"Sound engineers pointing out in the comments that the applause is from an indoor audience on an outdoor event," wrote one user

Social media users are ridiculing Donald Trump and FOX News Channel after the network was accused of adding fake applause sounds to footage of the President's military parade last weekend.

Users pointed out that footage of Trump's remarks during the event which aired on FOX News was accompanied by applause sounds that didn't sound correct for the setting. Furthermore, they pointed out that the footage of the same point in the event aired on other networks, such as PBS, was not accompanied by the same cheering.

    Don't worry. Early tomorrow morning they'll be saying that the applesauce was taken out for the other broadcasts and theirs is legit. It's not that hard to remove it with modern audio software.

    Edit: Keeping the typo.

    According to Trump this violates consumer protection laws and you can sue for a billion dollars.

    "Accused" should be "caught"

    I don't mind as long as TACO didn't hear any applause themselves. Would really get under his skin.

    This report is inaccurate and did not take the time to double check the official streams. It is actually the PBS stream that has extra cheering/applause and the Fox News version is without. I’m honestly surprised because Fox News is the one with a lengthy history of lying on air.
