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: Video Does NOT Show Michael B. Jordan Promoting 'Health Spending Card'. Video Does NOT Depict British Police Showing Peace Signs To Pro-Palestinian Protesters. NASA Satellite Did NOT Photograph Megalodon On Shark Week Show.

Let's get down into details. SEGMENT 04 Fact Check: Video Does NOT Show Michael B. Jordan Promoting 'Health Spending Card' -- Audio Is Fake To regenerate: perl rerun.pl https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2023/11/fact-check-video-does-not-show-michael-b-jordan-promoting-health-spending-card-audio-is-fake.html 04 "QUIP" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- artie: Some people asked me if this is true. Does a video on Facebook show actor Michael B. Jordan endorsing a "health spending card" promotion? botty: No, that's not true: Jordan's public relations team confirmed to Lead Stories that this claim is false. artiefast: Ha, I knew it! botty: Lead Stories previously has debunked fake promotions, such as the one linked to this post, as scams to get social media users' personal information. artiefast: "Looks like Michael B. Jordan won't be making house calls with his 'health spending card' anytime soon. Remember folks, always double-check before sharing!" SEGMENT 06 Fact Check: Video Does NOT Depict British Police Showing Peace Signs To Pro-Palestinian Protesters To regenerate: perl rerun.pl https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2023/11/fact-check-video-does-not-show-british-police-showing-peace-signs-to-pro-palestinian-protesters.html 06 "QUIP" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- artie: What do your sources say about this one? Does a video show British police officers expressing support for a pro-Palestinian rally in London during the 2023 Hamas-Israel war? botty: No, that's not true: London's Metropolitan Police told Lead Stories that the men in the footage were not their officers. artiefast: What else have you got there? botty: The video captured people wearing bright yellow jackets with the insignia of Peace Officers UK, a group of COVID-19 deniers whose members have been fined previously for impersonating law enforcement. artiefast: "Looks like those 'peace signs' were just a case of mistaken identity. Remember folks, always double-check your sources before jumping to conclusions!" SEGMENT 08 Fact Check: NASA Satellite Did NOT Photograph Megalodon On Shark Week Show -- Dramatized Scenes And Actors Playing Scientists To regenerate: perl rerun.pl https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2023/11/fact-check-nasa-satellite-did-not-photograph-megalodon-on-shark-week-show.html 08 "QUIP" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- artie: I'm looking for more context on the next thing. Did a documentary produced for the Discovery Channel's "Shark Week" provide "new evidence" from a NASA satellite photo that shows a living megalodon off the coast of Brazil? botty: No, that's not true: The megalodon was a species of megatooth shark that has been extinct for several million years. artiefast: I did not see that coming. botty: The Shark Week episode "Megalodon: The New Evidence" has disclaimers and is a work of fiction -- there is no new evidence these giant sharks are still alive. artiefast: "Looks like the megalodon got caught in a fishy tale! Remember folks, when it comes to Shark Week, take it with a grain of sea salt and enjoy the entertainment." SEGMENT 10 Fact Check: NO Evidence Potato Poultices Heal Tissue Inflammation To regenerate: perl rerun.pl https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2023/11/fact-check-no-evidence-potato-poultices-heal-tissue-inflammation.html 10 "QUIP" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- artie: I want to ask you something Botty. Is a "potato poultice" a proven effective treatment for tissue inflammation? botty: No, that's not true: Though potatoes contain certain antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, Lead Stories found no evidence that externally applied potato poultices are scientifically proven to treat inflammation. artiefast: I did not see that coming. botty: A nutrition expert confirmed to Lead Stories that most accounts describing potato poultices are outdated and anecdotal. artiefast: "Looks like the potato poultice trend is all mashed up! Stick to fries for now." SEGMENT 12 Fact Check: Video Does NOT Show Pickup Truck Saving Plane And Its Passengers -- It's An Old Nissan Commercial To regenerate: perl rerun.pl https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2023/11/fact-check-video-does-not-show-pickup-truck-saving-plane-and-passengers-its-old-nissan-commercial.html 12 "QUIP" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- artie: Have you heard about this next one, Botty? Does a