Only thing on my mind this morning is the business of journalism. And the incredible courage and integrity the @VICENews @VICEWorldNews team brings to every story. This is the valuation that matters most.
Our report on Lebanon’s economic & banking crisis is now online! This story is about just how far people will go to protect those they love & to claim back rights they say were stolen… including carrying out armed bank raids to take back their OWN money. youtu.be/QcGVGoO6WaI

This supposed BBC News video citing a non-existent report by @bellingcat is 100% fake, and a new entry in the increasingly long list of fake videos using the BBC and Bellingcat in order to spread pro-Kremlin disinformation about Ukraine.
Yet another fake BBC-Bellingcat video is doing the rounds, yet again shared by the sheyhtamir1974 Telegram channel. That's at least 7 since November 2023.

I wrote this thread a year ago today, a step-by-step guide on verifying images on the internet. With major elections in the US, UK, EU, India and many other countries this year, learning to check the veracity of images you see on social media is paramount.

This AI-generated video, circulating on Russian Telegram, claims to show a France 24 broadcast in which a presenter announces President Macron has cancelled a scheduled visit to Ukraine over fears of an assassination attempt. France 24 never aired this, it's totally fake.
