To put even a slightly finer point on it -- isn't this, in a sense, journalism without a filter? Video can lie, but it's probably a bit harder to make a live streamed video lie than an article that recapitulates the content of such a stream. Video "lying" involves video distorting the entirety of a situation by only showing one and part of an overall action. The thing about such lying is it easy, effortless. A perfectly sincere person can walk into the middle of situation, film it, show an incorrect picture and not know it. And the problem here is that many/most people operate with the assumption "either X is true or he's a liar" and videos that a bad picture of an event may have no intentional liars attached, which can give them more credibility than should have.
