I don't feel this fits in any existing thread here, so I'll just put it at the root level.

Doesn't the "look" at ~2:04 in the video sound inserted, perhaps to make Kalanick sound abrasive? I may just be over analyzing it, after having watched a short documentary on shaping opinions with small manipulations of video interviews awhile back.

(I sincerely apologize that I can't find a link).

I digress. The fact is Uber has been playing fast and loose, and push is starting to come to shove with regulation. Whether Uber or regulators cave is now the question.

Audio pro here - I record dialog for film and TV. It doesn't sound edited to me at all. Cutting the audio in slightly ahead or behind the camera image is so usual that such cuts have their own names - J cuts sand L cuts, respectively. Doing so provides a sense of editing momentum (which is quite important in news) and rather than being particularly considered it's just a cookie-cutter technique. Bear in mind that TV segments like this are just product to the people who make them, and are assembled with about as much contemplation as a hamburger. When you're cranking these stories out day after day you're not very invested in any of them, just enough to sketch out the issue in an attention grabbing way.
