Kerry: Doctoring of State Dept. video 'stupid and clumsy'



Secretary of State John Kerry said Friday that whoever doctored several minutes of videotape from a State Department news briefing about the Iran nuclear negotiations was "stupid and clumsy and inappropriate."



Kerry, in Paris for discussions on restarting peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians, made his first comments on the incident in which a section of the department's daily briefing was excised from the official video. Earlier in the day, GOP committee chairmen pressed for more information about the incident.

Audio Shows Katie Couric Documentary Deceptively Edited Interview with Pro-Gun Activists

A new Katie Couric documentary advocating gun control was deceptively edited to make Second Amendment supporters look foolish, audio released by the supporters shows.



In “Under the Gun, Couric asks a group of gun rights supporters, “If there are no background checks for gun purchasers, how do you prevent felons or terrorists from purchasing a gun?” The documentary filmmakers spliced in footage of the activists sitting silently for nine seconds. One man looks down, seemingly uncomfortable, during the awkward silence. The documentary then moves on to the next scene of a cylinder on a revolver being closed.

Media Ethics - Behind the Scenes



Like photo manipulation, multimedia video editing and doctoring can have huge effects on the perception of the end user. We are constantly being bombarded with images and video that have been cut, altered or adjusted to encapsulate a predetermined message to the viewer. It is left to us as the consumer of media to decipher the value of what is presented. Whether a documentary, a news package or a feature film, the visual is not always what it may seem.

The sound of silence is a powerful input of emotion.

Looks like their production 'values' are beginning to show.

Crisis Actors Used In False Flag Ops



There is little debate as whether or not preparedness and drill simulations are important in preparation for emergency situations. They’ve saved countless lives of both rescuers and victims all over the world. There are numerous well respected companies that offer these important services and are utilized all the time.



What if there are companies that contract with the government and are used for nefarious simulations and passed-off as “real events”. How would you know? Realism is the key to successful simulation and training



It would be very difficult for the public to discern whether or not the events are “real”, compounded with the emotional images that accompany them. If you could stage events that are so real, they could be used on an unsuspecting public to tilt official policy and agenda.

Ethics indeed! Give me a break.

Morals? What morals? It's all based on getting people to consume more ideas that promote a fake hyper reality. Buy into the latest propaganda and earn brownie points for a free flight plan. Getting people to spend more on things they don't need while keeping a person indebted. Feeding the greed with images designed to garner an emotional response.
