Did Jennifer Lopez appear on TV with Dr. Oz to promote a weight-loss "Rice Hack"? botty: No, that's not true: A promotion on Facebook contains old video footage of Lopez which has an altered audio track, putting words in the singer's mouth and there was also some deceptive editing that removed the context of what she said. artiefast: Thanks for that! botty: In the scene from "The Dr. Oz Show," Lopez was suggesting people should drink lots of water. In another clip from the entertainment news show '"Extra" Lopez mentioned how she lost some weight by eating a vegan diet for four or five weeks. She did not promote a weight loss "Rice Hack." artiefast: "Looks like someone cooked up a fake story! Remember folks, always double-check the source before you dig into the rice hack."

Did Donald Trump say the terrorist attacks of 9/11 were the "work of the United States" during a New Hampshire campaign stop in January 2024? botty: No, that's not true: There is no credible evidence or statement from the former president making such a claim. artiefast: Are there more details? botty: Trump's comments as claimed in a social media post were either faked, taken out of context or misrepresented. artiefast: "Remember folks, before sharing shocking claims, make sure to fact-check and verify the source. Don't let misinformation hijack the truth!"

Does a composite photo on social media accurately identify three U.S. service members who died in the January 2024 drone attack on a U.S. base in Jordan? botty: No, that's not true: Those posts reused an old image of other American soldiers who died in a 2016 incident in Jordan. artiefast: Thanks for that! botty: The correct names of the three service members -- two men and a woman -- killed in the January 2024 drone attack in Jordan were released by the Department of Defense on January 29, 2024. artiefast: "Remember folks, before sharing images or stories about tragic events, always double-check the facts and verify the source.

Do vaccinated people emit Media Access Control addresses? botty: No, that's not true: A professor of electrical and computer engineering told Lead Stories that the MAC addresses in social media posts were "bluetooth technology." artiefast: Some people will be happy to hear that. botty: The Food and Drug Administration has debunked the claim that microscopic technology is in vaccines. artiefast: "Looks like some people are just trying to connect the dots between vaccines and Bluetooth. Next thing you know, they'll say we can stream Netflix from our arms!"

Does a purported insurance program offer U.S. veterans and servicemembers free home and appliance repairs? botty: No, that's not true: The supposed insurance program is not associated with the U.S. government and free services aren't available. artiefast: Good thing I asked. botty: Although the U.S. government does offer special loan and grant programs for veterans to be put toward home repair, such programs do not give out "free money." artiefast: "Looks like this insurance program needs a fact check of its own!

Remember folks, always double-check the source before hitting that share button!" artie: That's all folks! botty: Please like, share and follow!
