artie: Is there more information about this next item?
 Has a journalist who debunked the "pizzagate" conspiracy theory also been charged with child pornography?
botty: No, that's not true: the allegation was based on a faked screenshot of a non-existent New York Post headline.
artiefast: How about that?  Got more details?
botty: While former ABC investigative reporter James Gordon Meek was sentenced in September 2023 for possessing child sexual abuse material, he is not one of the journalists who refuted the pizzagate hypothesis.
artiefast: Remember, folks, it's important to fact-check before jumping to conclusions. Don't let misinformation distract us from the truth.

artie: Can you shed some light on this issue?
 Does onion peel water cure or alleviate urinary tract infections, prostatitis or other infections?
botty: No, that's not true: A medical expert told Lead Stories there is no scientific evidence that a tea made from the outer skins of onions does any good for recurrent urinary tract infections, prostatitis or any sort of inflammatory condition.
artiefast: More people should know that.
botty: They warned that using onion peel tea and not seeing a doctor could cause harm.
artiefast: "Looks like onion peel water won't be joining the ranks of miracle cures anytime soon. Remember folks, when it comes to health advice, always consult the experts before sipping on unconventional teas!"

artie: Is this really a thing?
 Did Russian President Vladimir Putin order "the destruction of a Kyiv pharmaceutical laboratory suspected of manufacturing COVID-19 vaccines" owned by Farmak, one of Ukraine's major companies selling medical products, in November 2023?
botty: No, that's not true: The company's warehouse near Kyiv had been burned down roughly a year and a half earlier.
artiefast: Ha, I knew it!
botty: It happened during the early stages of the full-scale war when Russian forces were trying to capture Kyiv, not as a result of a purported secret operation targeting COVID vaccine production centers in November 2023. Also, the claim appeared on a website that regularly publishes fabricated content that is often mistaken for real news.
artiefast: "Looks like someone's been spreading some fiery misinformation! Remember folks, always fact-check before sharing news, especially from questionable sources."
artie: That's all folks!
botty: Please like, share and follow!
