How is pinning the video not spreading it?
People “know” Trump spread the video, even though it’s simple irrefutable fact that he did not.
The media is often responsible for amplifying and distorting an act to the point where the original act and actor are indistinguishable. Kind of exactly like what happened in the doctored video.
This is perhaps an incredible example of the pot calling the kettle black. Just yesterday, the TIMES reporter tweeting a fake quote of the President, only admitting he made it up after it went viral, and claiming, “it was plausible”.
IMO the media does this against Trump pervasively and highly effectively, to the point where it is nearly impossible to distinguish what Trump may have actually said, forget about what he meant.
I’d say the Charlottesville comments are probably the most famous example of this.

Could you explain why this is an example?
the footage and audio was distorted and slowed down
Broadcast television has much stronger legal standards than Facebook would ever consider, too.
