"On Friday, Fox News published an article with the headline 'SNAP Beneficiaries Threaten to Ransack Stores Over Government Shutdown.' The piece, written by Alba Cuebas-Fantauzzi and filed under the site’s 'cultural trends' section, featured quotes from several Black women complaining about losing their food stamp benefits."

Fox News Ran AI-Generated Racist Videos as News, Then Tried to Cover It Up

The fake videos featured Black women with "seven baby daddies" complaining about SNAP cuts. Even if they'd been real, this would still be journalistic malpractice.

"One woman, the article reported, said she had 'seven different baby daddies and none of ‘em no good for me.' Another declared: 'It is the taxpayer’s responsibility to take care of my kids.'

There’s just one problem: these women don’t exist. They’re AI-generated."

@wdlindsy Fox knows it's audience. The target audience BELIEVES this. Not cos they're unaware it's been faked. But bcos they BELIEVE it. Sure, the video may have been fake, but what it's portraying is true. I know that cos I BELIEVE it.
