…”reporting specifically about Tarrio indicates he is not listed as an ICE agent; he is instead labeled in non-agent roles such as “propagandist/agitator,” and fact-checkers reject the claim that he said he works for ICE as a statement of fact. [leadstories +1 ⬇️

Oh, we are well aware of that. Nobody clicks the link in the description :-)

But the short, automated video versions of our fact checks (for example here: www.tiktok.com/@leadstories) do show up in search results, so at least we're reaching some people with the information they need.

Cécilia Attias a publié cette fausse citation de Dostoievski sur X. Je l'aurai bien debunkée mais le taf est déjà fait (fakenews.pl, leadstories, leguichetdusavoir). Mais, j'ai vu que FOG l'utilise dans son dernier roman et... Monique Canto-Sperber dans la liberté cherchant son peuple. C'est grave.

Failed reading comprehension? I didn't say it was a trump lie. My point was, people read it and believe it, whether trump said it or not, and there are consequences.

Also, that graphic isn't taken from an Onion article. The Onion isn't even mentioned in that story from LeadStories. Try to keep up.

I’m also very skeptical about leadstories but I’d verified separately. I agree that nothing should distract us from what these thugs are doing.

I believe you.. don't need any further evidence. I reacted by taking down the posts. Still going to be skeptical about leadstories.. other more credible sources include Reuters. Let it not distract that they are detaining children.

@mdainbtown.bsky.social

Acknowledged. As of now, based on what I've read about leadstories dot com, I'm going to elect to view their assessments with a healthy dose of skepticism. More inclined to trust Reuters and the like.
