Harris Campaign, AI Crowd Images and Media Narratives
The Harris-Walz campaign is accused of using AI-generated or deceptively cropped photos to inflate crowd sizes at airplane hangar events. While an Associated Press photo was identified as the source of one controversial image, no direct evidence confirms the campaign officially posted the doctored versions. Media figures like Michael Steele and Joy Reid are noted for claiming these tactics are successfully "getting under the skin" of Donald Trump.

00:01 Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak This is no agenda I spent a significant time looking at that yesterday. That? At the throngs of people
00:42 Well, there's more than one or two examples. Here is the only thing I cannot find any evidence the Harris campaign has actually posted any of these pictures seems to me that people are making them and then saying look what they posted! Does that include the airplane one? Yeah, which is my favorite. Yeah the airplane I found the origin of the airplane one It's an AP picture and The way it was done Is there I guess they're copying everything The Harris campaign Harris waltz Hey Waltz campaign hairy balls Harry There you go hairy balls their
01:29 They're doing hangar appearances. So it was a shot that was cropped, it was a shot from the back of a hanger that was cropped and that by itself already gives an illusion that people are all the way up to the plane And then you know there's probably some other stuff put in there but I did Google image, I tried everything I could...I couldn't find any evidence that the Harris campaign The Harry Balls campaign actually posted that picture That's my problem with it I haven't done that research and uh, i think a lot of this stuff eventually will originate on Facebook so you'd have to go to Facebook to do this and you don't know. That's a good point that's a good point some producers have been looking for me and they they haven't got much further than the AP picture either although it doesn't look like the AP picture has been doctored
02:23 But there's a lot of shenanigans going on. There's, you know... They're doing appearances in free concerts with some Spotify Latino star and then they'll do a little pregame so yeah but ultimately it's kind of working because I think Trump is responding oh that's not true it's fake! So they're kind of getting under his skin with all this nonsense That's a meme What's it mean? I'm not absolutely sure they're getting under his skin, but i keep hearing that on CNBC and yeah well now or CNN and MSNBC that he's getting under his skin. In fact today that guy Steele the black guy who used to be a Republican... He used to be the head of the Republican Party! Yeah which was a sign of a bad sign since he never was a Republican it seems now he is the substitute host for Jen Psaki
03:21 Well of course, he's always on MSNBC. He does Sunday mornings with Robin Sanders who used to run the Bernie campaign Oh yeah! He is always on that show So this morning he was going on and about getting under Trumps skin I thought he had responded to the crowd size. I don't have proof of that, but I do have proof of them saying that and now you mention it right away we have to discredit it
