How Misleading Videos Are Trailing Biden as He Battles Age Doubts

Quote

 

A flurry of recent clips, many of them edited or lacking context, laid bare a major challenge for the president as he tries to persuade voters he has the energy for a second term.

In the last two weeks, conservative news outlets, the Republican National Committee and the Trump team have circulated videos of Mr. Biden that lacked important context and twisted mundane moments to paint him in an unflattering light. Among other things, they created the impression that the president:

Wandered off during a meeting with other Group of 7 leaders, an image that The New York Post ran on its front page (he was greeting paratroopers)

A video edited and shared by The New York Post on X claimed to show President Biden wandering off during a Group of 7 gathering. The New York Times annotated additional footage showing Mr. Biden giving a thumbs-up to some paratroopers.

Footage shared on social media by the Republican National Committee appeared to show Jill Biden leading President Biden out of a D-Day event while President Emmanuel Macron of France greeted veterans. Longer footage shows Mr. Biden also greeting veterans and walking side by side with the first lady.

The Republican National Committee shared a clip that sought to show President Biden awkwardly crouching. The full video shows him eventually sitting down after the next speaker was announced.

A New York Times review of these videos found that some scenes were cut short and taken out of context, while other clips were cropped in a way that omitted crucial details when compared with additional footage.

Campaigns and political groups have long disseminated damaging videos of their opponents, sometimes misleadingly edited ones.

But the flurry of clips released this month is a fresh reminder of the steep, multifront and evolving challenge that Mr. Biden, 81, faces in convincing voters that he is spry enough to serve another term. As polls show a close race, many Americans harbor doubts about his fitness — and selectively sliced snippets from his routine public appearances are fueling those worries and sending conspiracy theories spiraling across social media.

 

 AKA completely DISHONEST cheap fakes. But NO ONE expects honesty from Trump.

LOL, are you still trying to gaslight us?

We saw the debate. The curtain has been clearly opened now, exposing Biden. Hell, even the Democrats are panicking.

Don't worry Robo believes it.

My favorite was CNN showing the clip of the unedited version versus the "edited" that people are claim Joe wandered off and it was apparent that they were the exact same video.

Has an admistration ever attempted to gaslight the populous like this one has.

The economy is great

There isn't an issue at the border

Inflation was at 9% when i took office.

Robo's mental software was written on an apple 2e with the single floppy drive option. He's not hard to fool. 

His biggest fear looking at his posts is trump will deport the illegal immigrant slave labour he currently buys his veggies from cheap.  Apparently his world will end if he has to pay market rates for zucchini. 

And gaslighting people about the economy is hard when they cna't afford food or gas. 

It will be interesting to see the polling numbers starting next week or so after this sinks in.  Trump didn't do awesome, he didn't run away with it or anything so i don't expect a huge gap to open up, but i do suspect trump will go from being neck and neck or a few points a head to opening up a 4-7 point lead, and it's going to be hard for biden to come back from that.
