Shallow fakes: The latest 'misinformation' scam
Everything you never wanted to know about the latest media censorship drive
The latest "misinformation" threat facing you hopeless conservatives?
"Shallow fakes."
NBC News recently published a report on the race between Dr. Oz and John Fetterman that was, basically, a PR piece for Fetterman.
John Fetterman is the PA lieutenant governor and is the Democrat running against Republican Dr. Mehmet Oz for U.S. Senate.
He had a stroke that almost killed him during the primaries. He appears to be impaired by this stroke, but his campaign (and NBC) assure us that he's just fine.
NBC News published a story recently titled "Doctored video exaggerates speech issues in viral social media posts."
So how was it "doctored?" It was simply edited together. Here's a sample.
The practice of taking unflattering clips of someone the media adores and splicing them together is, apparently, now being referred to as the process of making "shallow fakes."
They're meant to contrast deep fakes, which can actually be deceptive. Shallow fakes, on the other hand, are simply edited videos. They include no added effects. Just the very simple splicing you can do on the smartphone in your pocket.
The NBC reporter didn't stop at complaining – he contacted Twitter and TikTok to have the videos removed.
So, that's one more way the media now wants to restrict people's free speech. And they're not only protesting the idea of editing they don't like – they're actively working to get it removed.
It's just another way to censor the people the media doesn't like.
