The image is deceiving, in the way that it is causing you to think something is true that isn't. Of course any 2d image is a black hole is deceptive by nature, no matter what you do.
The problem is that when the deception is caused by a person instead of an object it is malicious. "The picture is deceptive" is neutral, but "scientists created a deceptive image" sounds very malicious. And while the headline states the former, it's not a big leap to assume the latter.
