    How is it legal for newspapers to fabricate parts of a photo and share it around as news?

    Meanwhile we can’t even use copyrighted material to make parody.

      It really shouldn’t be, FOX news photoshopped the same image of a random dude with a gun into multiple different photos to try and push fear mongering and there are still people who believe it.

      They probably would have believed it without the photo, but it sure as hell doesn’t help.
