I have been reading about -
'manipulating digital video'.
Colin Manning: Digital Video Compression

I did this because I found a forum where many TV videos and news stills of the Olso events were being described as 'doctored'.
I have concluded that not only is news doctoring possible, it does happen.
The exaggeration of events results in a greater emotional response from the viewer.
What is to be gained by invoking such a response from a large audience? - for you to decide.
'Seeing is believing' can no longer apply to TV news.
