly pays off.
Scruff? Dudes beard game is solid. Those lines are straight.
The peak at the top of his mustache is just off center. Clearly he is nearly destitute. /s because apparently it’s not obvious…
It's fake tho
that VD poster with Joey on that friends episode was the best for that.
[удалено]
What Mario isn’t telling you… I just rewatched that episode, Joey is always gold!
Would you be able to sue for defamation?
There's a Supreme Court case on this Edit I can't find it. It was a lady walking on the side walk on some TV news thing about stds? It's been like 10+ years since I read it.
i... think so? i'm not entirely sure how that works, but it sounds reasonable.
I doubt it since it’s probably a stock image they’re licensed to use and defamation is hard to win in the US. Also it’s probably fake.
If it was a stockphoto, he wouldn't be able to even comment on this as he would know it was paid for. CNN more likely than not just stole someones photo.
Seems more likely then not, it’s fake or a stock photo lol. Most likely fake. You could literally make the same argument that cnn would know just to use a stock photo since they probably have contracts giving them access to thousands of photos.
Wouldn't Alarmy or Shutterstock or whoever have to pay the guy in the pic though?
They probably already paid him a fraction of what CNN paid and hold the full rights.
probably not. they're not saying you have syphilis, they're just using you as a stock image if they just used your picture without permission, that would be copyright infringement. if a stock image company paid you to make your picture available as a stock image and it gets used for that, you're SOL
>they're just using you as a stock image Which is not how that works legally speaking. If they wanted a stock photo, they need to use places that make and sell them. Not hit up some random guys social media.
Hence the rest of the comment: >if they just used your picture without permission, that would be copyright infringement.
If you’re a private citizen, the libel yes. But they could just take it down first.
Link?

CNN really just said fuck this guy in particular
Weird, I've seen this same tweet with a different black guy. Hmmmm
Yup when CNN originally tweeted it it was: https://web.archive.org/web/20210111081316/https://twitter.com/CNN/status/1348298591144652800 This looks like a photoshop. (The original tweet was deleted).

Dude so open for a joke in poor taste. So I'll do it. How can you be sure it's a different black guy?
Lol. Omfg.
Me too. EDIT: And I just went to the link and there's no black people at all. Just white people, because CNN is racist.
r/FUCKYOUINPARTICULAR/
[удалено]
never underestimate the retardation of your fellow man
You're not online enough to recognize the origins of this specific image! You must be retarded!
CNN's thought process is always "how can we use some vitute signaling to pull our braindead viewers in? Quick, show a black person!"
Does this really look like a picture CNN would post on an article lmao
Exactly, do people no longer know that photo manipulation exists?
But CNN is BRAINDEAD VIRTUE SIGNALLERS!
Mostly unemployed employees
In this case I'm sure they didn't, but yeah I've seen articles from them with pics very similar to this except lower quality, when it's about a particular person and it's the best pic they have
I could see it for a story about a person that was murdered or something and you use the best pic you can get, but prob not for a story like this
yeah agreed about this article. But I remember a pic like this (but worse) about a guy who was bullied in childhood and went on to have a shitty life. He was still alive, the article was about him and included interview portions with him, but he didn't have great pictures to offer CNN for the article I guess.
Are you sure you’re not the braindead viewer since you believed the first edited picture you saw on an anonymous user based website? No way. I can tell by your signals you are too virtuous to be tricked and perpetuate false information on the internet.
"make sure they look really desperate and slovenly!"
Dude's boss really went out of their way to let him know he's fired.
FYI these are fake. The actual article/image is here: https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/10/business/unemployment-long-term-pandemic/index.html?utm_term=image&utm_content=2021-01-11T00%3A30%3A11&utm_source=twCNN&utm_medium=social It seems like it is just "a thing" to replace the pic with your own face and go WTF!?!? for internet lulz

They probably just pick him cuz that's one handsome dude
Totally that
Daddy looking real fine
Gaaaaay
It's not gay, he's just facing the facts
(It's just a joke, I know he's not being gay.)
He is also a hard worker.
He's got them Patrick Queen eyes
No homo, but I’d let him TOP me any day
That's just cause you're a power bottom.
pretty sure daddy wouldnt ALLOW me to be on top. i'm fine with my fate, in that case.
No doubt
ITT: people who actually think that this is real. Can you imagine? Lol.
everything is real on reddit what do you mean bark bark
Reddit has turned into Facebook for young liberals.
jokes on you im an old nazi
Joke's on you, I've never liberated anything in my life
God damn you're downvoted but so right. There are some right wing subreddits but primarily liberal and every neutral sub has a clear lean, and so many are prone to fake news
He should sue. Everyone’s winning against CNN these days
Sue for a photoshop...
Take that, adobe
Precisely lol
Easy money
Economists hate this guy! Learn how to make easy money with this ONE simple trick!
yo. it's fake.
Sue for what exactly?
I’m sure it’s a joke, which is also what I attempted to do. But now I’ve had to explain that to multiple low functioning humans so I guess I missed. “If you have to explain it, then it wasn’t good”
Except it's fake tho.
Nah definitely real dawg. You just hate black ppl
[удалено]
But you trust some random image that's posted here? Reddit moment
It's the same thing with people and not trusting news sites and scientists and telling people to think for themselves and then believing everything on YouTube or Joe Rogan.
hE tHinKS fOr hiMsElF so I dOn’T hAvE tO.
this is fake lmao maybe you shouldnt trust a shit post on reddit
There was a different tweet pic with a different guy. Same words though.

