Pictures That Lie

I chose to discuss the manipulated picture of Bush's note in which he writes, "I think I may need a bathroom break. Is this possible?" I chose this particular photo because I believe it is a good example of an altered picture that was not used to deceive or harm anyone. A company called Reuters owned up to overexposing the note so that it would be easier to read. I do not believe this manipulation was harmful; they did did not change the content or context of the note nor did they try to hurt anyone. The company simply made what was already there more apparent.
