An edited video appeared to show Joe Biden endorsing Donald Trump for president. After a member of Trump's White House team tweeted the video, Twitter used a new tool to warn viewers of its misleading nature.

Twitter Inc. marked a video posted by U.S. President Donald Trump’s team as manipulated content under its new media policy. But the tag doesn’t show up for all users.

Dan Scavino, the White House director of social media, posted a video clip on Sunday that appeared to show Democratic candidate Joe Biden saying, “We can only re-elect Donald Trump.

But Twitter’s tag on the video only shows up in the timeline view, not in the tweet detail. That means that users pulling up the individual tweet won’t see the warning. A spokesperson said Twitter is working on a fix for the issue.The spokesperson for Twitter confirmed that the tweet had been marked based on its synthetic and manipulated media policy.

It’s part of a broader campaign by Silicon Valley giants to target the spread of misinformation on their platforms. Facebook Inc., which came under fire last year over a doctored video of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi that made it appear that the congresswoman was slurring her words, has released its own policy on manipulated content.

So much history . . so few reporters . . Then in his next effort running for president, he had to drop out of race over his plagiarisms.

LAT's won't need to edit this story - little chance they'll cover it: A mysterious FBI raid. New allegations from former executives. Questions are swirling about the business dealings of Joe Biden’s brother, James Biden. It's the whole family, folks.

Biden and that .. you know . . that thingy thing. But you know. AP_Scoop

Dr Jill Stein: Diagnoses like dementia, Alzheimer's require careful medical evaluation & aren't simple/straightforward. That said if your loved one showed Biden's worrisome behavior you’d send him to supportive medical intervention, not to the helm of a doomsday nuclear arsenal.

Twitter was trying to lie to itself, which made it glitch out

Well, I saw the undoctored video and he literally says that. Sooooooo, there's THAT.
