Any time you point a camera you are choosing what is news and what isn't. You always look for the most dramatic shot, the one where the water is really raging even if all around is calm. You look for the one loud nut in the crowd and they get the closeup. You say something to make the person you interview cry and that is the 30 seconds you use out of the 60 minutes of dry eyed footage, implying that these extremes are the way it all is. And yeah, it often pretty fake.
