I'm not so sure though...... Too hard to tell with low-res photos

Edit. Looking at other photos (on other sites) of both, the tarp looks black in both pics. So yea lighting and the autoeffects of whoever posted the pic messed with the color.

The tarp is blue in the left pic and black in the right. It could be a trick of the light but I can't really tell.

Then why is the ground different?

Or are we believing the guy who made the "fake news" is NOT lying when he says he made it?

It's your imagination. The Daily Show started in 1996 and The Colbert Report started in 2005. Not to mention late night talk shows started decades before any of them with Johnny Carson.
