If you want to see the funny side of Photoshopping and what it can lead to, check out:

I've been getting some good laughs seeing distorted and handicapped people being created in the Photoshop world, attempting to market something, but stumbling in the attempts.

I doubt if anyone will live long enough to read see or interpret anything as objective truth, let alone a photograph.

I agree; as we see in the following, the objective truth is more of a "truth of the day."

Yes - the Soviet press was pretty good at that. As the saying used to go, "There is no truth in Pravda, and no news in Izvestia." (Pravda is the Russian word for truth, and izvestia the word for news.) Unfortunately, I understand the Russian media are falling back into old patterns.
