Have newspapers managed to publish a single photograph of people allegedly failing to observe social distancing that *isn& #39;t* a misleading telephoto shot?
This is important because (as I& #39;ve mentioned before) misleadingly creating the impression that people aren& #39;t following the rules makes it more likely that people will break the rules themselves
So it& #39;s good to see this kind of thing today - focusing on the fact while people are out and about, the rules are being obeyed
They’re still at it. This is really quite despicable behaviour https://twitter.com/francis_cade/status/1247074170648891392?s=21">https://twitter.com/francis_c... https://twitter.com/francis_cade/status/1247074170648891392">https://twitter.com/francis_c...
It’s not just the danger of creating the false impression that everyone is out there being irresponsible.
It’s also straightforwardly unpleasant to label a photo of people doing nothing wrong as them “flouting the rules”.
