andrew, I have to agree with you. Unfortunately, we are living in an era of unprecedented media manipulation. The mass media often feeds us fake news stories that include deliberately misleading photo images. Altered computerized images are another source of false information that can cause us to literally "not trust our own eyes".

With inflation these days, I'm thinking a picture must be now worth at least six thousand words...

Hi Andrew, I agree that a picture tells a story just as well as a large amount of descriptive text. For example a photo from a war zone will tell you a lot about suffering, destruction and the helplessness of citizens.

Depends on the pic I guess! :P

Why would it be a lie? I don't get your thinking here.
