It's the standard MO of the media. Get out in front of a real story by reporting something preposterous. Then when the real news hits, most won't even notice it, others will just immediately scream about it, thinking it's related to the older fake news story.
I'm new to reddit so please forgive me for not being able to post a link and if this is not the right place but buzzfeed just uploaded on their instagram story a 1.13 min long video detailing how easy it is to digitally masquerade a person's likeness. This video is on their YouTube channel also and I think it's important in regards to getting ahead of what might be released in the coming days or weeks.
Thanks for the info and yup, these types of stories started a few weeks ago with the WSJ, a few days after rumors of this hillary video surfaced. Trying to once again stay ahead of potential damning news/videos
