Bless you!!! I will look for videos I see that I think would make good before and afters. The one that got me thinking about this was a Biden video talking about what a big threat China is when I know he was running Trump down for calling China a threat before. There are some before/after videos already that I have seen, but they’re not in a convenient spot to grab them up and share them whenever something comes up or an opportunity arises. Thank you so much for considering this project.
Feel free to contact me here via freepmail when you find some videos. Just give me the links and an overview and if it’s a few sentences someone said that’s part of a longer video, let me know what I’m watching for and maybe how far along in the video it is.
I have ability to edit videos too so I can pull out the pertinent section and add it to a section of another video so that the first thing they said and the second, conflicting thing they said, can be put together in one video. We should make sure to note when and where they said these things so that people can fact check it.
Don’t want to be FakeNews.
When I have a little more time, I’ll get in touch with everyone from a few different threads here on FR and also make a post of my own to get the website up and running. It’s already complete but lacks real content. I stuck a bunch of filler content on there to work on the layout. Meanwhile, the twitter and facebook accounts associated with the website are pretty much ready to go. I also have an account on reddit.com and can spread things there.
The website was to be similar to newsbusters.org with articles calling out media bias. There was the possibility of also having a satire section as we have a freeper who is pretty good at it. I had also thought a meme section would be good. I already put that together and it is filterable, searchable and people can bookmark memes to add to their collection. Young people are all about memes and half of facebook posts are memes so I think it’s worthwhile.
Oh, and for the website, I had come up with the name “conflicted” for the menu item for this idea of showing how politicians flip flop. “In their own words” was my first though but it takes up too much room for a website menu item. FlipFlop is another possibility. Of course the website won’t get near as much exposure as the social networking accounts associated with it.
So send me what you find and I’ll make sure it gets posted on twitter, facebook and reddit and I’ll also add it to the website for when it gets opened up to the public.
