At one point they blacked out the pictures but with better technology they photoshopped the people out. I guess the first is ok, but the second not. The curse of technology. Personally, I'd like to have read the original article to see if there was clear deception or not. Did they say Clinton was there or not? What was actually said. If the picture didn't show Clinton but the article said she was there then any accusation of deception goes out the window. But I didn't see the original and I my understanding of Yiddish is limited at best. Maybe my mother-in-law can find a copy somewhere and translate it for me. I'll send her the article as it stands to see what the caption says.
When a picture has a cation and context, the entire caption and context has to be preserved or else the picture loses the related meaning. CNN should have presented the caption in full translation.
