LONDON (AP) – Twitter has slapped another label on a tweet by President Donald Trump, this time warning that a video he shared was manipulated. The move escalates the social media company’s crackdown on one of its most widely followed users. Twitter took the rare step of adding a warning that the video was “manipulated media” and linked to a page that said multiple journalists confirmed the clip was edited to make it look like a CNN broadcast. The doctored clip used footage from a video that went viral last year of two toddlers, one black, one white, which CNN used for a story it did on the boys’ friendship.
