President Joe Biden posted numerous videos over the last several months containing repeated edits and cuts while his White House team decries other clips of the president as “cheap fakes.”
During the past two months, as White House Press Secretary Karine Kean-Pierre decried “cheap fakes” she alleged were edited to make Biden look bad, the president’s own Twitter account posted video clips with camera cuts occurring as often as every 3 seconds. His account has rarely tweeted long-form, uncut footage of him speaking or interrupting with voters — instead his team packages events into highly-edited, short-form montages.
After Biden was seen on camera freezing during a Juneteenth celebration and wandering off at the G7 summit, the White House railed against clips of the incidents, claiming that outlets and social media accounts such as the New York Post and Republican National Committee (RNC) had misleadingly edited and cropped the shots. Jean-Pierre attempted to popularize the “cheap fakes” label to insinuate the videos were edited in a way to make the president look bad.
While the White House lambasts “edited” videos, the president’s personal account posted a series of videos with jump cuts and splices — which experts say could be used to conceal mistakes.
For instance, in a May 15 video of Biden challenging former President Donald Trump to a debate, the president speaks directly into the camera. Over the 14-second video, the shot cuts 5 times to zoom in or out, without changing camera angles.
