❌ NO: This is not from an authentic video of a large Jesus statue on the White House lawn. It's AI-generated. Tips for debunking such a falsehood: 1 - Go to the source. The account posts AI content. 2 - Do a search. Are there credible news reports? 🔗 #RumorGuard post: bit.ly/JesusStatueAI

A social media post reads, “The 200-foot statue of Jesus on the White House lawn is complete, standing tall as a reminder that no government, no leader, no law is greater than the KING of KINGS. :latin_cross::us: HIS shadow now falls over the White House” and includes a video that appears to show a large Jesus statue near the White House. The News Literacy Project has added a label that says “AI-GENERATED VIDEO.”

🤔 It's common for people of all persuasions to say "the media" is biased against their beliefs. 1 - Why do people feel this way? 2 - And what counts as bias in news? 📌 Spend some time with our infographic, which you can also download: bit.ly/NewsMediaBias #MediaLiteracy

Text-heavy infographic organized into sections on News media bias.

Top text: People across the political spectrum often feel that “the media” is biased against their beliefs and values. But what counts as bias in news? And why do so few people feel that news coverage is slanted in their favor?

Here are 6 tips to help you think clearly about this nuanced and important topic:

1 Differentiate news from opinion

2 Think about bias as a spectrum

3 Ask yourself: Compared with what?

4 Recognize your own biases

5 Be wary of media bias charts and ratings

6 Think about bias in terms of types and forms

Different types of bias … can take different forms in coverage

TYPES
“Big story” bias
Corporate bias
Demographic bias
Neutrality bias
Partisan bias

FORMS
Absence of fairness and balance
Framing
Sourcing
Story selection
Tone

Think you’ve spotted an example of biased news?
Double-check your initial perceptions by asking: What would “unbiased” news about this subject look like?

Public feedback makes journalism better

Another prompt I appreciate...if (x) is the answer, what was the question asked? Think of a created text, article, media as the response to a question. Example: Three Little Pigs...if that is the answer, the question asked might have been: Why does hard work/intentional work pay off?
