If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it -Joseph Goebbels, minister of propaganda for the Nazi German government of the Third Reich

Dead link? Not sure what you mean there. Here's the important parts of the link I provided.

On Friday, WIRED published an analysis of metadata embedded in the video, confirmed by independent video forensics experts, which indicates that the file was assembled from at least two source clips, saved multiple times, exported, and then uploaded to the DOJ’s website, where it was presented as “raw” footage.

WIRED’s initial analysis found that those saves took place over a 23-minute span; however, further analysis of additional metadata shows the file was actually edited and saved several times over a period of more than three and a half hours on May 23, 2025. Specifically, the file was created at 4:48 pm and last modified at 8:16 pm ET that day. The metadata also references “MJCOLE~1,” which is likely a shortened version of a longer username. While it likely begins with “MJCOLE,” the full name cannot be determined from the metadata alone.

Both analyses found that the two clips, labeled “2025-05-22 16-35-21.mp4” and “2025-05-22 21-12-48.mp4,” were stitched together. The first clip is 4 hours, 19 minutes, and 16 seconds long, but only the first 4 hours, 16 minutes, and 23.368 seconds appears in the published version, meaning nearly 2 minutes and 53 seconds were cut from the end. According to the metadata, the cut occurs just at 11:58:58 pm. The cut is milliseconds before the one-minute recording gap that Bondi said was caused by a quirk of the surveillance system. The second clip, “2025-05-22 21-12-48.mp4,” picks up immediately afterward, continuing the footage from 12:00:00 am until 6:40:00 am.

A government source familiar with the investigation says the FBI, the Bureau of Prisons and the Department of Justice inspector general are all in possession of a copy of the video that does not cut from just before 11:59 p.m. to midnight of the night Epstein died by suicide in his cell.

Well when that footage is released and independently verified than we'll have something to talk about.

Considering CBS just capitulated to Trump I'm not going to trust their anonymous sources. Especially if they're corroborating any Trump spokesman.

Even if it's true that the recording software's clock always skips a minute at midnight... the footage wouldn't be split up at that point.

There's literally no reason for that footage to have been spliced the number of times that the metadata shows it was.

They could prove themselves by simply releasing the raw footage without the edits. Wonder why they don't.

It isn't better, just stupider!

I didn't say anything was better than any other thing. I only remarked that people were commenting on a misunderstanding of the headline alone, clearly not even having read the body. Their comments make no sense otherwise.
