Christine Chubbuck Tape

I just received a follow-up message from Gordon and he has given me permission to reproduce it:

"Lin (the production manager , says copies were made, but there was noi second camera, every one of those copies, which he said were later destroyed did not show the angle that the fake one being circulated shows.."

That's 2 WXLT employees that have said it's fake. I think this is enough evidence for us to call this case closed to be honest.

Are there any screenshots or something about NationSquid and some other YouTuber arguing about it?

This is far and away the best post in the thread. In all the scrambling to see a piece of interesting lost media, or recreate it for page views, it's easy to overlook that this was a real life person. Someone with family, friends, dreams and frustration just like all of us.

I still think the tape ought to stay locked up. If anything it should be given to the Paley center or library of Congress.

Thank you. I spent quite a bit of time colorizing them. 

I agree with you in that the tape needs to stay locked up.

Here's the thing.

Christine's wishes need to be respected in that she wanted to be seen, she wanted it to be taped, she expected it to get out there. It seems like a disservice to her to not release her journalism, (I'm looking at you, Steve Newman) especially considering how dedicated she was to the job. 

From what I've read it really seemed like she loved doing what she did, not the blood + guts reporting, but meeting with community members. It's sad to see such an interesting person be reduced to a news story on death, exactly the thing she hated and was trying to protest against by making it so public. It seems almost cruel to not let her life be seen, (again, looking at you STEVE NEWMAN) especially considering how much she wanted others to see her final act.



The actual interviews or clips from her show need to be seen. (STEVE NEWMAN!) Something to show that she was an actual person and not just another entry on a shitty "top 10 videos you can't find on the internet" YouTube video. The actual interviews or clips from her show need to be seen. Something to show that she was an actual person, a human being. 

I know I'm a tad late to this Chubbuck thread but some points I haven't seen being passed around on other thread ive seen like this are first if this vid came from nationsquid first the intro to the video (talking of the static affect) seems suspiciously similar to the static in the Christine vid itself

But assuming maybe this is real it has been confirmed that a law office has the "only" tape which brings up more ways of it being "leaked" possibly a disgruntled former employee or it was copied over somehow but in my opinion I'm leaning towards fake with the lack of evidence to it being real with the "h" in newswatch being obviously not accurate not to mention the face and voice in the video are conveniently unable to give us any help identifying Christine so I'm new to this site and I did a lot of research the past week on it and just wanted to put some of my thoughts on here because it seems yall did a lot of work on this vid

omg stop quoting the entire post.

In virtualboy's defense, like four people quoted the entire long post. It was a real pain to browse this thread because of it. No need for the snarky tone.
