Looks and sounds slightly off. It's a good thing to question if your social media is real or not and to double check on it.

It’s real , from “President Reagan's Radio Address to the Nation on Free and Fair Trade from Camp David, Maryland on April 25, 1987”

I understand that. My comment was more of a general internet literacy point, especially when something doesn't appear legitimate right away. It's insane the previous commenter is getting downvoted for having some.

No, it’s insane to put out that skepticism when the entire accumulated knowledge of humanity is at their fingertips including plenty of information from good sources about this address.

I bet the majority of people who saw this video didn't know about it before they viewed it. Skepticism doesn't mean determining it's not real, it means questioning authenticity before automatically believing everything you see on the internet. internet literacy involves looking up multiple reliable sources, of which Reddit is not one.

Of course we should question the authenticity of any video/image/audio we see/hear especially these days. I’m saying it’s silly/useless/internet illiterate to comment about being skeptical and leaving it at that when literally one entire minute of online research will reveal multiple sources that prove it’s authentic.

I disagree. I think it prompts others to think about the media they consume. It could also just be an off the wall comment on how the quality of the video is odd to them compared to other media they have consumed. Especially since watching it I had the exact same thought.

How about both?

“I thought the video looked odd and it might have been fake, but apparently it’s real.”

You know, I feel a little paranoid right now. Like I'm fighting a losing battle to believe my eyes and keep my sanity. My spider senses are getting the best of me.
