The "uncropped" frame was still a selective view, one that the

certain that the context of the uncropped picture was faithful to the
actual event, so why should we be worried by the editorial crop?
The photographer didn't crop it. The magazine did, and the
photographer was displeased.
It was a boring picture of a bunch of people including Dick Cheney.
It became a boring picture of DIck Cheney, who AFAIAC is the only
notable person in the scene. Nothing remarkable was happening before
the crop, and nothing sinister was falsely implied by the cropping.
Not true. Rather than a picture of a luncheon, it was turned into a
picture of Cheney carving something that appeared to be bloody. It was
clearly editorializing. Not surprising, coming from Newsweek, which
frequently seems to have an agenda.
There are things in the world to worry about that are genuinely evil,
this isn't one of them.

Is it OK to crop a picture to make an editorial point? The answer's
not obvious. See
