Photoshopped fakes of Donald Trump, nature and airplanes in lying clickbait

Phony photos continue to be the milkshake that brings all the boys to the yard. They are used in lying clickbait to draw curious web surfers.
My latest installment on lying clickbait looks at such Photoshopped fakes.
Let’s get started.

A recent article distributed by Revcontent was titled “15 photos Donald Trump tried to keep from the public.” It featured a Photoshopped picture of the current president golfing. The picture was altered to give Trump a bigger belly. Included here are the lying clickbait article and the original photo for comparison.

Another Revcontent article was titled “60 unedited nature photos – This is not Photoshop.” Wrong! It featured a Photoshopped fake. The photo of a bear growling and peering into a tent was a composite created for a Photoshop contest. It has been debunked by Snopes.com and Tvurce.

Finally, a recent article distributed by Outbrain was titled “The F-15 is no match for this plane.” It used a picture of a fake aircraft purported to have a dual fuselage design. The original photo is of a Russian Antonov An-124 heavy transport aircraft. It has been Photoshopped to have two or three fuselages. (See article by Popular Mechanics.)
