Apparently, Alex Pretti wasn’t pretty enough for MS NOW. Someone at the network took a portrait of Pretti and gave the late activist a macho martyr’s makeover. The ‘new’ Alex Pretti made his debut on Nicolle Wallace’s show. While the fake photo aired, she lectured her minuscule audience that President Donald Trump wants Americans not to trust what they see. D’oh!
Check this out. (WATCH)

Genuinely embarrassing. Pretending they’re the “eyes and ears” network now. Give me a break, lady. pic.twitter.com/cyZI5f1ECz

Wow, they made him much more appealing

We thought he was a nurse, not a plastic surgeon.
Commenters say they know why MS NOW chose to broadcast the deceptive snapshot.
They didn’t want him to look like a skinny pale vegan nut (I’m not sure if he was, but that’s first impression). They completely altered him, materially changing everything about him

They have him a full blown nose job and tan.

They learned their lesson with Luigi Mangione. Liberal women only get excited when they're pretty.

It’s sad but true.
Commenters took turns pretending to be in charge of graphics at MS NOW.
Update, this is the real photo. For reals. pic.twitter.com/9IAxllrD8u

Who is he?
Kinda more like white Jesus

Sadly, some leftists see him like that.
Apparently, Paul Rudd has been cast in the upcoming Alex Pretti biopic.

Coming to Netflix this fall.
Commenters say this isn’t the first time a cable ‘news’ network manipulated a photo.
See what the Media does?

Everything they do is to manipulate.
To propagandize.
They truly are the enemy of the people. pic.twitter.com/uOMKm4tkqu
Making Joe Rogan look like he had Scurvy is an all timer.

That’s unreal. I remember the Rogan one but OMG the new one. You don’t hate them enough.
— SatoriVerdure (@SatoriVerdure) January 27, 2026
I do admire the consistency and their absolute devotion to churning out propaganda.

You think you loathe the legacy media enough, but you don’t. Not even close.

The lying and deception are so blatant. Did MS NOW think we wouldn’t notice that they manipulated Pretti’s portrait when we’ve seen over a dozen real photos of him since his shooting? Apparently, they did.
