how the media can manipulate our viewpoint

The colored picture in the middle is the original picture. It is said that the one in the left is from Aljazeera,  an independent broadcaster owned by the state of Qatar and the one in the right is from Fox News. (I can't find the articles which the pictures are quoted so I don't know if they are really from Aljazeera and Fox News).

Using the picture in the left will have very different effect from using the picture in the right. The media can manipulate our viewpoint by showing us only a proportion of the original picture.
