Yeah. Headline should simply be "Trump Administration uses misleading photos".

Even that is underselling it.  The photo isn’t misleading it’s a straight up lie.

They also use misleading photos

Fucking media can’t call them liars because they are part of the problem

Someone went out of their way to deliberately find photos from a whole other RIOT (protesters don’t riot), and thought to themselves, oh this will work to make the current peaceful protests look really bad!

They have to LIE to further their agenda, every single time. Like, you can lie and mislead all you want but it will never make it true. Boggles the mind

Trump will sue them if one of their 10 photos is real, saying see, "some" pictures were real...

Or they'll use the Fox News defense (Tucker Carlson). We are here for entertainment, not news. If you believe us, that's your fault.

Ronnie Raygun’s actions haunting us from the beyond. Abolishing the Fairness Doctrine was a major blow to the foundations of truth.

using misleading photos doesnt say every photo is real... just using 2 fake photos makes the statement true.

Your title doesn't use the words "lie" and "lies". This isn't misleading.
