Photorealism was a marketing term used in the '90s to advertise that a program's renders looked as good as photographs. Programs like Carrara still have the old legacy "Photorealistic" render setting in its menu. But the renders still look CG.
Software that can do photoreal renders don't display the word photoreal in their settings. It is a given.
As far as splattered food, there is plenty of bad art out there. Not all art is good art. The BBC did the best job of the wedding coverage btw. That could be considered a good art of broadcasting and commentary compared to how well NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, FOX, MSNBC, and the rest did their broadcasts of it.
