❌ NO: No, Democrats didn’t pay Taylor Swift & Billie Eilish millions for endorsements ahead of the midterms. ⚠️ The viral falsehoods were made by removing audio from media clips of the musicians & adding captions with fabricated claims. 👉🏾 Read more on RumorGuard: go.newslit.org/FakeEndorsem...
A post reads, “Billie Eilish has received 120 million dollars from the Democratic Party of the United States. Taylor Swift is willing to support the Democrats and gender reassignment surgeries for minors in exchange for 500 million dollars” and includes screenshots from two videos that repeat this claim.

A graphic with a blue background has two items. Upper
left is what’s meant to be a badge. On it reads “You” with a blank face, and
below that “Journalist.” Taking up most of the image is a notebook. The header,
white text in a blue box, says “SEVEN STANDARDS OF.” Below that in green:
“Quality Journalism.” Below that are 7 headers with plain text below
them.

1: Multiple Credible Sources: People in a position to
know relevant facts and details, including eyewitnesses, officials and
experts.

2: Avoidance of Bias**:** Presenting
the facts

and necessary context in a dispassionate manner.

3: Documentation: Reports, studies, data, videos,
photos and audio recordings.

4 Fairness: Treating sources and subjects with
appropriate respect, and giving subjects a chance to share their points of view
or respond to any assertions or allegations about them.

5 Verification: The process of checking and confirming
all facts and details in a report.

6 Balance: Representing multiple sides of the issue,
event or controversy — but without giving undue weight or legitimacy to one
side or point of view.

7 Context: Presenting the facts in a way that makes
their meaning clear, fair and accurate.

A social media post from “ragebaitnews” includes a picture of musician Ed Sheeran and the text, “SPOTIFY HAS REMOVED ED SHEERANS SONGS FROM THE PLATFORM.” The post included additional text that read, “Macklemore was removed from Ed Sheeran’s U.S. tour after making pro-Palestinian statements onstage. Several venues reportedly objected to keeping him on the lineup. Sheeran said the decision came from the promoter and venues, not him personally. Multiple supporting artists later pulled out in solidarity with Macklemore. The situation has sparked debate over political expression at major concerts.” The News Literacy Project has added a label that says “FALSE.”
