All news is edited. It's not a problem, though, to get "honest" news, if you exercise a little common sense and skepticism.
Your example isn't a good one, though. There's nothing wrong with perhaps choosing a picture from another day to illustrate the same thing.
One good way is to watch what the lead stories are. If the lead stories are inconsequential lurid tragedies in another city or heart-warming human-interest stories, I steer clear. If an interviewer is asking Trump a sweet, low-key question to allow him to brag, I steer clear. Presumably you are aware of the constant fire-storm around Trump, so I would be skeptical of anything praising him unilaterally. I do pretty well with PBS, and BBC.
You guys & your endless cries of "fake news" has grown beyond old.
What cracks me up about these guys is that their right wing sources are always going on about some scandal on the left. Then of course nothing ever happens because there is no substance to it and they start screaming "cover up."
Then the right wing media breaks another "left wing scandal" and the process repeats itself. Each new scandal gets their audiences' mind of the scandal before that never happened.
I'm no fan of Trump, but it seems that our news media has gone to war with him. One can say that the news media is liberal and they can't stand Trump's xenophobia but I think that it's not that simple. Remember that Trump is not a globalist.
Pat Buchanan was not a globalist. The media destroyed him.
Can't find video of an man screaming "he's an extremist" on youtube.

Some say that there was a threat to disrupt his daughter's wedding. When Perot suspended his campaign polls had him almost even with Bush and Clinton.
Not only did they play it over and over, they tempered the crowd noise. I know some people who were in that room. They all said they could hardly hear the 'scream' because there was a huge amount of cheering and shouting among the people there. The freinds said they barely recognized the event on tv it was so different than being there.
