Phony conspiracy theory about Black Lives Matter
This is why Facebook is dangerous. They let this happen.
Facebook’s @nick_clegg tells @brianstelter that fact-checked content like this is “massively downgraded” in news feed. Then why on Earth was this lie the #3 post on Facebook on Friday? https://t.co/5008R4E6ZL

Fake video posted by the Trump campaign
The Trump campaign put up a post of video of Biden saying Covid-19 was a hoax. They left out the part where he said President Trump says it's a hoax. 20 years ago this would have been punished severely by the political press. They served as a check on these lies. No more.

Another fake video
This is ugly. Trump has no bottom. It’s good that Twitter labeled it but they should take it down.
Twitter has added a label to President Trump's tweet tonight saying it violates the company's policy against "manipulated media." https://t.co/4VP4vHar36

Fox News shares altered photo of Seattle protests
New: Fox News has appended an editor's note to the stories associated with the digitally altered and misleading photos it published of the Seattle "autonomous zone" that made it appear violent & dangerous. The network says it "regrets these errors."https://t.co/TcvMctX4zL

Another fake Trump video
Whoa: The White House is circulating a video which it claims shows a cache of antifa bricks, but the image is actually just a year-old security barrier set up by the Chabad Jewish center in Sherman Oaks to prevent anti-Semitic car ramming attacks. https://t.co/hTjTErAHXm
— (((Yair Rosenberg))) (@Yair_Rosenberg) June 3, 2020
This White House video includes footage of palettes of bricks in places like Sherman Oaks, New York, and Fayetteville that were absolutely not "staged." In one case, they show barricades that were erected a year ago to protect a Jewish community center: https://t.co/zLbn7jCvn7 https://t.co/WhbELCOAN7
— Craig Silverman (@CraigSilverman) June 3, 2020
NEW: Websites and social media users are sharing footage of bricks around the country to suggest that "riots were planned, orchestrated events." That's Mostly False. https://t.co/Ktgv9s7C8e pic.twitter.com/l0XtvNOUU1
— PolitiFact (@PolitiFact) June 3, 2020
“The White House deleted the tweet, without explanation or apology, after journalists including Tablet Magazine's Yair Rosenberg and CNN's Gabe Ramirez — who lives in the neighborhood — pointed out that it showed a synagogue security barrier.” https://t.co/oVsvCHQIXj

Facebook and Twitter won’t remove Trump video edited to make Pelosi look bad
We’re going to get a whole election campaign of fake videos and lies from Trump and social media won’t stop them.
Facebook and Twitter said they wouldn't take down a video posted by President Trump that was edited to make it appear as if Speaker Nancy Pelosi ripped a copy of his State of the Union address while he honored a Tuskegee airman and other guestshttps://t.co/Pp9q75Pz1r

And low educated voters in key states will say that Pelosi ripped it during speech

Trump’s disgusting retweet of a fake photo
Trump is disgusting. Republicans will just go along with this terrible behavior.
How is it okay for @POTUS to engage in name calling and tweeting fake images against the third highest ranking person in our government? I know, he does it to world leaders and 16-year-old Nobel winners. It is NOT okay and NOT normal. We have to demand he puts a stop to it!
— Jackie Speier (@RepSpeier) January 13, 2020
This retweet by the president will get not even 1% of the coverage that the Omar or Tlaib tweets that were accused of being antisemitic got. Which is yet another reminder that barely anyone in US politics or the media really gives a damn about anti Muslim bigotry or Islamophobia. https://t.co/LWNBkDKQJi

This is a little about how to spot a faked photo like the one shared by Gosar and, more broadly, about why people might not care about sharing a faked photo. https://t.co/ALBzbXcvFR

1. This meeting never happened.
— Ben Rhodes (@brhodes) January 6, 2020
2. Trump was trying to get a meeting with Rouhani at the UN last year and met Kim Jong Un who is far worse (and keeps building nukes).
3. Rouhani is still in power.
4. Do you want this war? If so, say so. Obama isn't President anymore. https://t.co/pB61oaEtbZ
Republican Congressman @DrPaulGosar just Tweeted a doctored photo that makes it look like President Obama met with the President of Iran.
— David Cicilline (@davidcicilline) January 6, 2020
Make no mistake, this is exactly the kind of thing Republicans are going to do in 2020 to hold onto power.
Gosar spoke at the Trumpstock event I went to in his district. Focusing on the fakeness of the image doesn't grasp the whole point. It's the conspiracy it perpetuates, that Obama harbored pro-Muslim sentiments rooted in his ethnic origin, that remains pervasive https://t.co/k10R7lL9BN
— Steadman™ (@AsteadWesley) January 6, 2020
A congressman posted a photoshopped picture of Obama shaking hands with Rouhani (which didn't happen), posted it, and his defense is "no one said this wasn't photoshopped."
— Parker Molloy (@ParkerMolloy) January 6, 2020
You heard it here first, folks. Unless he says otherwise, assume everything Gosar says is a lie. https://t.co/5FLUp76pis
How sad is it that a member of Congress tweets a photoshopped image? Obama and Iran's Rouhani spoke by phone but never met in person. https://t.co/HTifrQ95tE

A few things:
— Dan Pfeiffer (@danpfeiffer) January 6, 2020
1. @RepGosar is a moron.
2. The picture be tweeted is a fake.
3. There would have been nothing wrong with Obama meeting with Rouhani.
4. Mainstream Republicans are totally fine with this type of disinformation and hope you share it in outrage
GOP Rep. Paul Gosar tweeted a photoshopped image of Obama with Rouhani, apparently believing Rouhani is actually Soleimani.
