Media Manipulation happens all the time in our daily life and people are rarely aware of it. This project was built for helping people to realize the process of media manipulation by recreating those manipulations upon some manipulated news in an exaggerated way.

We picked those four famous American news that had some debates, utilizing face tracking via Kinect, either blurring news and popping up some pictures that have strong bias or we selected some bias words to make them clear while other informations are blurred.
