The sad thing is that the Times series hints that photographic "truth" was subject to manipulation from the beginning, mostly driven by a desire to make money or suit some editorial or political purpose.

Lea and John P,

Thanks for the NYT series URL.

There is a scenic stream my large format pals are fond of shooting that
has some stones that seem to magically change position over time.  Thy
also hate utility lines and spend hours deleting them. Such fraud
shouldn't be tolerated!

It is a wonder in these cynical, digi-times how many still think photos
are anything but illustrations.
On the negative side, I often wonder about what will happen when the
cultural memory of film is so dimmed the original photo mystique
regarding "truth" and, to me, a large component of photographic art is
lost.
