The original photograph was taken in 2002 when President George W. Bush was visiting George Sanchez Charter School in Houston. An unknown person altered the second picture, flipping the book in Bush’s hands, and it was widely distributed online.What statement might the unknown manipulator have been trying to make about President Bush? Why do you think this photograph was so widely distributed prior to its being discredited? How does this image relate to the photo manipulation practiced in the Soviet Union (described on p. 519)?
