I'ts worth noting that the Bush Whitejhouse has pushed editorializing the photo-op to new heights, as with the now-infamous aircraft carrier photographs with the "Mission Accomplished" banner, and the carrier sailing in circles waiting for the prez to fly in in his flight suit to proclaim victory with the right audience and the right scenery in the background and American flags all around.

Staging events like that, and the shots of Bush serving turkey in Iraq (and it wasn't a real turkey, it was in fact a prop turkey) fall into the category of propaganda and not editorial work. .
