Who Instructed The BBC/CNN To DIGITALLY COLOUR CORRECT The Footage Coming Out Of The Iraq War?

[HistoryIsComplex]

Back when the Iraq war was raging, I couldn't help but notice something:

 

- Whenever footage from IRAQ was shown, the color hue of the video footage was a strange reddish/brown with not very good contrast, as if IRAQ ITSELF actually looks reddish/brown.

 

- Journalists back in those days used EXPENSIVE BetaCam SP Broadcast Cameras with a great-quality IMAGE SENSOR. Those cameras do NOT shoot a reddish/brown image if you adjust them correctly.

 

I couldn't help but think "My God. They are making Iraq look like some reddish-brown, rusty-dusty camel-desert." when viewing the pictures from Iraq on BBC/CNN.

 

Was this done deliberately to PUT PSYCHOLOGICAL DISTANCE between NORMALLY COLOURED VIDEOS OF EUROPE/THE U.S. and REDDISH-BROWN DESERT BACKWATER IRAQ?

 

 

Here's an example of the reddish-brown image I am talking about:

That and trying to show  Iraq and it's people angry at the illegal invasion as just a bunch of backward un-educated peasants, who want to kill all westerners.

I'm trying to find good examples of the BBC coverage, but haven't yet.

 

I kept watching the BBC at the time and thinking "WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS COLOUR CORRECTION THEY ARE APPLYING? WHY DOES EVERYTHING LOOK RUSTY-RED-BROWN."

Yeah it looks alien, marshan, like we're looking at Mars and as you said it psychologically feels distant so we that are less inclined towards understanding, empathy and thus involve and discovery.
