Fact checking is becoming hard in a world of AI. But have you seen this video of Joe Biden apparently being distracted by the music coming from an ice cream truck?
It’s pretty clear it’s a fake, but now the world’s largest news organisation has been lampooned for actually fact checking the video as if it might be real.
The outlet was concerned by the spread of viral clips of Biden, while listening to first lady Jill Biden, walking away after apparently hearing a happy ice truck jingle.
Reuters linked to a CSPAN clip to show there was no ice cream music. They’ve concluded the video was digitally altered to include the music.
