Life is complicated, and so is politics. Headlines are designed to catch your eye, but a headline canโt give the full story, and neither can a short social media post. If it sounds unbelievable, it probably is. So, read the whole story, not just the headline.

It only takes a few clicks to change or enhance content to create entirely different meanings and narratives.โฏIf you see a video or hear a recording of a public figure saying something sensational, be aware that it might be fake.โฏ
