Made In Digital Media Manipulation
.....................................................................................................................................................................................
Alarming to WHO?

The Enemedia has been manipulating video's for decades. They might not have been using digital technology until recently but the word 'cutting room floor' comes to mind. Given a remarkably short period of time, film can be cut, spliced and made to portray anything they want it to.

...................

  • Forget the idea of “seeing is believing.” New technology is making digital media manipulation easier than ever.
    .
    The result? Phony videos that are popping up across the web.
    .
    One video making the rounds is of former-President Barack Obama delivering a speech that he never actually made. It’s part of a video trend circulating the internet called Deepfake, which has made it tougher to tell what’s real and what’s not.
    .
    “It’s very concerning because as people get better with this software we’re able to not just use celebrities, they’re able to use a neighbor in a video and compromise that person,” FITECH Senior Vice President Duarte Pereira said.
    ...................

They're not concerned that it's being done. They're angry that they have competetion. Trump 'making fun of the cripple guy' was likely video manipulation. The enemedia does it ALL the time.

Now that that they have serious competition..they trot out that old almost dead horse...'journalistic ethics'...as if there ever were such a thing.

Sort:  

wait a minute, people are using this for something besides fabricating celebrity sex tapes?
scary stuff.

yup..likely as not the enemedia has been doing it for years.

like how they just played the Donald Trump parts of the Billy Bush tape?

Well they should not do.it, these manipulation can.cause a huge problems.

they've always done it.

Then they are mother fucker :3

I wonder if an unintended consequence of this new tech, ( realistic visual manipulations), will be that all visual records will be start to be discounted automatically as unreliable?

That will make it much harder for mainstream,(and advertising) where visual impacting reports that they rely on, will mean nothing...

The man talking about issues will carry more weight...

just a thought....

gasp
reasoning and logic ?
who'd a thunk!

The media has always been manipulative with their news. Given us selective news as well as making a fool of us. Once heard of a broadcasting TV faking a scene just to create a news out of it. So am not quite surprised to hear about the media manipulative tech, but it cool that there now an awareness of it

This will be yet another new technology that will be totally misused, and it's worrying what they can do next

you missed the point.
it's not what THEY can do..
THEY have been doing it for decades.
it's what WE can do now...
competetition
it's got them running scared.

Journalists haven't had ethics since the 70's.

Yep just like the #fakenews people were accusing the "Enemedia" of last week when they were saying that sources pointed towards Gary Cohn as on his way out because of his difference of views on Trump's Tariffs .

What a bunch of #fakenews that damn "Enemedia" spews

Oh sh@t, wait, what happened today...

This has been known for a good while now, but hasn't been paid much attention by the MSM because it was hoped to become a weapon in the arsenal of disinfo. At the moment, I think the reason it is getting real press is to try and discredit any real video footage of oligarchs/politicians/blackmailed NWO cronies caught on tape diddling toddlers or worse. Weiner & Abedin's "Life insurance" folder perhaps? Or maybe Hefner's blackmail video vault? Whatever happened to that video that made NYPD cry?

Bueno, si anteriormente era dificil de creer algunas noticias dadas por los medios, pues ahora la duda se potencia enormemente. Imaginense a la enemedia trabajando junto a los polìticos con esta herramienta a la mano, serìa brutal y acabarìan con todo...
