So the photographer never adds anything personal, no subjective choice, no point of view? I don�t believe you. I still ask if we should stop believing the honest photographer when he changes the picture without removing it from his interpretation of the truth.
Of course the news organization plays a similar part and the same question applies to them.
The one difference is that everyone realizes the viewfinder/lens itself limits what can be shown in a single shot and therefore people intuitively know there's more than meets the eye when shown a photograph.
On the other hand, people in general expect to be told the *whole* truth (as far as known) when it comes to news reporting.
