Nope, reputation is definitely still important. As it turns out, you can edit videos to produce a desired effect/impression -- just saying "it's a video" doesn't really establish objective truth.
Since O'Keefe paid $100,000 to settle a lawsuit centered around edited video designed to make ACORN look bad, it's pretty reasonable to treat his videos with skepticism.
- bufferoverflow 7y agoAs I said, they all have horrible reputation to me - I've seen major lies in all major news sources. They all editorialize to fit their agenda. Left or right wing, all bad. But since you're the one claiming these particular videos are somehow edited, present your evidence. The burden of proof is on you.
- BryantD 7y agoThat's interesting. Where exactly did I say these particular videos were edited? I only have one comment in this thread, should be pretty easy to point it out. In the event that you realize you read something into my words that wasn't there, I would politely invite you to ask whether or not that reflects on your priors regarding all major news sources.
