The Daily Not, 2023/11/07 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 today? botty: Here's an overview of what didn't happen: bottyfast: Wolf Blitzer And Dr. Oz Did NOT Endorse New Drug That Supposedly Cures Diabetes. Video Does NOT Show 'Hamas Supporter' Burning French Flag In Paris . Video Does NOT Show 'Lead Advisor To The World Economic Forum' Revealing Plan To Hook 'Useless People' On Drugs And Video Games In 2023. NO Evidence US Army Rangers Stopped Attack At World Series Parade. Video Does NOT Show Israel 'Blowing Up People In Hospitals' After Hamas Attack in October 2023. artie: So all of that didn't happen? Let's get down into details. SEGMENT 04 Fact Check: Wolf Blitzer And Dr. Oz Did NOT Endorse New Drug That Supposedly Cures Diabetes To regenerate: perl rerun.pl https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2023/11/fact-check-wolf-blitzer-and-dr-oz-did-not-endorse-new-drug-that-can-cure-diabetes.html 04 "QUIP" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- artie: I've heard some people talking about something, and I wonder if it is true. Did Wolf Blitzer and Dr. Oz endorse a new drug that can cure diabetes? botty: No, that's not true: The video showing the CNN host and the physician uses digitally added sound that does not match their mouth movements and there is no record of them ever making the statements shown on the video. artiefast: Thanks for providing more background. botty: As of this writing, there is no cure for diabetes, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. artiefast: "Well folks, turns out Wolf Blitzer and Dr. Oz aren't miracle workers after all! I guess we'll have to stick to the old-fashioned methods of managing diabetes, like eating healthy and exercising. Who knew?" SEGMENT 06 Fact Check: Video Does NOT Show 'Hamas Supporter' Burning French Flag In Paris To regenerate: perl rerun.pl https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2023/11/fact-check-video-does-not-show-hamas-supporter-burning-france-flag-in-paris.html 06 "QUIP" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- artie: I don't know what to believe about this thing. Does a video shared to X in November 2023 show a "Hamas supporter" burning "the flags of France" in Paris? botty: No, that's not true: Using visual clues shown in the video and a staff translator, Lead Stories determined that the footage was filmed in Tangier, Morocco -- not Paris. artiefast: How about that? Got more details? botty: The clues led us to the intersection where the protest took place. artiefast: "Well folks, it turns out that this video of a 'Hamas supporter' burning the French flag in Paris was actually filmed in Morocco. Looks like someone got their geography a little mixed up. I guess even flag-burning enthusiasts need a vacation sometimes!" SEGMENT 08 Fact Check: Video Does NOT Show 'Lead Advisor To The World Economic Forum' Revealing Plan To Hook 'Useless People' On Drugs And Video Games In 2023 To regenerate: perl rerun.pl https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2023/11/fact-check-video-does-not-show-wef-advisor-revealing-plan-to-hook-useless-people-on-drugs-and-video-games.html 08 "QUIP" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- artie: I asked Siri about the next thing, but she didn't know. How about you Botty? Did a video on social media capture "the lead advisor to the World Economic Forum" advocating for making "useless people" addicted to drugs and video games? botty: No, that's not true: The recording showed a pre-pandemic discussion about the societal dangers stemming from rapid technological development and growing health care inequalities. artiefast: Ha, I knew it! botty: One of the two participants, Yuval Harari, is not "the lead advisor to the World Economic Forum," and the context makes it clear that he was concerned about the potential challenges of the future. artiefast: "Well folks, it turns out that this video making the rounds isn't quite what it seems. Apparently, it's not about hooking 'useless people' on drugs and video games in 2023. Instead, it's a pre-pandemic discussion about the dangers of technology and healthcare inequalities. So, I guess we'll have to find another way to keep our useless selves entertained in 2023!"

Did U.S. Army Rangers stop an improvised explosive device (IED) attack at the World Series parade for the Texas Rangers? botty: No, that's not true: This story is from a satirical website. artiefast: So there was more to it. botty: Google News also did not show any relevant results to this claim. artiefast: "Well folks, it turns out that this story about the U.S. Army Rangers saving the day at the World Series parade was just a swing and a miss! I guess we'll have to leave the explosive heroics to the fireworks display next time!" SEGMENT 12 Fact Check: Video Does NOT Show Israel 'Blowing Up People In Hospitals' After Hamas Attack in October 2023 -- Scenes Are From Syria's Civil War Years Earlier To regenerate: perl rerun.pl https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2023/11/fact-check-video-does-not-show-israel-blowing-up-people-in-hospitals-after-hamas-attack-in-october-2023.html 12 "QUIP" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- artie: Hey Botty, I've heard you've been looking into this. Does a video on social media show Israel "blowing up people in hospitals" in the aftermath of the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023? botty: No, that's not true: The video shows scenes that can be traced to Omar bin Abdulaziz Hospital in Aleppo, Syria. artiefast: Oh, wow. botty: The facility was hit by an airstrike more than seven years earlier on July 15, 2016. artiefast: "Well folks, it seems like someone needs to check their GPS because apparently Israel has figured out time travel! Who knew they were blowing up hospitals in Syria years before it even happened? Talk about being ahead of the game!" artie: That's all folks! botty: Please like, share and follow!
