TRANSCRIPT:
STELTER: "And I've noticed Brianna, we all live on our phones these days, we're all scrolling through social media. You've got to be careful at a delicate moment like this to look at the timestamps, look at the dates, look at when things are actually posted, and if they're really from the situation they're purporting to be. A lot of these algorithms are servicing hours old or even days old content. So you might be looking at a video of something wondering what's happening in L.A. -- it's actually from two days ago. And that's, you know, it only matters because it can give people a false impression of what's actually happening at a moment of unrest."
