The Problem with Digital Manipulation

As we see from these two images taken by American Photographer Allan Detrich in 2007, the problem with manipulating a moment in time, is that it fundamentally alters the truth, misleading the viewer.
Certainly in the case of the press, they have a moral duty to report the truth. Detrich's serial manipulation of the facts of his image, lead ultimately to his resignation from the Toledo Blade fro whom he worked. Detrich had previously won a Pulitzer Prize for his works.
