bottyfast: Beware of rumors during breaking news events.  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!.

Fact Check: Video Does NOT Show Israelis Fleeing Iranian Aerial Attack -- It's Fans Mobbing One Direction Singer In Argentina

artie: Here's another question for you.
 Does footage on social media show Israelis panicking and running after Iranian missiles and drones hit Israel's airspace April 13, 2024?
botty: No, that's not true: The footage had already been on social media for a week when Iran attacked Israel.
artiefast: That's unexpected.
botty: It shows a crowd running on April 6, 2024 toward the Four Seasons hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina, where former One Direction singer Louis Tomlinson made an appearance outside the hotel to sign autographs and take pictures with fans. It had nothing to do with the attack launched a week later by Iran against Israel.
artiefast: Remember folks, always double check your sources before sharing videos online. And maybe don't confuse a One Direction concert with a war zone next time!

artie: I guess I could Google this, but I might as well ask you. Did Australian law enforcement identify a Sydney mall attacker as "Benjamin Cohen"?
botty: No, that's not true: The police said that the man's name was Joel Cauchi.
artiefast: That's good context.
botty: The claim originated from an account on X that self-identifies as aligned with a Russian state information outlet.
artiefast: Remember folks, always fact check before sharing information online. Don't believe everything you see on social media!
artie: That's all folks!
botty: Please like, share and follow!
