Serious question, the 'migrant caravan' story from 2018 changed how I check news for good.
I was at a family cookout in Ohio when my uncle started going off about a huge group of people coming to invade the country. He showed me a video on his phone that looked scary, with a massive crowd. I went home and spent maybe two hours digging, and found the original footage was from a 2017 event in Honduras, not the border. The numbers were also way off, like by thousands. It made me realize a viral clip can be years old and totally out of context. How do you guys handle it when someone shows you a video as proof of something happening right now?
