Perhaps it would be necessary to invent the notion of partial fake?
Well, to my understanding, most "fakes" are things that do exist. The photos used were taken somewhere. They have context. They show something. We can say that they have a meaning ... Sometimes, they are not even "tampered with".
The use as fake is simply to claim that they "demonstrate" something else. Or without even claiming, we play a sensitive chord that makes you "vibrate" for something else ...
In recent cases, there is this photo of a mother monkey "crying" for her baby, linked to the Amazon rainforest which is burning (while the photo was taken in India). In this case, there was a "photomontage", we added a background image of fire ...
The case that concerns us is a good example: the document exists (a priori). But we imply something else, at the level of the French Ministry of Education. The proof: she landed on this thread. And if there had not been your question about what a dairy bar is, it would probably be gone.
For me, it's a typical fake.
And I find it rather gratifying that an information site (public moreover) checks. And denounces this type of attempts to manipulate opinion (and, more broadly, even when it is not manipulation, spreading false information).
