NOT REAL NEWS: Altered video makes Pelosi seem to slur words

Associated Press  

Video footage that was slowed down to give the false impression that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was slurring her words is circulating widely across social media platforms. The distorted video is based on real footage from a Center for American Progress conference in Washington on Wednesday, showing Pelosi referencing her claim that President Donald Trump was engaged in a cover-up. Hany Farid, a digital forensics expert at the University of California, Berkeley, said the video had been slowed down by 75 percent, creating a significant distortion in Pelosi’s speech. Farid said the latest video is reminiscent of an altered video of CNN reporter Jim Acosta that was tweeted out by the Trump administration last year.
