"Russia’s Channel One aired a segment yesterday about Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s recent meeting with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un. But one part of the news broadcast was pretty weird. Take a look at Kim’s face in the screenshot on the left. Kim has been photoshopped to look like he’s smiling. And it’s not even a very good photoshop job.

The strange photoshopped image aired on “News of the Week” with Dmitry Kiselyov on Channel One, a popular TV news channel that’s backed by the Kremlin. Channel One is a bit like America’s PBS, if PBS made veiled death threats against “traitors.”

First spotted by Fake_MIDRF, a pro-Ukraine Twitter account that spots fakes in Russian media, you can really see the difference in the photo posted to Twitter by Russia’s Foreign Ministry, and the photo that was played on Russian TV, which is available on YouTube."

People of Russia: You know you have BIG problems when your leaders think it's that important to fake a weak smile.

I'm wondering if anybody thought that these two images might have been taken a few seconds from each other, and the smile was legit. I dunno. Must be a slow news day.

Do Right, Be Right. :)

If I showed the image you would have missed a chance to be a dick and JSF would have missed a chance to ask for a linky.
