Ethical Vs. Unethical Manipulations

Ethical Vs. Unethical Manipulations
 I would say this manipulation of OJ Simpson is the most unethical. They made his skin and eyes darker to make him seem more like a criminal that needed to be locked up forever and no matter what he did, I think it is unethical to change his appearance to make people have an even worse impression of him. Not to mention making his skin darker in order to make him scarier could be seen as slightly racist...
I would say that this photo it speaks of in the article where all that is manipulated is that shot of a tiny portion of somebody's legs is the least unethical. The photographer had no need for that part of the photo and it is so small that you can't tell who the person is, so it's not offensive that the person is being removed or anything of that nature. The fact that you would lose your job for removing that small unimportant part of the photo seems a bit crazy to me; I don't see that manipulation as unethical.
