Hello Wikipedia, normally your pages are easy to read. This one is very long and has no table of contents or way to easily navigate it. Sorry I can't help. [[User:HeretoCriticize|HeretoCriticize]] ([[User talk:HeretoCriticize|talk]]) 21:54, 26 February 2024 (UTC)
''Intentionally deceptive photoshopped image of Hillary Clinton over a 1977 photo of Peoples Temple cult leader Jim Jones''


== The History section is missing the Cold War entirely... ==
It should read "doctored" or "altered" rather than "photoshopped". There's nothing here to indicate any particular brand of software was used, if any, or if this manipulation was the result of conventional photographic techniques.

this article begs for an explanation of the term. Google’s Ngram indicates it began to appear in 2001 but wasn’t used much. It really took off in 2013. Can anyone suggest where it came from and why it suddenly became a buzzword? In particular, it appears to precede the Trump presidency.

As you probably know, fake news was a topic this historian dealt with while he was in the trenches in the World War: as a historian he considered that it was not enough for his profession to dismiss them as "okay they are not true, so we are not interested in them," but that they themselves should be the subject of study.
