A picture is worth a thousand words  is old adage. In modern world, scores of photo editing tools and pictures exist on even smartphones and one has the power to alter the picture of reality in minutes, making the same picture say several sets of thousand words.

In today's video podcast, you will see a powerful dictator (ab)using the power of photo editing for rewriting  history, propoganda and image building. I like to call him the original father of photoshopping.
