We see what the videographer shows us and, in my view, there is a Paul Harvey context story to almost every video.

... that photographs and videos taken on cell phones are “fake news”.
We haven’t heard that term used multiple times each day for several months now. I had hoped that the term, which has been so damaging to all our news sources would be forgotten, permitting our many legitimate journalists and sources to rebuild their reputations. Our democracy cannot survive without Americans having sources of news that they can rely on to make decisions about who and how they will be represented.
