Partisan framing causes identical evidence to be interpreted as supporting opposite narratives, making objective truth difficult to establish.

When the same video clip is interpreted by Fox News as showing one narrative and by CNN as showing the opposite narrative, video evidence alone is insufficient to establish truth.

“You have you have the exact same video clip. You go Fox News, you can clearly see here she's trying to run over the agent. You go over to CNN, you can clearly see here she's trying to escape the agent and not cause problem. We're looking at the same video. So even the video evidence is not going to be enough.”

All highly effective viral videos since the Rodney King video start halfway through the event, omitting the run-up context.

“All of the really effective viral videos basically since then, including the ones that have been really important over the course of the last decade, they've all had that characteristic. They all start halfway through the event.”
