A very good example. There was a pic being passed around that showed two cops carrying an old woman away and it was assumed that they were arresting her when in fact, they were carrying her to an ambulance to get some water and medical care (it was in the 90's this weekend in Chicago). Withut the context of what really happened, misinformation was spread.

There are no "incorrect facts". If it is incorrect, it is either a lie, a misconception, spin or disinformation - not a fact. A photo is also not a "fact". It is a photo. And you cannot determine a fact from it unless you are aware of the context, and know with certainty that it has not been doctored. Taking a picture of someone sitting on the ground at a protest and labeling them as a dirty, unemployed hippie is not a fact. They might have simply dropped by during their lunch break, or maybe they work the night shift. Unless you have 100% of the back story on everyone you photographed, and you insist your clients only use them in context of that back story, your pictures are just propaganda tools for whoever chooses to use them.
