I believe the photo was what we call symbolism.  Meaning, they put a crying baby into a picture with Trump standing and looking down with no compassion as a symbol of what this administration is doing.  Did anyone really believe they stood together to take this picture?

Symbolism of lying maybe. They made a "correction" after the dad told on them which means either they lied about the situation the photo was taken or were wrong about it.

Well yes and no.  

How can a picture lie.  Would it be any different if they just posted a headline that says Trump administration mandates taking children away from their parents.  What if they just found a photo of the crying children within the containment camps and photograph them, oh I forgot, they cannot get access because they will not let them.  The photo is used to illustrate what the article is talking about.  Really, its not like this is new to any publication and has been used throughout history.  Now, if you can refute what the text within the article says, that's a whole different issue.  Trying to saying the photo is lying without actually reading the article is straw man politics.  Is the article wrong based on its portrayal of the facts concerning the issue.
