Victorian MP Georgie Purcell has criticized Nine News for photoshopping an image of her to make it more revealing, by enlarging her breasts and exposing her stomach, before broadcasting it on a TV news bulletin. Channel 9 has issued an apology for the 'graphic error', which they attributed to an AI tool in the Photoshop editing platform. Purcell expressed that she felt 'really, really uncomfortable' with the altered image and is not convinced by the explanation that automation was to blame. Software company Adobe has made a major call disparaging Nine News' explanation. The incident has sparked a broader discussion on the media's treatment of female politicians and the need for better protection against such sexist portrayals.
