We have two examples today. 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: Let's get started!. SEGMENT 04 Fact Check: Dior Did NOT Replace Bella Hadid With Israeli Model Due To Hadid's Support Of Palestine To regenerate: perl rerun.pl https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2023/12/fact-check-dior-did-not-replace-bella-hadid-with-israeli-model-due-to-hadids-support-of-palestine.html 04 "QUIP" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- artie: What can you tell me about this, Botty? Did Dior fashion house replace Bella Hadid with Israeli model May Tager due to Hadid's support of Palestine? botty: No, that's not true: Hadid left Dior and joined beauty brand Charlotte Tilbury in March 2023, as the company publicly announced on its social media pages. artiefast: That's good to know. botty: This was seven months before the 2023 Hamas-Israel war erupted. Tager is not new to Dior. She modeled for the brand's 2022 holiday campaign. artiefast: "Looks like the fashion world is keeping us on our toes! Remember folks, always double-check the facts before jumping to conclusions." SEGMENT 06 Fact Check: Video Does NOT Prove A Gaza Family Was 'Mourning Over A Doll' To regenerate: perl rerun.pl https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2023/12/fact-check-video-does-not-show-a-doll.html 06 "QUIP" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- artie: So, Botty, what's the real story here? Does a post on social media confirm that a Palestinian family grieved over a doll wrapped in white for burial, staging their loss? botty: No, that's not true: The available body of evidence strongly suggests that the footage showed the body of an infant. artiefast: I should have known that! botty: The scene was shot from multiple angles by at least two different people, and both said it was a 5-month-old male baby, and the visuals are consistent with post-mortem changes in humans. Furthermore, the Israeli newspaper The Jerusalem Post -- which at first had repeated social media claims it was a doll -- later retracted its claim. artiefast: "Remember, folks, before jumping to conclusions based on social media posts, it's always important to verify the facts and consider multiple sources. Don't let misinformation lead you astray." SEGMENT 08 Fact Check: NO Definitive Proof Oregano In Its Natural Form 'Protects Against Cancer' To regenerate: perl rerun.pl https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2023/12/fact-check-no-definitive-proof-oregano-in-its-natural-form-protects-against-cancer.html 08 "QUIP" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- artie: So Botty, what is the actual story here? Is oregano in its natural form known to definitively "protect against cancer? botty: " No, that's not true: The herb itself has anti-cancer properties, and herbal extracts have been shown to inhibit -- and even kill -- cancerous cells in laboratory studies using human cells, a dietician confirmed to Lead Stories. artiefast: How do you keep finding all this? botty: However, we found no evidence that clinical studies have occurred in human populations, nor have laboratory findings in living organisms confirmed that eating oregano in its natural form will prevent the disease. In short, more research is needed to determine whether consuming oregano in any form may "protect against cancer." A video shared to Facebook claiming as much appeared to be generated using artificial intelligence. The clip was not supported by a medical expert or doctor, nor was evidence given to support the claim. artiefast: "Looks like oregano might not be the superhero we thought it was against cancer. Remember folks, always double-check those health claims before sprinkling herbs on everything!" SEGMENT 10 Fact Check: Mixture Of Carrots, Onions, Garlic And Lime Juice Does NOT Make 'Effective Remedy' For Cancer To regenerate: perl rerun.pl https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2023/12/fact-check-mixture-of-carrots-onions-garlic-and-limes-does-not-make-effective-remedy-for-cancer.html 10 "QUIP" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- artie: I'm looking for more context on the next thing. Does drinking a mixture of carrots, onions and garlic in lime juice cure "any form of cancer" between stages one and three? botty: No, that's not true: The vice president of research from the American Institute for Cancer Research (AICR) told Lead Stories that there is no evidence to support this claim and to claim that this mixture can cure all cancers is "beyond fantasy." artiefast: Are there more details? botty: An oncology nutrition therapist told Lead Stories that the AICR recommends eating mostly plant-based foods to prevent cancer, but there is no singular food that can cure cancer. artiefast: "Looks like this cancer remedy is just a recipe for disappointment. Remember, when it comes to health claims, always consult the experts!" SEGMENT 12 Fact Check: NFL Referees Do NOT Now Have The Authority To Disqualify Players For Anthem Kneeling -- Story Is From A Satire Site To regenerate: perl rerun.pl https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2023/12/fact-check-nfl-referees-do-not-now-have-the-authority-to-disqualify-players-for-anthem-kneeling-its-a-satire-site.html 12 "QUIP" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- artie: Is this really a thing? Do NFL referees now have the authority to disqualify players for kneeling in protest during the national anthem? botty: No, that's not true: This claim comes from a satirical website that has a history of fabricating content surrounding popular topics. artiefast: Good thing I asked. botty: The site carries a disclaimer that states, "Everything on this website is fiction." Lead Stories found no credible reports about what would be a newsworthy rule-change if it actually had happened. artiefast: "Looks like someone got tackled by fake news! Remember folks, always double-check your sources before jumping to conclusions." artie: That's all folks! botty: Please like, share and follow!
