...The Claim Shortly after the montage aired and began working its way across the internet, Right Side Broadcasting Network (RSBN) tweeted footage claiming it was edited to leave out Trump's calls for peaceful protest moments before rioters stormed the Capitol.

Donald Trump Jr. also spoke out, saying the footage was "deceptively edited."

...The Ruling True.

[blueplum]

two points to Newsweek for pointing out the deception

[jersey117]

So did Trump’s lawyer play it? I couldn’t bring myself to watch any of it. It’s so disgusting how they treated our President from day one. And no one pId the price.

Tainted evidence. Isn’t that illegal?

[Mark17]

I am sure there will be much more deception to be pointed out.

When you have the scumedia on your side all is possible

DeepFake

We will see lots more of this as time goes on. You won’t know what is real or fake.

[Mark17]

When you have the scumedia on your side all is possible

Well, you are certainly right about the scum. I hold them in utter, complete vitriolic contempt.

The sole purpose of this SHAM impeachment of President Trump is to LEGITIMATIZE the Biden/Harris administration.

THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO OTHER REASON.

Fraud vitiates everything.

[ZOOKER]

If a prosecutor knowingly presents false, deceptive, incomplete evidence in a trial, can the defendant start disbarment proceedings?
Can the defense demand an immediate mistrial?
How about a civil suit for malicious prosecution?

What do you expect for a Soviet Show Trial.

“The sole purpose of this SHAM impeachment of President Trump is to LEGITIMATIZE the Biden/Harris administration.”

Absolutely. They spend half their time demanding that people “say it!” — that there was no fraud. But it seems that Trump’s attorneys did that very thing.

“Fraud vitiates everything.”

Sadly, there was extreme fraud, yet the phony results still stand; nothing was vitiated.

Did anyone expect anything different from the Stazis?

[eartick]

Not in the USSA

With the advances in editing equipment, it is almost impossible to visually detect if any editing was performed.

A doctored video used as forensic evidence is the equivalent of Adam Schiff’s phone call script.

Then again, Leah’s is judge, witness, and juror,

I can write this here. Maybe only here.

Clinesmith got a slap on the wrist.

[TiGuy22]

I disagree. While the essence of what you said I agree with, I don’t think it’s the sole purpose. I think they want to destroy Trump and Trumpism in every way they can to assure their goal of single party rule.

When did Newsweek turn to the light... Second example of good journalism being practiced at this old liberal rag.
