Adverbs of degree

While in the past, citizens couldn't be sure a politician

was telling the truth -- -Well, I am not a crook.

-- they could trust the words captured on camera

-I did not have sexual relations with that woman.

But seeing isn't always believing anymore.

False and misleading videos are circulated online,

spread by politicians, advocacy groups, and others,

and they're often viewed millions of times.

As the technology to manipulate video advances,

-"The Fact Checker's" set out to develop a universal language

to hold creators and sharers of misleading video accountable.

This guide is intended to start a conversation.

and a set of skills to detect fake video.

The video is unaltered, but is presented in a way

Misrepresentation is using incorrect framing of a video

For example, Trump campaign adviser Katrina Pierson

shared this video to represent rockets being fired in Gaza,

but it was really filmed in Belarus, 2,000 miles away.

creating a false narrative, like when conservatives shared

that we have 12 years to turn this around.

Well, it's not going to get turned around in 10 years.

congressional candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez,

The third category is malicious transformation.

The video has been manipulated to transform the footage itself.

Doctoring is altering the frames of a video, cropping,

or changing the speed, using Photoshop, dubbing audio,

For example, this video of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi

-Fabrication is using artificial intelligence

This includes deepfakes, like the video of Mark Zuckerberg

to make him say things that he never said.

Whoever controls the data controls the future.

If someone's voice sounds a little low or their hands

are moving too quickly or their face just looks off,

that not all video shared online can be taken as a fact.

We expect this list will grow as new categories

before believing that a viral video really happened.

And politicians and public figures have a responsibility

As technology develops, these videos will only become
