    �Disgraceful Manipulation�: Fox Accused of Covering Up Loud Boos for
    Donald Trump at the Super Bowl with Fake Crowd Cheers


    In the before times, whenever there was a dispute about an event video
    was seen as the great arbiter.

    But as technology has progressed, doctoring video (and audio) is as
    common as a bad call by an umpire. In short, �proof� can be easily
    manipulated.

    Which is to say: Who knows whether Donald Trump was booed or cheered when introduced Sunday at the Super Bowl?

    One amateur sleuth, John O�Connell, made a persuasive and widely shared
    case that �Trump at the Superbowl was soundly booed and hissed. Heard
    clearly international coverage and commented on in multiple countries.�

    The American viewers who watched on Fox, which carried the Super Bowl,
    didn�t hear the boos because the pro-Trump network overlayed canned
    �cheers,� O�Connell surmised.

    When challenged, O�Connell posted a video recorded by �someone who was
    actually there.� One problem: The account of the person who recorded it
    is inactive.

    Maybe it�s the work of the X owner, Elon Musk, who is known to censor
    content he does not like. Maybe O�Connell and the thousands of others who shared the video were hoodwinked.

    But the video, taken of Trump as he saluted during the singing of the
    national anthem by Jon Batiste, was clearly shot from inside the Super
    Bowl, and it showed a mixture of cheers and boos. That�s important to
    note, as many have tended not to make the distinction that before Trump
    was shown on the Jumbotron, he was introduced during pregame festivities.
    Each appearance produced a different reaction, or so we think.

    The second video, shot when Trump was on the field, was more hostile
    toward the president. One fan can be heard yelling �Thank You, Donald� to
    the president, followed by another shouting �Traitor.� Boos followed
    though it�s unclear if they were directed at the president or the guy
    calling him a traitor.

    �Sky News just showed it but edited out any booing disgraceful
    manipulation,� one person replied.

    Of course, there is some wish casting involved. Judging from his X
    timeline, O�Connell, for example, is rabidly anti-Trump. The second
    video, meanwhile, was posted from the account �Occupy Democrats.�

    A warm reception for Trump should�ve been expected. His approval rating
    has never been higher. The wider culture has embraced him (players
    kneeling in solidarity with Black Lives Matter protesters have been
    replaced by players celebrating with the �Trump dance�).

    He won a majority of the vote in the state where the game was played
    (Lousiana) and the states where the two teams play (Pennsylvania and
    Missouri). So, it was a home-state advantage for the president.

    Trump, of course, only heard cheers. He even suggested that the
    unmistakable boos directed at Taylor Swift were because she endorsed
    Kamala Harris in 2024. (�MAGA is very unforgiving,� he wrote on Truth
    Social.)

    In the end, it seems Trump was both booed and cheered. So both sides are
    right (or wrong, depending on how you cast such things).
