Video staging

When reading this article, I agreed with all of the points that the author made. Every single one. Yet, I feel like this is because most of what he was saying was obvious. I know that due to the world of journalism today, what he said needed to be said, which is a shame, but to be honest, I didn't really get anything out of it that I did not assume to be the case beforehand, aside from the darkening of the OJ picture. Do we as journalists really need to be told not to add anything that was not originally in the video? If someone is going to put it in there, it is because he or she understands that rule and is willingly breaking it. No article like this is going to stop them.
