Don't believe everything you see on the news: You don't know who to believe anymore. This is a seven minute video. Quite interesting implications.

It puts a whole new light on post-processing doesn't it.

It occurs to me that there is a mutation in in the human race that might help to deal with the problem shown here; it is called Alzheimer's Syndrome. Someone born with this mutation lacks or had a diminished ability to read body language. In this new age, this may be a tremendous advantage.

Wow...what an eye-eopener! Thanks for the link! Can't seem to trust anything anymore, especially when it comes to social media, or any media for that matter.

Did you mean to say Asperger's Syndrome?

Thank you for sharing that, Pipes. This is definitely not a good thing. Our news media is riddled with sins of omission, spin, and "creative" editing, now they have the means to totally manipulate the news. I have trusted them in a good many years, but, this technology puts the finishing touch to whatever credibility they might have.

Yikes! That's me out as a television news watcher. Most news shows are biased in some way anyway.

Time to go old school and get the news on public radio.

Ahh, public radio is biased too. They tend to report the news with what ever slant THEY want to put on it or if it doesn't fit their agenda, they just don't report it. They are no better and no worse than any other news service.

Some years ago, public radio and public television really was pretty even-handed. Sure, the people working there had personal biases but they were not all biased in the same direction.

But in the 1990's, budgets were cut with the stated intent of making public radio and television more "responsible". It was argued that they had been around for long enough that they should be able to get private financing - and it turned out they did find it. But that private financing comes with a catch. Now "public radio" and "public television" are not so public; they have to serve private interests if it wants to continue to receive private financing and they no longer get much public funding.

I wonder what crest toothpaste's agenda is or for that matter any advertiser?

All this nonsense about agendas is just that nonsense. Do you think an advertising salesperson for a network goes into a dark room and says to the client: "Just how do you want us to present a story on X?"

Be serious!

Crest's agenda is the same as any other corporation - to make money, ostensibly for their stockholders. In fact they are required to have that as their first obligation by the decision in the case of Dodge vs. Ford.

I am serious.

I don't disagree.
