Reuters Just Fact Checked A Joe Biden Ice Cream Meme
The truth overlords conclude that the video has been “digitally edited.”

Reuters news agency has ‘fact checked’ a meme that shows Joe Biden wandering around looking lost while ice cream truck music (that someone dubbed over the top) plays in the background.
The footage is taken from an appearance by Joe Biden and his wife Jill Biden last year at a school in Washington DC.
At one point Biden wandered off momentarily while this wife was speaking, prompting someone to make the following funny meme:

The fun stops there however, as Twitter slapped a ‘manipulated media’ warning on it, and linked to a Reuters ‘fact check’:
A video of U.S. President Joe Biden walking away momentarily during a speech given by U.S. First Lady Jill Biden has been digitally edited to include music played by an ice cream truck https://t.co/c4KravJu6e pic.twitter.com/P1DadplRkW

Reuters further notes that “Biden can be seen walking out of frame and returning a few seconds later, but no ice cream truck can be seen in the video nor can any music be heard.”
The truth overlords conclude that the video has been “digitally edited.”
Phew, thanks for clearing that up.

This is not the first time memes have been subject to such ‘fact checks’ by the truth overlords.
These so called fact checkers aren’t impartial, independent outlets, they are merely hyper-partisan information attack dogs working on behalf of the regime.
According to this fact check, the definition of a recession isn’t being changed, even though the last ten times two consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth happened, a recession was declared.
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.
Don’t share the memes though, especially in the UK, or you’ll probably be arrested:
