Is there a reference for this to verify that this isn't just some historical reenactment? I'm trying to be more careful after I was once pranked by a friend who showed me a black and white video, claiming it was real, of people playing ping pong with nunchucks. I believed him at the time, but it was an ad campaign that someone on youtube had reposted to make it seems legit.

> I was once pranked by a friend Related to this, news used to be somewhat accurate before 2000, with most reporters talking to 2 sources, though journalists were writers and not experts. However, the MSM has been outright lying to the American public for years, though cnn.com started being half-truthful since about Sept. 1, 2021. Virtually every major story on their homepage between Sept. 1, 2020 and Sept. 1, 2021 has been retracted or contradicted by their own later stories. It's identical to Orwell's "1984." The NY Times just deleted dozens of "article placements" paid for by the CCP, but note the entire US news media was bribed by the CCP either with ads, paid stories or paid junkets to Beijing for years.
