Amidst the horror of the killing of Renee Good, I take solace in seeing how technology has outperformed propaganda:
I have seen more lies about the killing than I can count, but it is 2026, and I have also seen around 6 different video recordings of the incident from all possible angles WITH clear audio.
Gone are the days, when propagandists could freely shape the narrative. JD Vance and Trump can still lie, but we can see the incident they are lying about, from 6 different angles WITH audio.

in reply to Schmaker • • •indeed. Was about to make that point. AI will be used to create fake enough narratives which then will flow through SoMe and into the......"lax" parts of more mainstream media that had jumped on the Trump train. People who want to be lied to, will believe any lie told and to few institutions hold accountability. Jan 6, and 2020 are prime examples of how a narrative can still be spun.
Of course this just mean "we" have to be more vigilant and vocal

in reply to Schmaker • • •I completely agree. Video being trustworthy is something we really can no longer count on. We need tech folks to come up with some way make it easier to tell genuine video from fakes.

Unknown parent • • •That’s the way tech does it now, but maybe there’s a better way. Maybe there’s a way to weave a code into video that only the camera could generate in combination with the videographer’s encryption key. I don’t know, just saying we need a way.

in reply to Randahl Fink • • •Brooks and Capehart discussed this yesterday:
"And I watched it play out in real time this week, because every single Trump person on my feed, my social media feeds was saying, this proves he shot her with just cause.
And every single anti-Trump person on my feed said it was murder. I did not see one exception. And so I think what this tells us is the norm, which is essential to democracy, of putting the truth above your party and your team, that norm is eviscerated, at least on social media, hopefully not in real life."
The polarization will reach its crescendo.
