The easiest thing in the world to Photoshop is a white rectangle. Anyone with Microsoft Paint can easily cut away what was on the rectangle and replace it with new text. It takes no computer or design skills whatsoever. Which is why it’s never a good idea as a public person to go on TV and hold up a large white note card … like the one Kellyanne Conway held up last night during an interview with Sean Hannity to push back on charges of collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign:

Her point was that there’s no proof of collusion “yet”:

It was a fun segment and Kellyanne was delivering for Hannity audience, but that’s not how the media picked it up:
