Some people might think so. In an art class a professor once told us that all photography can be a lie whether edited or not. Consider:

Let's say I took a picture of a old man beating a child with a cane.

In the video version of the photo I zoom out, and it's clearly a stage performance.

Or I take a picture of a man frowning in front of a demolished home.

In the video version the man happened to be walking by a construction of a new home and I said something to get his attention and snapped the photo on moody black and white film.

Framing is curating reality and you can evoke certain emotions or messages simply by what you choose to keep in and leave out of your frame.
