Not necessarily. One snip gives an example of a positive quality of the person in question paired with a positive leaning photo. The other gives no such example of quality (and in fact uses authoritarian language as a way of swaying opinion) paired with a photo doctored to (at least in my mind) resemble historically negative figureheads.
This is a form of bias and propaganda.
Again, this just points to how you interpreted this image based off your cognitive bias. To you, one photo is positive, another is negative. That’s interesting. I don’t denote their differences as being positive or negative. They just are to me. There is no objective view of these things.
Both Trump and JD Vance has used straight up Hitlarian Rhetoric such as 'Immigrants are poisoning the blood of our country.' If anything, the media is downplaying the differences and Fascism of the Republican party.
The bias and propaganda of Western Media to manufacture consent for our Foreign policy actions would be a much better example