video on social media show a truck saving an airplane and passengers by catching the aircraft's crippled landing gear in its bed? botty: No, that's not true: The clip is from a 2011 Nissan commercial for its Frontier pickup. artiefast: Really, Botty? botty: The dramatic but fictitious events in the advertisement were created using a combination of live-action and special effects. artiefast: "Looks like this truck's heroic act was just a commercial break from reality. Remember folks, not everything on social media is as it seems!" SEGMENT 14 Fact Check: Photo Does NOT Show Swastika On Door Of Stabbed Jewish Woman In France In 2023 -- It's From The US In 2017 To regenerate: perl rerun.pl https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2023/11/fact-check-photo-does-not-show-swastika-on-door-of-stabbed-Jewish-woman-in-in-frances-in-2023.html 14 "QUIP" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- artie: I'm probably not the only one online asking about the next thing. Does an image shared on social media document a 2023 attack on a French Jewish woman in her home during this year's escalation of Israeli-Palestinian tensions in the Middle East? botty: No, that's not true: The photo predates the 2023 Hamas-Israel war. artiefast: Thanks for providing more background. botty: It was taken in 2017 in Michigan. artiefast: "Looks like someone needs a geography lesson! Remember folks, always double-check the facts before hitting that share button." SEGMENT 16 Fact Check: Australian Government Did NOT Announce Investment Opportunity -- It's Scam Video To regenerate: perl rerun.pl https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2023/11/fact-check-australian-government-did-not-announce-investment-opportunity-its-scam-video.html 16 "QUIP" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- artie: Here's something my friend told me, but I'm not sure it is real. Did the Australian TV network 9News report that the Australian Securities Exchange and Reserve Bank of Australia had announced a new financial platform that could enable investors to earn 30,000 Australian dollars each month? botty: No, that's not true: A video on Facebook that made this claim did not include a genuine 9News newscast, nor is there any record that the Securities Exchange or Reserve Bank made an announcement about such an automatic trading system. artiefast: I did not know that. botty: Neither 9News nor Australian government websites have published such reports. A link in the video sends users to a website promoting what appear to be courses at a supposed business school -- a frequent technique used to harvest unwary users' personal information. artiefast: "Looks like someone's trying to make a quick buck off of fake news. Remember folks, always fact-check before investing your time or money!" SEGMENT 18 Fact Check: Joe Rogan Did NOT Claim That Scientists Captured A Wendigo And Tried To Keep It Secret To regenerate: perl rerun.pl https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2023/11/fact-check-joe-rogan-did-not-claim-that-scientists-captured-wendigo-and-tried-to-keep-it-secret.html 18 "QUIP" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- artie: So, Botty, what's the real story here? Did comedian-commentator Joe Rogan say on his podcast that scientists captured a Wendigo, a monster from Native American folklore, and tried to keep it a secret? botty: No, that's not true: Rogan never mentioned the mythological creature on his podcast. artiefast: Do go on. botty: The video animation from social media that shows an "urban explorer" searching "deep in the woods" for the Wendigo did not air on Rogan's show. artiefast: "Looks like someone got lost in the woods of misinformation! Remember folks, always fact-check before you go monster hunting." SEGMENT 20 Fact Check: Video Does NOT Show Palestinians Staging Fake Injuries To regenerate: perl rerun.pl https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2023/11/fact-check-video-does-not-show-palestinians-staging-fake-injuries.html 20 "QUIP" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- artie: Am I the only one wondering about this? Does a video of workers applying makeup and appearing to help a young girl on a stretcher show Palestinians staging fake injuries in the midst of the 2023 Hamas-Israel conflict? botty: No, that's not true: The video depicts behind-the-scenes footage of a Lebanese short film called "The Reality," according to the film's director. artiefast: Can you explain that to me like I was five? botty: He posted a fact check as well as the film online. artiefast: "Looks like this video was just a reel of makeup magic, not a real-life drama. Remember folks, always double-check the source before jumping to conclusions!" artie: That's all folks! botty: Please like, share and follow!
