If you like the Radiolab you should check out Errol Morris's book Believing is Seeing for the full essay. Definitely worth reading.

> The overarching theme of my essay is the phenomenon of misinterpreted circulating historical photo's, so this thread is actually really interesting in that regard :P

You should check out Errol Morris's book "Believing Is Seeing: Observations on the Mysteries of Photography"

Or watch his film "Standard Operating Procedure," which talks a lot about how the photographs of some of the people punished for the Abu Ghraib prison scandal basically were taken out of context. Specifically, everything they did they were basically told to do by higher ups (like, up to the White House). But only the little people were punished.
