It would have been very easy to leave in the other side of the picture with Dubya in it, but then they’d be destroying the narrative that no Republicans went to Selma:

Of course there were more than 20 Republicans there, but the Democrats need to win an election, so the press will make sure to push their agenda items and narratives as much as possible.
