The Associated Press Just ‘Fact Checked’ Another Meme

“The fabricated screenshot is blurry, and there is slight discoloration behind some of the words.”

The Associated Press has ‘fact checked’ a meme that suggested Shinzo Abe, the former Japanese president who was shot dead last week, had said he was going to leak information that could lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton.

Yes really.

The meme spread quickly on social media following the horrific assassination of Abe during a speech at a campaign rally in the western city of Nara.

The point of the meme is to highlight that a startling number of people who have formerly worked under the Clintons have been killed in mysterious circumstances or committed ‘suicide’.

Yes, it may be considered somewhat insensitive to post this on the same day as Abe’s assassination, but no one was seriously suggesting it was real.

No matter, the AP’s ‘fact checkers’ ran an investigation anyway.

The AP further noted that “Archived images of his legitimate Twitter account spanning several days this week, including as recently as Tuesday, show that these account details have not changed. Further, no such tweet about Clinton currently appears on his profile.”

The in depth probe continued,“A translation of the Japanese text in the fabricated tweet shows that it is a truncated phrase that does not mention Clinton. It says, ‘to repeat, I,’”.

And on it went…

“There are other signs the image has been manipulated. The fabricated screenshot is blurry, and there is slight discoloration behind some of the words.”

And there was more…

“The Japanese characters by the incorrect username appear pixelated and stretched. It also uses a different typeface for some words than the one that is typically displayed on Twitter.”

Well, thank god that is cleared up.

This is not the first time memes have been subject to such ‘fact checks’ by the truth overlords.

It isn’t even the first time a meme purporting that Hillary Clinton committed a crime has been fact checked.

These so called fact checkers aren’t impartial, independent outlets, they are merely hyper-partisan information attack dogs working on behalf of the regime.

As we highlighted last month, USA Today, which is used as a ‘fact checker’ by many social media platforms, was forced to delete 23 articles from its website after an investigation found one of its reporters had fabricated sources.

    Oxfam ‘Inclusivity’ Guide Tells Staff to Avoid Using ‘Offensive’ Words Like ‘Mother’, ‘People’ and ‘Headquarters’

    Language policing manifesto slammed by critics as woke garbage.

    Oxfam has released an “inclusive language” guide which apologizes for using the English language before going on to deem a number of words ‘offensive’, such as “headquarters,” “local,” “people,” “mother” and “feminine hygiene.”

    Yes, really.

    The poverty and hunger charity was slammed for caving to absurd levels of political correctness after issuing the bizarre 92-page guidance to staff members.

    “We recognise that this guide has its origin in English, the language of a colonising nation. We acknowledge the Anglo-supremacy of the sector as part of its coloniality,” states the introduction.

    “This guide aims to support people who have to work and communicate in the English language as part of this colonial legacy. However, we recognise that the dominance of English is one of the key issues that must be addressed in order to decolonise our ways of working and shift power.”

    Apparently, merely using the English language is now racist and offensive.

    The word “headquarters” is criticized because it “implies a colonial power dynamic,” while “field trip” is also frowned upon because it can “reinforce colonial attitudes.”

    null

    Staff are even told not to say they “stand with” people they support because it “potentially alienates people unable to stand,” while even the word “people” is to be avoided because “is often misunderstood as only referring to men.”

    “Mother or father” are also verboten because it is important to “avoid assuming the adoption of gendered roles by transgender parents,” according to the guide, while “feminine hygiene” is also a bad term because it implies menstruation is dirty.

    Even the terms “LGBT, LGBTQIX, homosexuality, gay and lesbian” are to be avoided because people who consider themselves part of “the whole LGBTQIA+ community” might be offended if the ‘plus’ isn’t used.

    Critics slammed the ludicrous language guide and said that Oxfam should concentrate on charity work rather than policing the words people are allowed to use.

    “In Africa, women have a one in 37 chance of dying in pregnancy,” said Maya Forstater, who founded pressure group Sex Matters. “But Oxfam seems to think what’s really important is erasing clear language about the very people who are most at risk.”

    “How is ignoring and denigrating the world’s mothers good for development?’ she asked. “This guidance is trying to apply fashionable ideas about gender identity to people around the world who don’t think like this and are dealing with the ordinary problems men and women face every day.”

    null

    “Most people will find this particular use of valuable time and resources by Oxfam totally bizarre. It would do them well to remember the old adage that actions speak louder than words,” asserted Tory former minister Robert Buckland.

    Free speech activist Toby Young highlighted Oxfam’s mishandling of the scandal surrounding their staff sexually exploiting children after the 2010 Haiti earthquake, noting, “It’s rather like being lectured by a finger-wagging vicar from behind his pulpit even though he’s been publicly disgraced.”

    “It would be altogether more sensible if Oxfam focused on its core mission of alleviating poverty and starvation,” said Young.

    However, the charity doubled down on its woke insanity, releasing a statement clarifying, “This guide is not prescriptive but helps authors communicate in a way that is respectful to the diverse range of people with which we work. We are proud of using inclusive language; we won’t succeed in tackling poverty by excluding marginalised groups.”
