Admiral Robert Harward experienced a mask malfunction during a recent Fox News interview, with footage showing his face appearing to “completely come apart.” The incident led to the cancellation of a scheduled segment where he was supposed to prove he was not wearing a mask.
Reports indicate that Fox News used a face-tuning filter that caused the glitch. The network canceled Harward’s appearance on Stinchfield’s program after the issue arose.
The site points to advancements in masking technology that allow public figures to alter their appearances. A recent ESPN video demonstrated Eli Manning successfully wearing a fake face for an entire day of football activities, including running and tackling, without being recognized by anyone.
Former CIA Chief of Disguise Jonna Mendez developed highly realistic masks during the Cold War era capable of fooling even high-level officials. The site also cites Joe Biden as an example of a figure whose appearance has reportedly changed over time.
