Leavitt Photo Removal Sparks Streisand Effect Outrage
A photograph of Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, taken by AFP photographer Andrew Caballero-Reynolds during a Thanksgiving-themed press briefing, was removed from circulation after the White House expressed disapproval of its angle. AFP confirmed they were “made aware” of the White House’s concerns, though they stated the removal was an internal editorial decision based on quality standards. This incident follows similar actions by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, highlighting a pattern of the current administration taking issue with unflattering press imagery.
