That isn't an "edit". That is a "crop".

An "edit" changes what's in the photo to something that is not. And there's NO WAY this is "photoshopping", NOR is it the state "putting out political propaganda". The crop was doing the opposite of that, preventing political propaganda from having the state's name on it, which is entirely reasonable. They SHOULD crop it.

They have no reason to apologize. I crop every one of my photos to cut out extraneous info, and I apologize to no one.

The original photo, a boy wearing a ‘Trump 2020’ shirt and a ‘Trump 2020’ hat was cropped and there was a slight edit on the hat, so you could only see the ‘2020’ part.

Shortly after, MoDOT Northeast District issued an apology with the original photo. ‘We apologize for the error in judgment in editing this photo.

Apparently their standards were a little higher and they apologized for "editing"... I can't imagine you apologizing for much anyway...

The left can't contain their hate of our president, shameful.

Sorry POGO, your narrative doesn’t hold. First, they have admitted that it was an edit. Secondly, if they cropped because of space, then they should have cropped from the bottom to get more of the bridge which is part of the subject matter. They clearly didn’t want the hat, and were willing to sacrifice the bridge in the picture to keep the hat out.

The Definitive Guide To Cropping And Resizing Images
Cropping is cutting off a portion of your image to improve framing, put emphasis on your subject, or change the aspect ratio. This kind of photo manipulation allows you to keep all the elements you want and eliminate the ones you don't.

The FAKE NEWS has infected government with their corruption.

Republicans were so well mannered while Obama was in office.

Crop? How do you crop someone's shirt? In what world, does cropping involve your shirt being removed?

This is how you know you are dealing with partisan idiots. If this was during the Obama campaign, and some boy won a contest, and they edited out "Change you can Believe in 2008".... so it just said "2008", you people on the left, would be flipping out.

They actually printed the young man's name and where he was from... Questionable in my opinion to do that... The TDS's have a history of picking on the young...

‘Thanks MoDOT for admitting you made a mistake. Proud of you!’ One person said on the post.

‘I sure hope this young man don’t read some of these comments. He’s a young man who won a contest. He wore what he wanted, I’m sure there was no dress code. It’s ridiculous that there is always bashing and bullying. This is not about Trump, this is about a boy who got to help demolish the bridge,’ Another person said.

5 On Your Side reached out to MoDOT for a statement Monday morning, but have not heard back.

I don't give a flying fuck what term they used erroneously while being led around by the nose by fascistic PC crossing guards, a crop is a crop and an edit is an edit.

Don't sit here and lecture me on what a crop is. I've been doing it since probably before you learned to speak. This is a crop, and it's clearly done to **REMOVE** the political bullshit from the original photo. They could have airbrushed it out but that would be an EDIT. Not what they did. And btw your own Cropping for Dummies quote notes cropping, and I quote, "allows you to keep all the elements you want and eliminate the ones you don't". Whelp, that's exactly what they did -- cut out a partisan political message out of a state-business communication that doesn't allow for it because it's supposed to be IMPARTIAL. DUH.

The Commonwealth of Missouri, or any other of the 57 states, DOES NOT TAKE political positions. That's why the crop was made, and it should have stayed that way.

PERIOD.

But it does speak volumes that you partisan hack dweeboids want to FORCE your claptrap propaganda onto state business, as long as it's your own claptrap and not the other "tribe", amirite fucknutz?
