Did Neverland Ranch investigators discover the real corpse of Michael Jackson in 2005? botty: No, that's not true: The source for the information in the video on TikTok is an article published on The Onion, a well-known satire website. artiefast: I'd like to get more info. botty: There is no attribution to The Onion for the information in the video. The news article shown as the source for details about Jackson doesn't display the name of the publication. artiefast: Remember folks, always double check your sources before believing what you see online. And maybe stick to real news outlets, not The Onion! SEGMENT 06 Fact Check: NO Evidence 'Budweiser Brands' Were Not Invited To Great American Beer Festival For First Time Since 1982 To regenerate: perl rerun.pl https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2024/03/fact-check-no-evidence-budweiser-brands-were-not-invited-to-great-american-beer-festival-for-first-time-since-1982.html 06 "QUIP" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- artie: So Botty, what is the actual story here?

Remember folks, always fact-check before raising a glass to fake news. SEGMENT 08 Fact Check: Video Does NOT Show Bill Gates Advocating Destroying Agricultural Land -- Portions Of Gates' Remarks Have Been Cut To regenerate: perl rerun.pl https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2024/03/fact-check-video-does-not-show-bill-gates-advocating-destroying-agricultural-land.html 08 "QUIP" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- artie: Can you tackle this item next? Does a video prove Bill Gates suggested destroying agricultural land? botty: No, that's not true: A convoluted post on social media cut out portions of Gates' response to a question, changing the context of what he said. The edited clip of Gates speaking at the Economic Club of Washington, D.C., in 2019 was merged with an unrelated video showing cattle running from a wildfire in Texas in February 2024 to give the impression Gates suggested something which he did not. artiefast: That's unexpected. botty: Gates was not speaking favorably about burning land to release carbon, and while did he suggest that cattle production adds methane to earth's atmosphere, he did not suggest that herds of cattle should be destroyed with wildfires. artiefast: Well, looks like someone tried to crop out the truth! Remember folks, always fact check before you hit that share button. artie: That's all folks! botty: Please like, share and follow!
