For President Trump and his allies, it was a week spent spreading doctored and misleading videos.
On Aug. 30, the president retweeted footage of a Black man violently pushing a White woman on a subway platform under the caption, “Black Lives Matter/Antifa” — but the man was not affiliated with either group, and the video was shot in October. White House social media director Dan Scavino shared a manipulated video that falsely showed Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden seeming to fall asleep during a television interview, complete with a fake TV headline.
And Rep. Steve Scalise of Louisiana, the second-ranking House Republican, released a video splicing together quotes from activist Ady Barkan — who has Lou Gehrig’s disease and uses computer voice assistance — to falsely make it sound as if he had persuaded Biden to defund police departments.
For the president and his top supporters, it was a campaign push brimming with disinformation — disseminating falsehoods and trafficking in obfuscation at a rapid clip, through the use of selectively edited videos, deceptive retweets and false statements.
This from someone supporting the party that runs with fabricated stories from the Atlantic, a mainstream media and Democratic "leaders" parroting them long after they are proven false.
Trump doesn't HAVE to campaign-all he has to do is run videos with the riots, looting arson and murder his party has supported throughout this country.
Youtube has also ramped up its disinformation campaign.... in defense of Joe Biden. Try searching Biden supports looters and rioters and instead of him hemming and hawwing about the riots being peaceful protests, it is just the same footage of him condemning the looting in the same few soundbites. He supported BLM and ANTIFA but now they're lepers as far as his handlers are concerned.
I did see a funny video of Biden voters saved by Trump boaters. A group on a boat were too many and their boat started sinking so up comes the tow boats to rescue them flying Trump flags.
So Trump himself manufactured fake news to put in a propaganda video.
The level of projection just keeps increasing.
Don't forget the "Law and Order" President myth.
