selectovision (meme)

A political cartoon depicting one man brandishing a knife and chasing another, with a third man recording the two on a video camera. Through the video camera, it appears as though the man being chased is threatening the actual aggressor with a knife, reversing the reality of the situation.

The original cartoon was a work by David Suter called Selectovision, published in 1985. Online, the image is often circulated with the text "It's Media" or "The Media Shows You What They Want".
