    There is legitimate reason to pick a shot that fits a news article. But it should always be remembered it’s just a click in time and more info could tell various stories.https://twitter.com/michael4tune/status/1006193263160807424 …

    Considering consumer available digital cameras can produce 16 frames per second it's easy to see a professional shooting for @washingtonpost can review a plethora of images taken in a very short time & pick the one that tells the story they want to tell #Picture_1000_Words #Fake

        That photo was taken by Merkel's office. When it went online it went viral on social media, so the wire services picked it up and sent it out. Whatever your point of view, it is a striking image.

        Why are there still staccato shutter sounds during press sprays? Are all these pros using cameras with mechanical shutters?

        Replying to @bigtimcavanaugh @SharylAttkisson

        Probably because the SLR's the photographers are using are like appendages to many of them ... used for years ... just a guess though ... also a pro digital camera is probably upwards of $4K just for the body

        No doubt ... one just needs to be perspicacious enough to determine if photo in question comes from a source that regularly editorializes via image or one that chooses the best photo for publication based on objective composition… In today's press…not sure that's easy to find

        A 15 second gif would clarify these snapshot moments. Maybe a new medium in online news?

        They can do it with video screen grabs, too--like the time Trump was doing his usual (admittedly juvenile) waving his arms around thing during the campaign and the MSM found the one that sort of matched up with the position of that reporter's paralyzed arm.

        You need to do a lot more reading on the Kitchen Debate... there were numerous moments of heated ideological disagreement... a photo of such a moment of IS an accurate characterization of that event ...

        If I may: This is how I've always seen "Standardized Testing." It's a snapshot. Same child, two different days goes to be tested: Year 1 he/she #nailedit! Year 2, before school call comes from Aunt Bea; grandma died... ...the scores will be lower...maybe he/she #wreckedit?

        Additionally, one should never forget to take into account the bias of the source. This is easier to do nowadays, because biases are not concealed nearly as well as they used to be.

        That also was done on the Trudeau's eyebrows-gate. I love poking fun at the Left, but that one was quickly debunked.

        The media's curation of the news is too heavily influenced by its political views.
