To test the effects of photographic editing on memory, Slate altered the content or context of five images. The first was a TV screen shot from President Clinton's 1999 impeachment trial, shown here. The original caption said: "This 12 February image taken from CNN television shows the vote count of the US Senate at the point of acquittal on the second vote of obstruction charges against US President Bill Clinton during his impeachment trial." Because Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., had just cast the decisive 34th vote for acquittal, Sen. Joe Lieberman, D-Conn., who was next in the alphabetical roll call, was shown on the screen.
