CBS News posted a segment claiming that the viral video of Biden wandering off at the G7 summit last week was a “cheap fake,” then it removed the original video from the segment and replaced it with a tight cropped version.
You cannot make this up.
“Misleading video clips of President Biden watching a skydiving demonstration at the G7 summit in Italy went viral last week, prompting the White House to say Biden is victim to a simpler version of ‘deepfakes.’ So, what are ‘cheap fakes?’ the anchor announced before bringing on an “executive editor” to lecture anyone watching not to believe their own eyes.
Here’s the segment with the cropped video and the parroting of the White House talking point about “cheap fakes”, with a further post by CBS stating it replaced the original video:
An earlier post was removed as it included the wrong version of a video. This version has been updated to include the correct clip and label on the edited video.

Now, here is the original segment that included the real full video, which people were sharing.
Here's your original clip in case anybody is totally confused by now 🤡 Which you have labeled "Digitally Altered Video" 🤣 pic.twitter.com/upv3tyDVrw

Note how CBS News labelled the video as “digitally altered.”
Wait what? Do you see what they are doing here?
Why delete your orginal post then blur a video and alter it to counter your contention the original was altered ? Is there anyone over 25 working over there ?

Here they are side by side:
Next level propaganda: CBS News posted a lecturing segment claiming the original video of Biden wandering off was a "digitally altered cheap fake". Then they replaced the original video with a tight cropped version. See what they're doing? Full report: https://t.co/BuGJPeKm29 pic.twitter.com/8o0TNbyhWF

This is some next level 1984 style Ministry of Truth propaganda.
The home of fake news now tells people to not believe what they're seeing.

Solid gameplan.
We're at the "don't believe your eyes and ears" part of the simulation..1984..

The full wide unedited version of the video, which again is what people were sharing, clearly shows Biden wandering off and is even more damning.
Everyone freaking out about that Biden clip at G7.

I found the full video. The longer clip, in context, is even more horrifying. pic.twitter.com/obFINP7RNE
That’s why they’re trying to make out that the original video is the cheap fake.
Ok, show the widened footage then pic.twitter.com/8zgGhfulIG

Meanwhile, Axios has cited a Democratic strategist close to the Biden campaign in a report that claims there is no strategy to defeat Trump.
“It is unclear to many of us watching from the outside whether the president and his core team realize how dire the situation is right now, and whether they even have a plan to fix it,” the strategist told Axios, adding “That is scary.”
The source added, “Some advisers feel pressure not to speak up in meetings, especially when in the presence of Biden’s most trusted and longest serving aides.”
“Even for those close to the center, there is a hesitance to raise skepticism or doubt about the current path, for fear of being viewed as disloyal,” the anonymous official told the outlet.
New: Dems, including some Biden aides, are increasingly dubious about the theory for victory focusing on Jan. 6/democracy.
