Their value to the people they are supposed to be influencing, yes. The
value to the distributors, or the powers behind them, no.
Since the advent of digital processing and modification who can tell
what is true or not, people edited out of, or into, images, shifted
to backgrounds where they've never been - the possibilities are endless.
