The claim that ‘Here is video footage of ED apparently snubbing not just Chiwenga's attempted handshake, but also follow-up attempted conversations’ is false.
The video showing President Mnangagwa ‘snubbing’ VP Chiwenga does not show the full context. It has been edited to cut out earlier footage where the two can be clearly seen shaking hands. The 26 second clip is cut out from a more than 4 hour live event of a national heroes acre burial.
Not sure if a video has been edited? Check out the following content clues:
Out-of-Order Events: Does the sequence of events make sense? If things seem out of order or illogical, it could indicate that parts of the video have been rearranged.
Missing Information: Does the video seem to be missing key details? If you're left with unanswered questions or the narrative feels incomplete, it's possible that context has been removed.
Emotional Manipulation: Be wary of videos that seem designed to elicit a strong emotional reaction without providing sufficient context. They may be cherry-picking moments to create a false impression.
Check for Original Source: If possible, try to find the original, unedited version of the video. This can help you determine what, if anything, has been changed.
Consider the Source: Who posted the video? What is their agenda? Are they a reliable source of information? Being aware of the source's potential biases can help you evaluate the video's credibility.
