Once you start paying attention to this, it can no longer be unseen. If they don’t like someone, they’ll use a bad picture of them and vice versa. It’s a good tell even if the article itself seems neutral.

I think the point was more along the lines of “what if the person you’re reporting on always looks bad, do you need to go out of your way to achieve ‘balance?’”
That’s definitely part of what I meant. A mistake (not only in my opinion) many European media outlets made wrt far-right populism.
