In reply to the discussion: Hey DUers... Melinda Gates did not donate $52 million to Kamala Harris, and Taylor Swift did not wear this shirt: [View all]Iggo
(49,927 posts)17. What I'm asking is that we put fact checking on our OWN menus.
Were grown-ups. We dont need mods to fact check for us. (Good thing, too, since we havent had mods around here in years.)
A little bit of critical thinking, along with not being born yesterday, told me that the t-shirt pic, as with virtually all other celeb t-shirt pics on the internet, was fake.
I said it in the other thread, and Ill say it again here: if you see a pic of a celeb wearing a t-shirt that says something that you like (or that you dislike), assume its shopped until you find out different.

OP
For starters, the sleeves around the shoulders and at the ends are ragged and stark in contrast to the background.

Melinda French Gates did sink $2,000,000,000 into organizations trying to advance women.

Unfortunately the one woman who needs advancement right now doesn't have any billionaires

As we all know, the Internet is a cesspool of fake information, but I like to think that most DUers are aware of this,

One would think, but fake pics/stories make the front page of DU all the time.

My point, eh? This pic has already been deemed fake. I hope someone tagged the pic as a fake too.

Yes, unfortunately. But as DUers, we on the alert, as well as the MIRT team, and tons of other DUers too.
