Rush is wrong. You CAN flip/reverse a video, which is what somebody did.
I remember that same thing happening for the video of that thug who got shot by the cop in the car a couple of months ago. It made it look like he was the driver rather than the passenger (or the converse). Several people explained that this happens when things are posted to Youtube.
I downloaded the clip someone what put up yesterday.
I just loaded it in a program called Freemake Video Converter. The edit screen, under Transform, has options to flip vertically and horizontally.
It took 1 second to flip the clip.
It’s a different video which was reversed.
You would think a technophile like Rush would know this.
In fact, he does know this.
But as Rush points out, they are two separate videos. If one were simply a flipped version of the other, they’d be mirror images, and they’re not. They’re two separate videos, shot by two separate people on two different devices from slightly different locations. It’s just that one of the devices was flipping the image. This happens all the time, often without the user realizing it.
For example I regularly watch amateur pianists on YouTube. Once in a while the low notes are located on the righthand side of the keyboard. What the...??? It’s very odd until you realize what has happened. The image has been flipped horizontally. It’s otherwise entirely accurate.
“Rush is wrong. You CAN flip/reverse a video, which is what somebody did.”
Rush is acting like an idiot on this issue. Rush please move it along.

Yes! Now, is that going to be figured into his vaunted “right” percentage figure? Naw. Didn’t think so.
