Quote:Something can be edited to the point of being extremely slanted very easily, and the end result could certainly be called fake.

 

There was testimony before congress by experts that said that the videos were legitimate and not edited.  Of course, that's not widely reported.  One would actually have to view the full un-edited "raw video" to see everything.  I won't link it here, but it is available.

 

An edited video can mean that irrelevant parts are cut out to shorten the length and size of the video file.

 

A fake video would mean that it was all staged and none of it is true, or audio was dubbed over the video track to make it seem like things were said at a different time.  This is certainly not the case.
