I was in DC when all that was going on, and the level of indignation around the water cooler was pretty high, though. I think the NG editor said retrospect that they had made a mistake (which they made again about 10 years later but that's another story...). There are all kinds of manipulation stories, some pretty outrageous, and then there are the just plain faked photos, like the one at Kent State that won the Pulitzer.

I don't have a problem if a photo is marginally manipulated, but, for example, what CBS did to Katie Couric (making her look thinner) was overstepping. I guess I have a line that shouldn't be crossed, but I don't really know where that line is. I know it when I see it, though, and it depends largely on the situation. Was that non-committal enough?
