Sacramento Photojournalist fired for image manipulation

[Mainecoonmaniac]

But the photojournalist was editing the photos to be beautiful for our good! We don't want to see the world as ugly. What's wrong with Disneyfying everything? Reality is so harsh. The photographer is doing us a favor

The very last bit was the best..."100,000,000 kids are being exposed to harmful levels of stupidity in their own homes. The effects of second-hand ignorance on our next "In the Know"

Film could be manipulated in the same way, internegs, sandwiching, etc, just impractical in photojournalism, but theoretically possible.

Any folks who have been around longer know of any such cases of alterations when film was king? Pre2000?
