"Portrayed"? The camera doesn't lie.
Wasn't it great when you could behave like an ass and there was never a price to it...
Cameras, like guns, have a civilizing effect. That is only a good thing.
So you believe Michael Moore's “documentaries” are truthful?
Cameras don’t lie?
The BBC just apologized for its report (filmed by camera) that reversed a sequence of events and made the queen look as is she had done something that she did not. Same thing with a second BBC “expose’” of PM Brown. Just two recent examples. No offense friend, but cameras can be an instrument of falsehood. Civilizing? Sure, but not exclusively or mandatorily so.
But Photoshop and selective editing do. Ask Lumpy Riefenstahl (aka Michael Moore).
