Photo Manipulation and Ethics

The article talks about how some "reliable" photographers take really unreliable photos to lie about what's really happening.  Some examples include the extra missile trick, flares, and explosions, (all part of a little trick called "clone").  Clone is by far the most commonly used simple trick to lie in photos.
This kind of photo taking is extremely unacceptable.





I sure hope it wasn't an American who made this. Unbelievable.  Someone changed a picture just for drama or to make America look bad... oh wait, everyone does that.  Still: not cool.  No explanation needed for why this photo is unethical.







Oh no! the teeth are different! It's the end of the world!  It's dumb, sure, change the teeth for a few hundred bucks, or leave them the same.  Of course, is it really a surprise that they would make people on a magazine titled "we're trusting in god" look good?  oh course it isn't!  Also unlike the original, they show the 2 all professional with douche bag smiles, unlike the original in which they look like normal people.  Time has it right, and thus it is more popular than Newsweek.  This is the most unethical in my opinion because it is just trying to look presentable, not change our views completely. Oh wait one more thing: They made their hair look nicer and they took away the woman's dimples.  Come on man!  Don't persuade the corrupt world forged by us humans!
