In chapter six of Jenkins, he talks about photoshop and politics. As todays case study showed, photoshop can play a big role in politics. People turn politics or something positive into something it doesn't mean or imply at all. Many clips or images are turned around to go against a certain political group. Here is just one link to the many different video clips made on the many different political issues and debates. There are several more out there if you simply just type it into google or other search engines. Photos are also made to change things within politics. It doesnt just go towards politics either. Everyday photos or issues can be altered with photoshop, adobe, or flash. With the technology we have today, many things can be altered and transformed from its original version. This can have either a negative or positive impact. It may cause for issues but it may also clear some things up. It really depends upon what is being altered and how it is altered.
