'Cheap Fakes'

According2Sam Podcast

You may have heard of 'deepfake' videos, the process of overlaying someone else's face on a video to make it look like they are doing, or saying something they never did or said, but have you heard of 'cheap fakes'? 'Cheap Fake' videos are videos that have been edited to change the context of what really happened in the unedited video. For example, video of President Trump saying, "there were fine people, on both sides", but cuts out him saying, "I'm not talking about neo-Nazis, because they should be condemned, totally", to make it look like he is saying neo-Nazis are fine people is cheap fake. The Biden administration is claiming that recent videos that have gone viral, showing the President struggling are cheap fakes as well, and that context has been edited out. Is this true? Do these videos of Biden classify as 'cheap fakes'? Join the conversation and get answers to this question and more on According2Sam episode #221.
