Almost as bad as all of the newspapers dying. The necessity to go overboard to attract attention is behind the photo manipulations. Today we depend on Fox and CNN for our news and our photos of what is happening in the world. Most of the news and all of the photos are provided by i reporters or i photographers who provide their "art" for free to get their names in print. All of the news is centered on "celebrities" or whatever story happens to get the most clicks. What in the world can we do about all of that? I'm planting tomatoes, peas, peppers, corn, okra and spinach. At least I know they will come up as expected! Tina Tina Manley www.tinamanley.com
