Well, CBS News found itself yanking a video off social media on Wednesday.
They were decrying the video as a “cheap fake” depicting Biden apparently wandering off during last week’s G7 Summit in Italy.
The White House laid into Republicans, accusing them of churning out these “cheap fake videos”.
They claim conservatives are cherry-picking moments to paint a picture of cognitive decline.
The recent video CBS aired is G7 footage showing Biden and other leaders watching a skydiving spectacle.
They claimed the video was edited, per the post via social media.
Turns out the video was untouched.
Just goes to show, you can’t believe everything you see on social media.
I wonder if this video was created as bait for the media and they bought it.
Now, while CBS is wrong about the video being ‘digitally altered’, you can see there is a military guy on the ground.
While we all agree that Biden’s cognitive abilities are declining, it does seem that he’s talking to the guy.

The Gateway Pundit reports:
CBS News was forced to remove a video from social media platform X on Wednesday after arguing it was an example of a “cheap fake” of President Joe Biden apparently wandering off during the G7 Summit in Italy last week.
The White House has accused Republicans of creating cheap fake videos of Biden, taken out of context, to build on the narrative that he has cognitive problems.
CBS News chief White House correspondent Nancy Cordes claimed such was the case with the G7 footage of Biden and other world leaders watching a skydiving demonstration.
“Outlets claimed that he was sort of just aimlessly wandering away. The clip amassed millions of views …, when actually if you widen out, you can see that he was talking to one of the members of the military that was participating in that demonstration,” she said.
The problem is the so-called “digitally altered video” CBS aired next to the actual one is exactly the same. In both, you can see that Biden is trying to talk to a paratrooper.
ADVERTISEMENTBut he did wander off, while the other G7 leaders stuck together. Then Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni went to Biden to wrangle him up.

Don't believe your own eyes, folks.
Pierre said right-wingers who are sharing these videos have a "credibility problem."
