Right. Here are some facts.

The CIA isn't spying on most of us through our TVs right now, though they do have the technology to do it and have developed it specifically for that purpose.

So have countless other entities (government and independent. You can download the tech yourself if you care to, or have the technical ability).

Samsung is spying on you through your Samsung TV's

Any consumer products with voice recognition could be considered to be spying on you, such as Google and Amazon "home assistants".

Technically, by now anything with an active microphone has the capability to do this. It should probably be considered worse that it's not the government, but completely unknown third-parties who supply the infrastructure to do this on a massive scale for the purposes of data mining for advertising.

I have personal experience with this technology and the industries that develop and distribute it. This isn't hearsay or conjecture. I will never understand why it's acceptable for unchecked third-party corporations to spy on you, but once the government does it, a slightly larger minority gets upset.

Your video, Trump's microphone feed from the press conference, has made it into the Top 15 New Videos listing. Congratulations on your achievement. For your contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

Whenever I don't hear a singer breathe into the microphone, I continue listening. This was good.

I watched the convention live on YouTube feeds and PBS news. The T.V. news version filtered out most of the chanting and used camera angles to omit the protest signs. In the later days of the convention the DNC made a sheet of chants designed to counter the protesters chants. It worked well. Just watch Leon Pennata's speech to hear the background chants from Sanders states(where there were no microphones) start and be drowned out be the Clinton states where the crowd mics were placed.

The walkout in @notarobot's video was real. Hundreds of Bernie supporters did walkout after the roll call. It was not on the same day as Clinton's speech. Some delegates planed another walkout during Clinton's speech but never went through with it. The Craigslist ads are likely fake.

Alex Jones is a lair. He puts out enough BS to distract from anything real. It is disgusting how he uses his website as 'sources now confirm' while his website is just quoting from his show. It's worse than the propaganda network PBS news has become.

I don't think it is censored (possibly the complete drops are to redact names), but most of it is just not talking into the directional microphones.

That specific example you quoted? This is just hazarding a guess, but I think maybe she was going to encourage the lady to get a lawyer and consider a lawsuit. Then realized that that advice should probably NOT come from a judge. But that's just a guess.

Microphone issues I bet.

As much as I want this to be real, I'm pretty sure it's fake.
I was incredibly suspicious with the way the man woke up right after the videographer left the frame, extremely suspicious with the man instantly noticing the money and his really odd over reaction about it, but what put me over the edge is the obvious microphone clipped to the man's collar that is completely ignored by the homeless man. That's why the audio is so clear.

Maybe I'm wrong, but this sure SEEMS to be another of the multitude of fake 'social experiments' that's really nothing but a terribly written and acted morality play.

That's where he was heading. The microphone is at the back of the train.

Blanket white noise generators are why God gave us laser interferometer microphones.

OK, thx. Was bugging me.


Looks an awful lot like a microphone in that clip though.

It'd be ten times more poignant if it was a southern fella with the microphone.

I think it's high gain on a microphone distorted by compression effects. A computer's version of ear ringing.

There is some noise in the YT as to whether it's a MIDI being played or not.. But it sounds like a fairground organ, and the punchcard tracks being fed into it as well as the organ action matches the song being played so... They have an uphill climb to convince me they did anything other than properly record the audio instead of using the microphone on the camera.

Since the camera moves, but the sound doesn't change to represent that, I would say you're at least right that what we see isn't what we hear. That said, I would guess he just recorded the audio separately with a decent set of stereo microphones properly placed for best sound recording.
