If you compare that local news report on the time John Fetterman chased down a black jogger with a shotgun to any of his recent campaign clips, there’s a very obvious difference in vocal delivery, possibly due to a stroke. NBC News, knowing it had to help the cause, published a piece Wednesday accusing Greg Price of doctoring his viral videos of Fetterman.
Doctored videos exaggerating US Senate candidate John Fetterman’s speech issues have been widely shared on Twitter and TikTok following a stroke Fetterman suffered in May. https://t.co/AcXTUgV4Sq

Ben Goggin writes:
The videos could run afoul of Twitter’s rules against political misinformation, even though they are still available. The platform says it bans “synthetic, manipulated, or out-of-context media” that is “likely to result in widespread confusion on public issues.”
Twitter did not immediately respond to requests for comment. TikTok removed the videos that NBC News flagged to it, citing its “integrity and authenticity” policy, which includes rules about misinformation.
…
The edited videos of Fetterman’s speech Sunday built on the speculation, gaining the most traction on Twitter when it was posted by Greg Price, a senior digital strategist at X Strategies, a conservative political consulting group.
One video Price tweeted Monday has over 600,000 views and has been shared hundreds of times. Another video he posted Monday, which cuts out audience audio, has over 120,000 views on Twitter and was accompanied by the caption “In case you were wondering why John Fetterman’s handlers won’t let him debate….”
Wait up … so NBC News flagged videos to TikTok, which then removed them?

So NBC News decided to accuse me of doctoring videos of John Fetterman that I posted. (I didn't doctor anything)
They also reached out to Twitter to try and get them censored.

Price’s comment: “Hi, Ben. I don’t care what you regime apologists at NBC decide to write about to help your preferred candidate in the race, who is clearly unfit in every way to serve in the Senate. You can print that. Have a nice day.”
Here's the first video they accuse me of doctoring. As you can see, nothing is doctored. I simply took things he said during a rally and edited them together into a Supercut.https://t.co/pQXAB734aQ

Here's the second, less viral video than the first one. I got it from a TikTok. The crowd noise is apparently blacked out but that doesn't exactly change the fact that the man is unable to speak properly.https://t.co/ME31GiNMPI

Instead of reporting on how Fetterman's handlers are hiding him from the public as much as they can due to his clear inability to speak properly, NBC News is working with them to try and censor me because I tweeted videos exposing it.

Industrial Light & Magic couldn’t doctor a Fetterman clip enough to make the end result look worse than the original.

NBC: nothing but crap

The word “doctored” is doing a lot of heavy lifting here.
