March 13, 2020 WaPo Fact Checker Calls Out Biden Campaign for Deceptively Manipulating Video

Joe Biden just earned Four (4!) Pinocchios from The Washington Post Fact Checker for spreading "manipulated video" of President Trump on social media.

It was just a few days ago that the Biden campaign called this exact thing a "national crisis."

"But the Biden campaign isn’t shy about playing the same game of video trickery," The Washington Post found, calling out the Biden ad for "two separate and distinctly different examples of manipulated video."

The video the Biden campaign posted on Facebook and Twitter "is a clear example of deceptive editing," according to the Fact Checker. Of course, the Biden campaign's spokesman, "Baghdad Bates," defended the deceptive video.

These are the Biden lies that Twitter is currently defending by refusing to apply its "manipulated video" label equally across the board. Now that an independent, third-party fact checker has ruled the Biden video is manipulated to deceive, Twitter must immediately say whether it meets their "manipulated video" standard, and if it does, treat it the same way Twitter treated President Trump's campaign.

Of course, this isn't the first time the Biden campaign has been called out by fact checkers for "editing tricks" in their videos. In December, PolitiFact "found that the [Biden campaign's] ad was edited, with clips sometimes shown out of order or out of context[.]"
