It still represents the policy perfectly, I think, and so does the TIME cover.
Ahh....but it doesn't.
And neither did the other fake photo of the small boy in a cage, or the other photo of a group of kids in a cage.
All were fake. All were used to exploit the subject matter to make you think it was something it was not.
Do you really want the media to do this?
To use faked photos both on purpose, or by accident via failure to vet a photo, to create emotion on a real story?
Really?
Saying it is wrong to exploit this 2 year old's image does not mean you cave in on your belief that separating the children in the manner they did was now okay.
It is two SEPARATE issues.
And dishonestly using images to support a narrative is wrong, even if the narrative itself is right.
