- jnty 8y agoThis is surfacing now with relevance to the debate about fake news, but it's really more about what we would call reconstructions today presented without disclaimer at a time when it wasn't necessarily assumed that everything you saw was real (or maybe the accepted ethics on doing this hadn't quite settled down yet...) It's still relevant though as reconstructions or animations can easily be used to mislead even if they are clearly not original footage.
