Taking a side, after viewing short/one sided videos

How long should it take to form an opinion and stance on short videos ?

No matter what incidents happen nowadays, someone always seems to have a mobile phone keeping an eye on the situation. Filming 5 minutes or so of situations and incidents. These videos suddenly find themselves on social networks, gaining attention on news sites and news reports. Its amazing how emotional the viewers of these videos become, a couple of minutes, even seconds ! and viewers now decide stances, opinions and stereotypes against whole sections of society. But at what point should we believe, and then alter opinions after viewing short videos?
