Imagine trying 30 years from now to organize a bunch of unedited tapes made in 1993.
They broadcast live on CCIT or broadcast unedited tapes on cable access channels throughout the state.
The Chinese authorities showed the unedited tape on Chinese television, asking viewers to turn in the "rumormonger."

But, USA Today reports that the raw, unedited tape is substantially different.
Mason's secretary was on the telephone immediately to get the unedited tape.
The White House also expressed concern that the use of unedited tapes would allow the bin Laden organization to spread its anti-American propaganda far and wide.
It was impossible to slow or freeze frame a videotape at that time, so the unedited tape would be copied to a kinescope, and edited conventionally.
There was an answer: sit through hours and hours of unedited tape to pick out usable bits while working for half the pay (with no residuals from syndication).
You can see the entire tape, unedited (but at slightly lower youtube resolution) here:
