    Interesting description because there are so many ways to look at this piece of propaganda. The initial view of the title with the image kind of riles up the viewer by approaching the pathos angle of emotion, but reading the caption below switches to using facts to further explain the creator's view (facts which are oddly specific). Very interesting combination and use of the news media being the center of the photo but not the main focus originally to get the point across.
