This is a weirdly specific and awfully crazy thing to have to worry about but... is anyone else concerned that news organizations constantly using photos of Gre*ne wearing masks with crazy ideas on them is in effect amplifying her crazy ideas?
As someone super obsessed with share card images and what belongs on them vs what doesn't... perhaps we should consider if open graph/header images with things like 'Stop the St*al' are effectively retweets/mini-op-eds?
If readers only read headlines and look at the image on Facebook... isn't any image of her basically telling the story as much, if not more, than any headline? And if that image is dominated with a weird conspiracy message on her mask (clearly readable) aren't we... spreading it?
I just obsess over share card images (I know others do too) and editorial choices inherent in what may be the only exposure someone gets to a piece, if they never click through to the full article; and these images are just popping out to me as worrisome.
Especially because she is *clearly* wearing these masks with these messages *specifically* to have them captured by the press. Her audience for these messages is not other people in Congress, it's us, the public. This is basically giving her free op-ed space in every publication.
