The flip side is that almost all NEWS is backed up with video and tape recordings.
NO major newspaper does not back up interviews with tapes and we see video every day, of course then told the video is a lie
Questions asked and answered are basically all on video or simple tape recording. Even those "sources" are known by the media and if pushed it is available
Pretty transparent actually.
Just to respond to the poster who asked....why would anyone have an guest interviewed that lies......ANSWER.....sometimes to get his/her lies on video, and in others...that person who lies is who the organization sends as you try to cover the news.
I did a lot of this for a living, well before the advent of so much tape, etc, and even then....EVERYTHING was documented on established reliable media.......the biggest asset that these folks have is reputation and integrity and they sure will protect that.
REMEMBER....when you see that liar interviewed on TV, he/she may not care about what you think...they are speaking to those followers who want and devour the lies.
AS a PS.....quotes, again on the major newspapers, etc, are sometimes edited for space, but you
VERY SELDOM IF EVER SEE SOMEONE CALL ANY MEDIA OUTLET BECAUSE THEY, FOR SURE, CAN BACK IT UP.....THUS THE YELLING HOW THE MANIPULATED A QUOTE IS HOGWASH.....THE MEDIA JUST HAS TO DECIDE WHEN OR IF TO SUPPLY THE BACK UP.
Believe me, the media, or most.....NY TIMES, WASH POST, etc....DO NOT EVER EVER MAKE THINGS UP......if they err someone loss their job......
when is the last time you heard a public figure make such a claim of fakery and have it play out that way ??
