Discussion: Team Trump Tries To Weaponize Deceptively Edited Videos Of Nancy Pelosi

The curse of cable news is the need to “feed the beast”, 24/7.

We who used to do TV in the day knew we were in trouble when all we had was reporters talking to reporters. Today, the narrative is preplanned and for all intents an purposes, scripted.

We can no longer be sucked into what we now call “news.”

Give me long form stories any day.

Sigh

BTW. The Pelosi video is a simple two click function in most video software. Slow the video down while clicking on the button “maintain audio pitch”. Sounds normal but slower. Takes all of two minutes and then render out the final video and post.

At least even FOX is calling it out for being fake.

Better yet, just do the same to vids of Dolt$ and Ghouliani, blast them out on every rightwingers twitter and FB’s and whatever. They believe everything they see, show them how you can’t trust anything you see.

Sorry, no time today, I’m reading about the legal battle for Deutsche Bank’s records. Gripping! We’ll have to discuss Pelosi and the other feckless, effete “centrists” like myself some other time.

Ahhhhhhh… The Good Old Days…

I would say that if some knucklehead edits a trump video to make it appear he slurs his words then the trump camp ought to have zero grounds to complain.
Actually there are videos of trump slurring words and they aren’t even doctored.

Keith Olbermann would number the days since the “mission accomplished” banner incident. And then lay into ol Georgie.

So Giuliani wants Nancy to apologize for saying the truth,but will not apologize himself for posting a fake and insulting video - sounds like what a whining baby would do, so much like Trump. this man has no honor, no reputation left. good bye.
I wills say I was happy to see no trumpette that I know posted this video on facebook. maybe they know by now that I would mock them endlessly.

I mean this as good natured as possible, but you’re kind of a jerk for putting that picture in our heads.

Besides hoovering up your emails, the NSA really, really excels at this. They stood down my specialty right after I left active duty. The specialty that they replaced us with (mostly just moved folks over into this program from mine) centered around intrusion and defense. There’s all kinds of fun stuff to be found in metadata.

And yet he never does that.

Understatement of the decade, Snookums.

One wonders why someone hasn’t doctored videos to make President Trump look sane…

I unsubscribed quite a few years ago for these reasons. It’s interesting to me that Democrats are virtually never the benefactors of this type of treatment. Funny that, New York Times…
