Air Current Editor-in-Chief Jon Ostrower questioned the validity of the photographs. he tweeted,[3] "The photos released by the WH tonight of the president working at Walter Reed were taken 10 minutes apart at 5:25:59 pm and 5:35:40 pm ET Saturday, according to the EXIF data embedded in both @AP wire postings that were shared by the White House this evening." The tweet received more than 97,000 likes and 37,000 retweets in less than two days (shown below, center).

Many mocked the photos online, calling them staged.
