      I’d like the context of photo please. I am not history-learned. Only spark-notes-of-history-acquainted.

        I’m not sure of the origin of the photo but it’s been around for some years now as a meme showing how media can be manipulative.

          Ah I understand now. I filtered out the two photos on the side, figuring they were just an aesthetic choice.

            I’m too used to vertical videos having weird effects on the side to not make the screen look empty, that I completely missed the point of the pic.
