artiephone: I tell you, Bottie, never date a calculator. bottyphone: Yeah, at first love will multiply, but the addition will just subtract from your time and you'll end up dividing. arthurphonefast: Attention! The Daily Not, 2023/10/16 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: Video Does NOT Show Egyptians Delivering Food And Water To Gaza Since The Start Of October 2023 Conflict. Elon Musk Did NOT Announce A New Trading App Investing Platform On The BBC. Video Does NOT Show Hamas Paragliders Invading Israel. NO Evidence Pope Francis Declares Klaus Schwab 'More Important' Than Jesus Christ. Photo Is NOT Of Palestinian Children Killed During 2023 Israel-Hamas Conflict. Video Does NOT Show 'The New Iron Beam In Full Display'. artie: So all of that didn't happen? Let's get down into details. SEGMENT 04 Fact Check: Video Does NOT Show Egyptians Delivering Food And Water To Gaza Since The Start Of October 2023 Conflict To regenerate: perl rerun.pl https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2023/10/fact-check-video-does-not-show-egyptians-delivering-food-and-water-to-gaza-since-the-start-of-october-2023-conflict.html 04 "QUIP" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- artie: Let's talk about this in more detail. Did Egyptians deliver humanitarian aid of food and water carried on their backs from Egypt to Gaza? botty: No, that's not true: The video in the post making that claim predates the 2023 Hamas-Israel conflict and therefore could not depict a humanitarian response to the October, 2023 blockade imposed by Israel. artiefast: I'm relieved to hear that. botty: The video used in the false claim was first posted on TikTok on August 31, 2023. The original captions on the video, and comparisons with other similar videos, point to this being a smuggling operation at the border of Libya and Egypt. artiefast: "Well, folks, it turns out that Egyptians aren't actually delivering food and water to Gaza on their backs. I guess they're not trying to start a new trend in backpacking cuisine after all!" SEGMENT 06 Fact Check: Elon Musk Did NOT Announce A New Trading App Investing Platform On The BBC To regenerate: perl rerun.pl https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2023/10/fact-check-elon-musk-did-not-announce-a-new-trading-app-investing-platform-on-the-bbc.html 06 "QUIP" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- artie: I want to ask you something Botty. Did BBC News broadcast "breaking" news that Elon Musk has a new trading app that will allow Britons to make so much money that they won't have to work anymore? botty: No, that's not true: The BBC's website includes no such report and the footage of Musk is from an appearance at the World Government Summit on February 15, 2023. artiefast: Good thing I asked. botty: He did not speak about a trading platform at the event; an AI-generated voice has been added to authentic video of Musk to create a fake interview by the BBC's Fiona Bruce. artiefast: "Well folks, turns out Elon Musk didn't actually announce a new trading app on the BBC. I guess we'll have to find another way to make so much money that we won't have to work anymore. Maybe we can all become professional TikTokers or something!" SEGMENT 08 Fact Check: Video Does NOT Show Hamas Paragliders Invading Israel -- Forces Fly Egyptian Flag To regenerate: perl rerun.pl https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2023/10/fact-check-video-does-not-show-hamas-invading-israeil.html 08 "QUIP" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- artie: Hey Botty, did you hear this one? Did a viral video shot from what appeared to be a balcony by "a random civilian" become "another visual of the invasion" of Israel by Hamas on October 7, 2023? botty: No, that's not true: The original upload of this footage did not link the video to Hamas' attack. artiefast: Did you find out more? botty: Similar videos apparently filmed at the same location clearly show Egypt's flag, not Hamas', attached to paragliders flying in the sky. artiefast: "Well folks, it turns out those paragliders invading Israel were just trying to catch a better view of the pyramids in Egypt! I guess even Hamas needs a vacation sometimes." SEGMENT 10 Fact Check: NO Evidence Pope Francis Declares Klaus Schwab 'More Important' Than Jesus Christ To regenerate: perl rerun.pl https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2023/10/fact-check-no-evidence-pope-francis-declares-klaus-schwab-more-important-than-jesus-christ.html 10 "QUIP" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- artie: Have you found any more detail about this? Did Pope Francis declare World Economic Forum chairman Klaus Schwab a "more important" figure than Jesus Christ? botty: No, that's not true: The People's Voice, the website originally making the claim, provided no sources proving the pope said this. artiefast: What else have you got there? botty: The site has a long history of publishing fake or made up quotes and has a liability disclaimer that seeks to absolve the site of any responsibility for the reliability or accuracy of the information on it. No media outlets have reported on the quote. artiefast: "Well folks, it seems like the Pope has not yet updated his 'Most Important Figures' list. Jesus Christ is still holding the top spot, despite rumors that Klaus Schwab was making a run for it. Sorry Klaus, maybe next time!" SEGMENT 12 Fact Check: Photo Is NOT Of Palestinian Children Killed During 2023 Israel-Hamas Conflict -- It's From 10 Years Earlier In Syria To regenerate: perl rerun.pl https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2023/10/fact-check-photo-is-not-of-palestinian-children-killed-during-2023-israel-hamas-conflict-its-from-10-years-earlier-in-syria.html 12 "QUIP" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- artie: So, Botty, can you look into this other thing for me? Does a photo published on social media show Palestinian children killed during the Israel-Hamas conflict that began on October 7, 2023? botty: No, that's not true: While the image does depict children who lost their lives in the Middle East, it actually dates back to 2013 and was taken during the civil war in Syria. artiefast: I'm relieved to hear that. botty: The person making the claim later posted a correction saying his intent was "to present a general depiction of child mortality" and that he would be more diligent in the future. artiefast: "Well folks, it seems like someone got their timelines mixed up! Turns out, that heart-wrenching photo circulating on social media wasn't from the recent Israel-Hamas conflict, but from a whole decade earlier in Syria. I guess we can call this a case of mistaken identity, or should I say, mistaken geography? Let's hope the person responsible for this mix-up learns to double-check their facts before hitting that 'share' button. Remember, folks, accuracy is key, especially when it comes to sharing powerful images. Otherwise, we might end up with a 'throwback' conflict on our hands!" SEGMENT 14 Fact Check: Video Does NOT Show 'The New Iron Beam In Full Display' -- It's From A Video Game To regenerate: perl rerun.pl https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2023/10/fact-check-video-does-not-show-the-new-iron-beam-in-full-display.html 14 "QUIP" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- artie: Here's another question for you. Does a video on social media capture a brand-new Israeli defense system in action during the October 2023 Hamas-Israel conflict? botty: No, that's not true: At the time, Iron Beam was not known for being employed by the Israeli forces. artiefast: How about that? Got more details? botty: The video on social media presented a cropped version of an Arma-3 game simulation. artiefast: "Well folks, turns out the 'new iron beam' in that video was just a case of mistaken identity. It's like when you think you're getting a gourmet meal, but it turns out to be a frozen TV dinner. Talk about a game-changer!" artie: That's all folks! botty: Please like, share and follow!
