SAN FRANCISCO: The issue of misleading political messages on social media arose again last week, when US President Trump tweeted out an edited video showing Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi repeatedly tearing up his State of the Union speech as he honoured audience members and showed a military family reuniting.
Pelosi did tear the pages of her copy of the speech – but only after it was finished, and not throughout the address as the video depicts.
