CBS News Shamelessly Covers for Biden by Labeling Damaging Video of Him ‘Digitally Altered’

The Biden administration and its allies in the mainstream media are working very hard to convince the public that damaging videos of President Joe Biden are being taken out of context and horribly deceiving.

In pursuit of this goal, Biden’s allies have coined the term “cheap fake,” like deepfake but instead of being generated by artificial intelligence, they are allegedly just deceptively edited.

And on Tuesday, CBS News happily promoted the White House’s propaganda about these videos, airing segment that falsely claimed a video of the president seemingly wandering off at the G-7 before being retrieved by the Italian prime minister had somehow been “digitally altered.”

Rhona Tarrant, the executive editor of CBS News Confirmed discussed the prevalence of “cheap fakes,” including the video from the G-7 summit.

Now, the White House wants you to believe that millions of people were deceived into thinking Biden was just aimlessly wandering off into the abyss, when in reality he was trying to thank soldiers and the video was deceptively cut off.

However, that explanation really does not cut it. As IJR reported when the video first surfaced, Biden was trying to communicate to the soldier — whether they noticed is unclear. But that does not make the incident any better.

What was alarming, or concerning, was the fact that every other member of the G-7 seemed to know what was happening, that the skydivers would be coming up to the world leaders and they would get a chance to talk to them. British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said as much. Yet Biden, who has a history of seeming to magically forget his stage directions, decided to wander away from the group to talk to the same individuals he would’ve gotten a chance to talk a little bit later.
