I used to think TMZ was always in the right until that Ariana Grande hotel footage

For years I trusted TMZ as the gold standard for breaking celeb news. Then my buddy Dave, who works at a media monitoring firm in Atlanta, showed me how they edited that 2019 Ariana Grande hotel security video to crop out the context where the staff admitted they messed up first. After seeing the raw timestamp data from the security logs, I realized how easy it is to spin a narrative by cherry picking clips. Has anyone else found a specific outlet they used to blindly trust but now question?

Maybe TMZ stands for "Trust Me, Zilch" now.

Makes you wonder what else they've twisted like that.

Hasn't this whole discussion changed what you thought you knew? I used to brush off stories like this, but now I'm not so sure.
