I can't think of a better example of why media is such a dangerous technology when used to promote agenda's and to influence how other think, feel and perceive. Just like almost all the video's seen on social sites as well as television including news/journalism sources - how you title, mark and precede such presentations has a huge effect on how other see it, feel about it and judge it.
I especially liked the look on the photographers faces the instance when the subject told them that all the information they were primed with was false.
Now, whenever you look upon some video that comes with diatribes about how good or bad something is just remember this example - you don't ever know for sure what the true story is or what the rest of the story would, could and should present AND remember your view, perceptions and beliefs will be subjected and directed by such things.
I kind of like how one professional speaks on this by teaching others to watch such media with no sound and no added graphics, words, titles, etc. and that you have to find out whether the video is edited or framed toward the agenda such titles, sounds, and graphics might skew your perceptions, perspectives and beliefs.
Ain't life a HOOT?
