There are countless examples of the media being accused of “manipulating” footage in the editing room. In some interviews, particularly with politicians, the footage can be manipulated to make the interviewee react in a way that they did not in the actual interview. This can be to create drama in the interview, or to create controversy and entertainment. This has been accused of happening in politics, such as using out of context quotes from the opposing party for an election campaign.
In regards of editing being used for the sake of entertainment, an example, the BBC had to apologies in 2007 for its editing in the documentary of Monarchy: The Royal Family At Work. In the documentary, the Queen was portrayed unfavourably, as one particular scene showed the Queen walking out in frustration after a photoshoot. The actual footage was shot before the Monarch’s photoshoot, but was edited to depict the Queen angrily walking out the photoshoot.
