President Joe Bidenâs use of dark red imagery in his Thursday Independence Hall Speech may have been subtly altered in CNNâs broadcast.
The Establishment media cable news channel appeared to adjust the dark-red lighting to a more pleasant tone.
At one moment in CNNâs broadcast of the Speech, the tone of the lighting changed within seconds.
The red coloration of stripes on the American flag appeared to shift to a lighter, more purple tone.
Biden deliveredattacks on âMAGA Republicansâ in the speech, referring to them as a threat to American democracy.
The president mentioned âMAGA Republicansâ ten times, making further references to âMAGA forcesâ and âMAGA ideology.â
The optics of the Speech â delivered outside the building in which American patriots signed the Declaration of Independence â drew criticism for its harsh tone.
Some viewers questioned the use of dark red lighting in the Speech, describing the imagery as authoritarian.
Biden appeared in front of two Marines in the Speech.
Former White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany criticized Bidenâs use of a âhellish red backgroundâ in the fiery address, according to Fox News.
The lighting even drew comparisons to the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany â two brutal dictatorships that made use of red colors in state imagery.
Contrasting images before and after the apparent lighting change appear to demonstrate a change in CNNâs broadcast settings.
Sped-up video of the segment of Bidenâs Speech in question appears to demonstrate the color change even more clearly.
đş Embedded media â coming soon
CNN hasnât responded to the claims it changed the coloration of its broadcast of the Speech.
