So just in a general sense I would regard referring to MM's comments as calling the video "fake" to be an unfair characterization.
    Thanks for the 2c tip.

    I'd say that taking something out of a picture or film sequence is alteration just as putting something in is.
    Like removing all frames of a CCTV recording that show a particular person in order to give the impression that they weren't there. Cf Entrapment, Rising Sun, etc.
    Or cropping or airbrushing a picture of an event in order to remove one or more participants. Cf Yezhov/Malchenko/Bondarenko.

      I disagree. In that case, I would say the video was misleading. Saying that something is "faked" suggests that fabrication took place.

        So, like when the highly respected journalists at NBC faked the fiery crash of a GM truck for their story?
        The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

          • Exactly. Or when reporters claim to be on location but are really standing in front of a green screen in the local studio.

              Jim. I don't care. I'm not interested. I was discussing the concept of faking vs editing in general.

              I can't tell you how much I don't care about your war with MM on the crowd size.

                Yes you can - you just did ;)

                To be fair, it's an issue of truth over fantasy. And it really does matter in that when two people can't agree on something so straight forward, it means there is something seriously wrong. Which is why I do not understand why so many of you are willing to let MM's position stand.

                      I dont think you know what that means. And I was always taught silence in the face of something wrong is tacit approval.

                      Again, I dont know of one person in the 'we are against the MSM camp' here at tweb that has spoken up and let it be known the crowd size nuttery from the Trump side is dead wrong. Even when the thread was active and we were all arguing the point.

                        Sometimes silence gives you the opportunity to actually work the problem, instead of just loudly rail against it, Jim.

                        I have done some "back door diplomacy" here with some posters where publicly blasting them on the board would not have allowed that.

                          If I was to guess, it’s because you’re incapable of having any sort of discussion, about Trump, without resorting to the idea that Trump is Satan himself. It’s pointless to even bother.

                          • I've said it before and I'll say it again, the more the Democrats waste their time with this pursuit the less of a chance they'll have. There's just not much dirt there to be found. What they should focus on is their politics, their candidates, and figuring out what direction they should be heading. Right now they're stuck in a mindset of "Business as usual will win" and that won't work going forward. They'll have to figure themselves out at the moment.

                            But that requires a lot more effort and work, than the temptation of a simple "We can win with a gotcha" approach.

                              Makes sense CP. That would be a judgement call. Whatever has been done on that front, MM is still in a fantasyland regarding the issue, and he asked me to trust him that he has been keeping current with and understands the circumstances. Given he still maintains someone somehow altered the data that shows the gaps towards the monument, I have very good reason to doubt his capacity to reason logically on these matters.
