After a Los Angeles-based photographer accused 60 Minutes of purposely altering the color to make former White House chief strategist Steven Bannon look like a bleary-eyed drunk in an interview, journalism experts were quick to throw shade on the colorful conspiracy theory.

In a new YouTube video, Peter Duke theorized that CBS technicians increased saturation on the shots of Bannon to make his eyes and lips red.

Duke, whose online portfolio includes photo sets dedicated to Making America Great Again and to Butthurt Losers, pointed to the orange curtains in the background as a key piece of evidence.

He said the curtains are brighter orange behind Bannon than in shots of interviewer Charlie Rose.

By comparison, the video of Rose is altered to look cooler to downplay his makeup, he said.

In his clip, Duke adjusted the video clips of Bannon and Rose to show how the saturation affects their looks.
