This video is especially adorable (and harmless). 😺 It also demonstrates how easily video can be edited to make something that didn’t happen look like it happened. Be alert to video editing in those not-so-harmless situations and share/don’t share responsibly.

[HoaxEye @hoaxeye]

That’s done with a simple video trick: the footage has been reversed at ~10 seconds

Tip #2 for identifying media manipulation: Twisting or simplifying the other side's ideas can make it easier to argue them away. #CantDupeMe #USIMediaLitWeek
