Fox News - El Paso 'hero' arrested by Secret Service before meeting Trump at White House
A Texas man touted as a hero following last month's mass shooting at a Walmart store in El Paso, Texas, was detained by Secret Service agents upon his arrival at the White House on Monday due to an outstanding criminal warrant, according to a report.

And now authorities say Chris Grant, 50, may have lied about his supposedly heroic deeds amid gunfire that left 22 people dead and about two dozen more wounded.

But El Paso police spokesman Sgt. Enrique Carrillo told the Washington Examiner that Grant’s “statements were inconsistent with what was revealed on video." He said Grant was visible in the footage but did not reveal what his actions were.

"Nobody bothered to check with us," El Paso police spokesman Sgt. Enrique Carrillo told the Examiner. "They would have been informed, as I am telling you now, that our detectives reviewed hours of video and his actions did not match his account."


Seriously? FOX would report that? Essentially a retraction? Must be the Shep Smith/Chris Wallace wing. Maybe Bret Baier?

What is the solution? I haven't a guess.
There isn't a solution. AI will soon learn enough to trick any/all humans all of the time.

Humans do that to each other already...

Some such 'artists' are proud to call themselves con-artists...

We've had thousands of years of such practice.

The question with the surge in new "AI" tools is whether the artificial stuff is evolving faster than us biological stuff can...

And the Russians have already proved what is possible.

Just look at their propaganda that a few here have already posted in these threads over the last couple of years (Eye being the best example of those by far). ;-)

BTW, "I haven't a guess", is really very bad English especially for someone who claims to be a ex-teacher (amongst the many other ex's).

It either should've been, "I couldn't even guess", or, "I havn't got a clue", but the last in this case would be the better example all round there. ;-)

Anyhow, for more Fake News just ask v2.0 (the World's No.1 economic terrorist & would be if he could be dictator and warmonger, but he's getting closer to achieving all 3 titles) as he supplies plenty of it (or the Russian sourced stuff that some just love to death) to keep all those red capped mushrooms fed.

Dear Wiggo "Democrat Socialist" and formally known as just Wiggo "Socialist".

I did explain awhile back.

#1 - Not being the best at English, vocabulary, etc. I would give one of my student's extra credit to review my written notes.

#2 - My expertise is understanding History and it's confirmation that Socialism and all other systems giving control over government and the means of production to imperfect humans and some will be evil. Has always and will always destroy the people and their economy.

#3 - Continue to personally attack when unable to defend your ideological positions.

Yes... As with most Anti-Liberal and Intolerant Right Wing Extremists, White Supremacists and Religious Fundamentalist's. Most Anti-Liberal and Intolerant Left Wing Extremist's, Communist's and Socialist's are unable to compete in the arena of differing idea's.

NZ Herald - Copy of WaPo - 'We are outgunned': Top AI researchers race to detect 'deepfake' videos

Following up on the fake "Nancy drunk" video, AI experts admit they are unable to keep up and that any humiliating videos of politicians in the race for the 2020 election should be treated with caution and checked before liking, copying or linking on social media.

Original article https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2019/06/12/top-ai-researchers-race-detect-deepfake-videos-we-are-outgunned/?utm_term=.4f1ec9100f6c

I read the same article. Referencing Journalism News and not Social Media.

They better double check, triple check and quadruple check before showing any video they didn't take that was sent to them or they come across.

Another example of Never Trump Fake News:

Trump: The Art of the Comeback
Published October 27th 1997 by Crown Business
Trump's story begins when many real estate moguls went belly-up in what he calls the Great Depression of 1990.

Add that the present day lying NY Times headlined back in 1995 calling Trump 'the comeback kid' from his loses.

Therefore, the lying Never Trump Media lying that Trumps loses back then were covered up by Trump and no one, including them, knew about it. Is another Fake News story assaulting any belief in their 'News".

Yep, the Never Trump News Media and their believer's are bonkers!

Now I'm not going to go searching way back so I'll re-post instead.

Prevalence and predictors of fake news dissemination on Facebook

Overall, sharing articles from fake news domains was a rare activity. We find some evidence that the most conservative users were more likely to share this content—the vast majority of which was pro-Trump in orientation—than were other Facebook users, although this is sensitive to coding and based on a small number of respondents. Our most robust finding is that the oldest Americans, especially those over 65, were more likely to share fake news to their Facebook friends. This is true even when holding other characteristics—including education, ideology, and partisanship—constant. No other demographic characteristic seems to have a consistent effect on sharing fake news, making our age finding that much more notable.
And you can tell from their pages that they are certainly angry. ;-)

Did the Author's of the referenced article include the fake Trump/Russia Collision belief and hysteria by those under 65 in their definition of "fake news dissemination"?

Fox news is to v2.0 as Russian news is to Putin.

Plenty of news from an alternate reality.

All the follower's and believer's of Fox, CNN, MSNBC, etc. are living in their own "alternate reality".

They are very, very sad.

The manipulator offers you a number of choices, but the choices all lead to the same conclusion.
The same idea or phrase is frequently repeated to make sure it sticks in your brain.
Intense intelligence-dampening is performed by providing you with constant short snippets of information on various subjects. This trains you to have a short memory, makes the amount of information feel overwhelming, and the answers provided by the manipulator to be highly desired due to how overwhelmed you feel.
Emotional manipulation is used to put you in a heightened state, as this makes it harder for you to employ logic. Inducing fear and anger are among the most popular manipulated emotions.

Brainwashed ...
http://nymag.com/intelligencer/2019/04/i-gathered-stories-of-people-transformed-by-fox-news.html
[quote]Last week, I devoted an installment of my newsletter Welcome to Hell World to a dozen stories from people who, like me, had close relationships that had been strained or ruined by family members who’d become obsessed with Fox News.

No matter where the stories came from they all featured a few familiar beats: A loved one seemed to have changed over time. Maybe that person was already somewhat conservative to start. Maybe they were apolitical. But at one point or another, they sat down in front of Fox News, found some kind of deep, addictive comfort in the anger and paranoia, and became a different person — someone difficult, if not impossible, to spend time with. The fallout led to failed marriages and estranged parental relationships. For at least one person, it marks the final memory he’ll ever have of his father: “When I found my dad dead in his armchair, f*****n Fox News was on the TV,” this reader told me. “It’s likely the last thing he saw. I hate what that channel and conservative talk radio did to my funny, compassionate dad. He spent the last years of his life increasingly angry, bigoted, and paranoid.”{/quote]
