Was swimmer Lia Thomas "Booed Off Stage at the 'NCAA Legends' Meet and Greet"? botty: No, that's not true: This claim appeared in an article on a satirical website known for publishing fabricated content. artiefast: Oh, I see now. That's fascinating. botty: The website where this claim originated has a disclaimer that reads "Everything on this website is fiction." artiefast: "Well folks, it turns out that swimmer Lia Thomas wasn't booed off stage at the NCAA Legends' Meet and Greet. But hey, if you're looking for some fictional entertainment, I hear they're casting her in the next Aquaman movie!" SEGMENT 06 Fact Check: Video Does NOT Show 'Zionist Israeli Police' Raiding Synagogue To Arrest Jewish Youth Who Support Palestinian Rights In October 2023 -- It's From 2021 To regenerate: perl rerun.pl https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2023/10/fact-check-video-does-not-show-zionist-israeli-police-raiding-synagogue-to-arrest-jewish-youth-who-support-palestinian-rights-in-october-2023-its-from-2021.html 06 "QUIP" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- artie: We should probably look into this next one. Does a video shared on social media show an Israeli police raid on a synagogue to arrest a Jewish youth who supports Palestinian rights in the days following the Hamas attack on Israel in October 2023? botty: No, that's not true: The same video was shared on YouTube about 22 months earlier. artiefast: Really, Botty? botty: The clip has nothing to do with the 2023 Hamas-Israel conflict. artiefast: "Well folks, it seems like time travel isn't just for the movies anymore! Turns out, this video claiming to show a raid on a synagogue in 2023 is actually from 2021. I guess even the internet can't resist a good throwback Thursday!" SEGMENT 08 Fact Check: Neither 'The Rock' Nor Joe Rogan Endorsed $5,600 'Health Spending' Cards From Feds For Every American To regenerate: perl rerun.pl https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2023/10/fact-check-neither-the-rock-nor-joe-rogan-endorsed-5600-dollar-health-spending-cards-for-every-american.html 08 "QUIP" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- artie: This one seems interesting too, Botty. Did Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Joe Rogan endorse a plan by the federal government to distribute health spending cards worth up to $5,600, with every American qualifying for one? botty: No, that's not true: The claim that the government is freely giving out health spending cards with thousands of dollars on them is a scam. artiefast: Do go on. botty: Such scams are usually attached to an ad asking whether a person needs federal assistance or insurance. Neither Johnson nor Rogan -- purportedly backing the plans -- posted such an endorsement on their official social media channels. artiefast: "Well, it looks like The Rock and Joe Rogan won't be handing out health spending cards anytime soon. I guess we'll have to stick to our regular methods of paying for medical bills, like selling our kidneys on the black market. Just kidding, folks!" SEGMENT 10 Fact Check: University of Pennsylvania Protest Chant Did NOT Urge 'Jewish Genocide' -- It Said 'We Charge You With Genocide' To regenerate: perl rerun.pl https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2023/10/fact-check-university-of-pennsylvania-protest-chant-did-not-urge-jewish-genocide-it-said-we-charge-you-with-genocide.html 10 "QUIP" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- artie: People say you shouldn't believe everything on the internet. But here's a question. Did University of Pennsylvania students chant, "We want Jewish genocide!" at a pro-Palestine rally in Philadelphia? botty: No, that's not true: The chant was, "Israel, Israel, you can't hide, we charge you with genocide." artiefast: Who knew? botty: The student group posted a clarification on Instagram after their chant was misrepresented. artiefast: "Well, folks, it looks like someone misheard the chant at that rally. Turns out, they weren't calling for 'Jewish genocide,' they were just charging Israel with genocide. Talk about a case of mistaken lyrics! I guess we can add misheard protest chants to the list of things that can go wrong in this crazy world." SEGMENT 12 Fact Check: Biden Did NOT Say He Was Born In Israel -- He Was Talking About Why Israel Was Created To regenerate: perl rerun.pl https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2023/10/fact-check-biden-did-not-say-he-was-born-in-israel-he-was-talking-about-why-it-was-created.html 12 "QUIP" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- artie: I'm wondering if this next thing is true? Did President Joe Biden say he was born in Israel in a speech he made during the 2023 Hamas-Israel conflict? botty: No, that's not true: During his speech, Biden explained why he believed Israel was developed. artiefast: Did you find out more? botty: An official transcript records him saying "why it was born," not "where I was born." artiefast: "Well folks, looks like we have a case of misheard words here. President Biden didn't say he was born in Israel, he was just talking about why Israel was created. I guess some people need to clean out their ears or invest in some high-quality hearing aids. Remember, it's always important to fact-check before jumping to conclusions, or you might end up with some seriously confusing birth certificates!" SEGMENT 14 Fact Check: Wall Street Journal Did NOT Report That An 'American MK-84' Bomb Was Dropped On Gaza Hospital To regenerate: perl rerun.pl https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2023/10/fact-check-wsj-did-not-report-that-american-mk-84-was-dropped-on-gaza-hospital.html 14 "QUIP" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- artie: Is there more information about this next item? Did a Wall Street Journal article state that it was "an American MK-84" bomb that hit the Gaza hospital on October 17, 2023? botty: No, that's not true: The newspaper did not publish that. artiefast: Who knew? botty: The only supporting "evidence" in the social media post that made this claim was a photo from 1991 unrelated to the October 2023 Hamas-Israel conflict. artiefast: "Well folks, it seems like someone's been playing a game of 'telephone' with their facts. Turns out, the Wall Street Journal did not report that an 'American MK-84' bomb was dropped on a Gaza hospital. I guess we'll have to stick to the truth and leave the fiction for Hollywood!" SEGMENT 16 Fact Check: Turkish President Erdogan Did NOT Threaten 'To Intervene In The Israeli War On Gaza' To regenerate: perl rerun.pl https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2023/10/fact-check-turkish-president-erdongan-did-not-threaten-to-intervene-in-the-israeli-war-on-gaza.html 16 "QUIP" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- artie: I asked Siri about the next thing, but she didn't know. How about you Botty? Did Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan say his country may get involved in the Hamas-Israel conflict? botty: No, that's not true: His words as cited in a social media post were both misconstrued and altered. artiefast: Can you elaborate on that? botty: Erdogan did not talk about military intervention -- he called for the world to come together to stop violence in Gaza. artiefast: "Well, it seems like someone took a wrong turn on the road to fact-checking. Turns out, Turkish President Erdogan didn't threaten to intervene in the Israeli war on Gaza. He just wants the world to come together and stop the violence. I guess some people need to brush up on their reading skills, or maybe they just need a good pair of glasses!" SEGMENT 18 Fact Check: US Embassy In Lebanon Was NOT On Fire On October 18, 2023 To regenerate: perl rerun.pl https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2023/10/fact-check-us-embassy-in-lebanon-was-not-on-fire-on-october-18-2023.html 18 "QUIP" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- artie: What can you tell me about this, Botty? Was the U.S. Embassy in Lebanon on fire on October 18, 2023? botty: No, that's not true: According to the caption of a photo from an image hosting site, this fire happened outside the security gates of the embassy. artiefast: Can you explain that to me like I was five? botty: The embassy said in an October 18, 2023, statement it was open for business. artiefast: "Well folks, turns out the U.S. Embassy in Lebanon wasn't on fire after all! I guess someone just wanted to add a little extra heat to their vacation photos. But hey, at least the embassy was open for business, so you can still get your American passport and a side of marshmallows!" artie: That's all folks! botty: Please like, share and follow!
