In this Tuesday, Feb. 4, 2020, file photo, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, of California, tears her copy of President Donald Trump's State of the Union address after he delivered it to a joint session of Congress on Capitol Hill in Washington.
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The issue of misleading political messages on social media has arisen again, as President Donald Trump tweeted an edited video showing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi repeatedly tearing up his State of the Union speech as he honored audience members and showed a military family reuniting.
Pelosi did tear the pages of her copy of the speech — but only after it was finished, and not throughout the address, as the video depicts.
Pelosi’s office asked Twitter and Facebook to take down the video. Both services refused, saying it does not violate their policies intended to prohibit intentionally deceptive videos.
Researchers worry the video’s “selective editing” could mislead people if social media companies don’t step in and properly label or regulate similar videos. And with the proliferation of smartphones equipped with easy-to-use editing tools, the altered videos are simple to make and could multiply as the election approaches.

Couldn't happen to a more deserving crowd.
What idiots !
That is a message video not a ‘Deep Fake’
Don’t these morons know the meaning of the term ?!?
1. Pelosi did tear up the speech.
2. The video highlights each of the touching moments from the speech that Pelosi tore up.
3. It has become a sad day indeed when “the Press” does not recognize freedom of the Press !
4. A ‘deep fake’ is when someone uses videography software to superimpose someone’s voice and image on another person. This video is clearly NOT a ‘deep fake’
"He also described her with the words “petty,” “distempered,” and “inappropriate.” She failed to introduce the President properly, and then was particularly out of line when she tore up his speech after grimacing and showing petulant expressions throughout the President’s speech."
"Turley asserted that she should resign from office as the Speaker as her breaches of decorum at the State of Union were the worst of all those he has criticized over the years."

Bravo .......
Well, we could run with their demands and make this type of “deceptive editing” illegal. Although, that would put the media and Hollywood out of business...
:-)
Actually, she was making little tears through out the speech. She was doing exactly what the video intimates.
What crybabies.
Everyone knows she didn’t tear it up during the speech.
And apparently, they are ignoring the message it’s sending or it’s too subtle for them to grasp and it just went over their heads.
She said there was not a page of truth in the speech, so she most definitely could be fairly interpreted as tearing up each and every statement by the President. Thus the Trump ad is perfectly appropriate and not at all misleading.
Oh bullsh!t - Pelosi was tearing the thing up and fiddling with the papers during the WHOLe SPEECH!
Predictably, the AP is not criticizing Pelosi for ripping up the speech, but Trump for taking advantage of it. Pelosi SAID that her reaction was in response to the ENTIRETY of Trump’s speech, in which “everything was a lie,” so he was just taking her at her word and applying her comment to specific points in his presentation.
Gah! These people really *do* think we’re stupid!!
“Selective editing”
Guess we’re going to have to shut down every evening news broadcast in America.
When did she pre-tear it...
I believe that occurred during the speech
So, is Turley going to continue being a “Democrat?”
This was showing the effect of what she actually did in tearing up each part of the speech piece by piece. They're just upset that it's such a bad visual for them. Well, they should blame Nancy and not Trump.
And apparently, they are ignoring the message it’s sending or it’s too subtle for them to grasp and it just went over their heads.

No, they whining about it because it is so effective.
The left just isn’t funny and can’t make a meme or take a joke. They absolutely hate it when they are made fun of, especially when it’s the truth being used against them. All they have is “Orange man bad”.