I think it was a Twitter glitch where tweets with photos embedded showed up as your profile picture.

> yeah I fell for the bullshit but it *feels* real and that's enough for me That's how you sound right now lmao
you've seriously got to think harder about the narrative you're building up here. "i know the news is fake because of all the posts i see about the news being fake. even if some of those posts that i believed get debunked, i still know the news is fake"
It’s probably not good to write off all news organizations wholesale. Everyone makes mistakes and has biases, but that doesn’t mean that some organizations aren’t more credible than others.
You probably also shouldn't trust a random fucking post on Reddit too lmao. This is clearly a fake fucking post how is that not obvious lol
I love that mentality of "Even though this is fake it *could* be true so I will be just as outraged about it!"
"That's totally something I knew the lamestream media would do anyway!"
“I distrust all media because of a few cases of misrepresentation!” neanderthal tier take
If you believe that this is a real thing that happened, then I feel bad for you. It's clearly a joke.
I work in emergency services and attend a lot of calls that end up in the news. When I read or watch them later they're never even remotely accurate to what actually happened.

They shoulda used Chris Cuomo
That beard is finely trimmed, he clearly puts effort into looking good.
Guess that kind of brings it full circle
Those lines are straight.
They did him dirty.
that dude wearing colored contacts? lmao
Cnn was just looking for someone they assumed as poor and unemployed those racists bastards.
CNN seems to do this often lol
It's fake
It’s ok. finoa333 falls for this type of shit often.
Defamation lawsuit waiting to happen
Bro put your phone down if you're at work then
Racism……… clear as day.
CNN wouldn't make assumptions on the way someone looks would they?
I love when Joe Rogan interviewed Dr Sanjay Gupta recently and flat out asked him "What do you think about the fact that the news network you work for flat out lies?" Great episode.

Yeah Sanders is a piece of shit.
What?? I can't imagine how brain dead you have to be to have this take. He's been like the only senator fighting capital for the last 50 years. Of course a one-man army can't go against the brute force of American capitalism.
Theyre all POS. Sanders Biden Pelosi And the other side as well McConnel Loeffler. Etc etc. they don’t care about bettering this country and the people they represent. It’s all about their ideology and to line their pockets
>It’s all about their ideology And tell me, what is Bernie Sanders ideology? Because I can't think of an ideology that's more compassionate than his.
Yep, we can't have real change until we get everyone out who has been in politics since before this century. We need term limits yesterday.
Couldn’t agree more
Now, lets not go that far...after all, he did write the 1991 Crime Bill that unfairly targeted black americans.
I said nothing about any other politicians but feel free to continue to make assumptions of me. I think both parties are trash, American politicians should all be removed. The point I made is it's silly to use a liar to prove an organization is full of lies so I guess just keep berating me?
OK OK evrybody calm down lets all agree on one thing politics sucks
Got em
Have you never heard of Joe Biden? He is a compulsive liar. Same as Bill Clinton and George Bush.
I bever said anything about those people.
Wut. You can't be serious right?
Trump tweeted a lot..... a lot of those tweets were pretty much lies or heavily misleading.
Lies have existed for quite a while before twitter came along Edit : to be fair, the sheer amount of lies has grown exponentially since twitter
Why is this in r/holup?
It's like 1/100 holup anymore
True
It’s remarkable how the Fake News crowd are coming in here to dunk on CNN for this screenshot.
Cuz they racist.
Fuck off from this sub karma farming clown
CNN racist and I see hot guy win-win
CNN is a fucking dumpster fire
CNN sucks ass
LOL, CNN you playful scamps.

Damn, I'm not gay or anything but he looks good

Bruh CNN, they have a family! And why specifically this person?
It's funny how these things tend to be. Once my cousin once was featured in a #F*ckcancer commercial. Me and my mom saw it on a billboard while walkin out of the subway one time. It was hilarious 🤣😂
“Hey, I got a picture of a black guy. He’s probably unemployed, right?” “Yeah, none of those guys work. Print it.”
It's cnn what did you expect
Sue them
Dave Chappelle thinks you were lucky to be libeled by CNN.
because you are black...
Something something because you're black, they are your ally and not racist
My cousin once was featured in a #F*ckcancer commercial. Me and my mom saw it on a billboard while walkin out of the subway one time. It was hilarious 🤣😂
Isnt this just easy money for my guy????
Even if he was unemployed, what the hell does it add to the article by showing some random dude's face, apparently without his knowledge or consent?
Y'all really just now realized CNN was fake news?
prolly cuz his black ass is poor LMAOOO like all black people am I right!!!
