Don't be fooled... artie: Hello and welcome to The Daily NOT! A show about what didn't happen today.

How about you Botty? Had doctors aboard the Brazilian airline flight that crashed in August 2024 vowed to release evidence linking mRNA technology to "turbo cancer", as an article by The People's Voice said? botty: No, that's not true: The People's Voice is a website with a long history of publishing made up news and it provided no sources to back up the part about the vow in the headline. As of now there is also no scientific evidence "turbo cancer" is a real disease. artiefast: So there was more to it. botty: Lead Stories cross-referenced a passenger list published by Voepass airline and found that although it was confirmed several passengers had medical backgrounds, including in cancer research, there is no evidence that any vowed to release evidence linking mRNA vaccines to "turbo cancer." artiefast: Remember, always fact-check before sharing sensational headlines.

Did Taylor Swift endorse Donald Trump in August 2024? botty: No, that's not true: There is no evidence that Swift said she wanted people to vote for Trump in the 2024 presidential election campaign. The image of Swift as Uncle Sam with the phrase "TAYLOR WANTS YOU TO VOTE FOR DONALD TRUMP" appears to be AI generated. artiefast: Can you explain that to me like I was five? botty: Swift endorsed Joe Biden in 2020 and spoke out against Trump that year. There are no credible news reports that Swift threw her support behind Trump in 2024 election. artiefast: Remember folks, always fact check before sharing! Don't believe everything you see online.

Did Michael Jordan say that kids who "can afford $8 cups of coffee" can also afford "to pay their own student loans" as a viral post on Facebook said? botty: No, that's not true: the quote first appeared on a Facebook page that is part of a network of self-described satire websites and pages known for for publishing made-up stories. artiefast: Ha, I knew it! botty: If a global celebrity like Jordan had really said these words it would have been major news but Lead Stories found no such news reports after searches on Google and Google News. artiefast: Remember, just because something is shared on social media doesn't make it true.

Did the World Health Organization order governments to "Prepare for 'Mega Lockdowns' Due to 'Deadly Monkeypox' Strain"? botty: No, that's not true: WHO responded to a Lead Stories inquiry about the report of orders for lockdown preparation with "It is false." Preparations for or even the suggestion of major lockdowns because of the monkeypox virus would be major news worldwide, yet there have been no news stories about it. artiefast: What else have you found? botty: The World Health Organization does not have the power to force any government to do anything. artiefast: Remember folks, always fact check before spreading rumors about deadly monkeypox causing 'mega lockdowns'. Trust the experts, not the internet gossip!
