I played this video for a co-worker. The question she put was basically this: How can you trust a photograph or a video anymore to be a true representation of the facts?
Seriously. It used to take some real darkroom skills in order to fake a photo and, as for a movie, that was even harder. But now?
Have we gotten to the point where photographic evidence should be seriously questioned, if not banned as proof of a fact?

If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.

COMMENT MODERATION IS IN EFFECT UFN. This means that if you are an insulting dick, nobody will ever see it.
No question about it. Images and videos have no value anymore as "proof" of anything. I imagine they'd have some use if from a trusted source and/or backed up by a witness who swears it to be accurate.
ReplyDeleteBut stuff like that video ( funny, but not very convincing... kind of like this)
Here is an oldie but a goodie:
Flight 405
I downloaded that one back when nobody (outside of college kids) had access to high-speed internet. When a fellow attorney and I were doing a test-run of a new courtroom that had been wired for digital graphics, we used that video to test things out.
