bottyphone: Did you lose weight? artiephone: Yeah, I deleted some heavy files. arthurphonefast: Attention! The Daily Not, 2023/10/12 arthurphone: Live in 3... 2... 1... artie: Hello and welcome to The Daily NOT! A show about what didn't happen today. My name is Artie Ficial and my jokes are mostly powered by ChatGPT. botty: And I'm Botty McBotface. Most of what I know comes from fact checks published by Lead Stories. artie: So, Botty, what do we have tonight? botty: Here's an overview of what didn't happen: bottyfast: Vegas Sphere Did NOT Project Flag Of Israel In October 2023. Video Does NOT Show 'Hamas Paraglider' Crashing Into Power Line. Video Does NOT Show Ohio Students In Lockdown Due to 'Skinwalkers' On September 17, 2023. Video Does NOT Show Air Force One In Egypt By October 12, 2023. Video Does NOT Show US Plane Carrying Equipment To Israel During 2023 Hamas Conflict. Video Of Hamas Military Wing Spokesperson Thanking Iran Is NOT From October 2023. artie: So all of that didn't happen? Let's get down into details. SEGMENT 04 Fact Check: Vegas Sphere Did NOT Project Flag Of Israel In October 2023 -- It's Edited Video To regenerate: perl rerun.pl https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2023/10/fact-check-vegas-sphere-did-not-project-flag-of-israel-in-october-2023-its-edited-video.html 04 "QUIP" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- artie: Could you dig into this? Did the Sphere in Las Vegas project an image of the flag of Israel on its massive dome to show support for that nation amid the Hamas-Israel conflict in October 2023? botty: No, that's not true: The Sphere Entertainment Co. artiefast: Always good to get more info. botty: issued a public statement refuting this claim, saying, "the image was photoshopped." The company did not issue any statements related to the Hamas-Israel conflict. artiefast: "Well, folks, it turns out that the Vegas Sphere didn't project the flag of Israel after all. It was just a case of some clever photoshopping. I guess you could say someone was trying to 'spin' the story, but it looks like they got caught in their own web of deception!" SEGMENT 06 Fact Check: Video Does NOT Show 'Hamas Paraglider' Crashing Into Power Line -- Footage Predates Most Recent Israel-Hamas Conflict To regenerate: perl rerun.pl https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2023/10/fact-check-video-does-not-show-hamas-paraglider-crashing-into-power-line.html 06 "QUIP" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- artie: I've heard some people talking about something, and I wonder if it is true. Did a viral video capture a "Hamas paraglider" falling on electric transmission lines during the Hamas attack on Israel that started on October 7, 2023? botty: No, that's not true: The footage began circulating on social media months before that in a different country. artiefast: Any more background info? botty: It showed a deadly incident in South Korea in June 2023. artiefast: "Well folks, it seems like this 'Hamas paraglider' video is just a case of mistaken identity. Turns out, it's more like a 'paragliding oopsie' from South Korea. I guess even paragliders need a vacation too!" SEGMENT 08 Fact Check: Video Does NOT Show Ohio Students In Lockdown Due to 'Skinwalkers' On September 17, 2023 To regenerate: perl rerun.pl https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2023/10/fact-check-video-does-not-show-ohio-students-in-lockdown-due-to-skinwalkers-on-september-17-2023.html 08 "QUIP" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- artie: Is there more information about this next item? Does a video show reports of "skinwalkers" sighted at school in Ohio on September 17, 2023? botty: No, that's not true: The claim that there are "skinwalkers" -- a witch in Navajo legend -- in classrooms is not made anywhere during the footage. artiefast: Oh, wow. botty: September 17, 2023, was a Sunday, when Ohio schools would likely not have classes. Similar video was posted on social media with a hashtag identifying it as horror footage, clearly meant for entertainment. artiefast: "Well folks, it turns out that the reports of 'skinwalkers' causing a lockdown in an Ohio school were just a bunch of hocus pocus! I guess those mischievous witches must have taken the day off on a Sunday. Remember, not everything you see on social media is as it seems. Stay skeptical and keep those broomsticks locked up!" SEGMENT 10 Fact Check: Video Does NOT Show Air Force One In Egypt By October 12, 2023 -- It's KC-10 Extender Tanker Plane During Exercise Bright Star 23 To regenerate: perl rerun.pl https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2023/10/fact-check-video-does-not-show-air-force-one-in-egypt-by-october-12-2023.html 10 "QUIP" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- artie: Can you tackle this item next? Does this video filmed near the base of a pyramid show a flyover of Air Force One -- the U.S. president's aircraft -- over Egypt following Israel's declaration of war against Hamas in October 2023? botty: No, that's not true: This is not Air Force One but a refueling tanker -- a KC-10 Extender. artiefast: Aha! botty: This formation, including jets from Egypt, Pakistan and the U.S., was part of Bright Star 23, a biannual joint military exercise including 34 nations that took place in Egypt before the Hamas-Israel conflict began. artiefast: "Well, folks, it looks like someone got their wires crossed on this one. Turns out, that video of Air Force One flying over Egypt was just a case of mistaken identity. It was actually a refueling tanker, not the president's plane. I guess even planes have their doppelgängers!" SEGMENT 12 Fact Check: Video Does NOT Show US Plane Carrying Equipment To Israel During 2023 Hamas Conflict -- Footage Was Taken Much Earlier To regenerate: perl rerun.pl https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2023/10/fact-check-video-does-not-show-us-plane-carrying-equipment-to-israel-during-2023-hamas-conflict-footage-was-taken-much-earlier.html 12 "QUIP" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- artie: So, Botty, can you look into this other thing for me? Does a video show planes that belong to the U.S. military carrying heavy equipment to Israel amid the 2023 Hamas-Israel conflict? botty: No, that's not true: The video on X used in the claim uses a clip that predates the conflict. artiefast: And that's one more thing we've learned today! botty: The U.S. sent military equipment to Israel after the beginning of the conflict but that's not in the video. artiefast: "Well folks, it seems like this video got caught in a bit of a time warp! Turns out, those planes carrying equipment to Israel weren't from the future, they were just a blast from the past. I guess even videos need to check their calendars before going viral!" SEGMENT 14 Fact Check: Video Of Hamas Military Wing Spokesperson Thanking Iran Is NOT From October 2023 -- It's From 2014 To regenerate: perl rerun.pl https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2023/10/fact-check-video-of-hamas-military-wing-spokesperson-thanking-iran-not-from-october-2023.html 14 "QUIP" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- artie: People say you shouldn't believe everything on the internet. But here's a question. Does a video being shared on social media show a Hamas military wing spokesperson thanking Iran for its support in October 2023, following the militant group's attack on Israel on October 7, 2023? botty: No, that's not true: The video does show Abu Obaidah, a representative for the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian militant group Hamas, and he is thanking Iran and others for their support. artiefast: Oh, I see now. That's fascinating. botty: However, the video is old; It's from 2014. artiefast: "Well folks, it seems like time travel isn't just for the movies! Turns out, this video of a Hamas spokesperson thanking Iran is actually from 2014, not 2023. I guess even social media can't escape the occasional blast from the past!" artie: That's all folks! botty: Please like, share and follow!
