There's a subplot in The Newsroom where a producer edits an interviewee out of context, leading to the network broadcasting false accusations of serious war crimes. The producer wasn't careful enough, and a clock visible in the background is seen to jump around. Without that clock it would have been undetectable.

- cortesoft 5y agoYou don’t even have to change the ordering of the video during editing to craft a false narrative. Take reality TV, for example… if you film people for 24 hours a day for a week, and you need to edit the footage down for a 30 minute show, you can create a huge variety of impressions. For example, let’s say you want to make someone seem like a jerk… in 168 hours, everyone is going to have at least 30 minutes of actions that, in a vacuum, make you look like a jerk. By choosing only to show actions that contribute to a certain narrative, you can completely change how someone appears to behave.
- not2b 5y agoThat's how "reality TV" operates. They record a ton of video, decide what the story they want to tell is, and chop things down to tell that story.
