| Suppose by analogy someone got hold of a love letter Barack wrote to Michelle. Is it imaginable any credible paper would publish it? Pay for it? Comment that as a non-Jew, Obama wasn`t entitled to privacy? Pay for seeing it, but not retaining it? The current version of events is that Maariv "paid good money" for the note. But the note was given to Channel 2 the next day... Sometimes things are staged. For example, the famous recording of Churchill saying, "We will fight them on the beaches..." etc., was recorded by an actor, imitating his voice. (Churchill was too busy to go to the studio.) With inexpensive software today it`s obviously easy enough to dub voices and add images. Even practical staging is easy enough. Interesting whether any video image nowadays is entirely trustworthy. When Schwarzenegger ran for governor, tabloids ran a photo of a flabby figure at the beach w/ his head. Many thought the picture was faked. Making a fictional two-minute vid isn`t much different. |
