Times of Malta, TVM News, their graphics and Mpox

Analysing in depth in write-ups the graphics of both local and international media portals can be quite tempting.

Event through the graphics chosen, the media would be hinting at a specific line of thought or reaction, and very often, the graphics are as misleading as their articles. Some are quite ludicrous too, making the whole reading experience as farcical as it can get.

By graphics, in newspaper terminology, it is meant the photographs that should be making the article more interesting, while, supposedly adding understanding of the story and entice the people to read the write-up.

I have one simple question to Times of Malta and TVM News. Why is it that in the below two articles of yours, your graphics show a skin colour which pertains to people from the Mother Continent?

I am sure that these two portals’ reply would be: “Because the first human case of monkeypox was recorded in 1970 in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, which then spread to other central and western African countries.”

But, considering that the minute we speak against the multicultural agenda, the media calls us racists, can we conclude that Times of Malta and TVM News are being racists when they connect Mpox to African people, considering that we have African invaders amongst us? Shouldn’t the argument go both ways in the double standards practise these days?

In addition, can we also deduce that Times of Malta and TVM News are being prime instigators for more tension to escalate between the Maltese people and the Sand People? Aren’t these kind of graphics instilling mental images in the masses that monkeypox is to be associated with Africans?

Once you click on both articles, your eyes are met with photographs that are different:

Were they enlightened of the double standards that they were using throughout their propaganda and narrative, and changed the photographs so to show Mpox infected skin which is of a paler colour?

The media is the true virus leaving pockmarks.
