Fact-Checkers go after video from Chief Creative Officer for Turning Point USA, Benny Johnson, that criticizes Nancy Pelosi for sounding drunk: Facebook fact-checker Lead Stories labeled a video from Benny Johnson, in which he criticizes Nancy Pelosi for sounding drunk, as false information. Overlaid throughout the video is text that reads, "Is Pelosi drunk in this clip? You watch and decide." Lead Stories eventually swooped in, arguing, "No, that's not true: Pelosi staff and family members have publicly declared the House Speaker does not drink alcohol and no publicly available evidence disproves them." Throughout the video Johnson criticizes two clips of the current speaker of the house for what he sees as a declining cognitive state. During one of the clips contained within Johnson's video Pelosi can be heard saying with an odd inflection, "in order to open these doors we do not say 'open sesame,' we say 'open Biden' that's our magic word. 'Open Biden,' I love it." Lead Stories said in its fact-check that Johnson's video is based on a 14-second clip "of Pelosi introducing President Joe Biden at the 2021 House Democratic Issues Conference. Missing is the part of the introduction when she explained 'Open Biden' refers to something her 4- and 5-year-old grandsons once said." Lead Stories notes that while the clip is not digitally altered, by "presenting only the 14-second clip of Pelosi telling the story of something her grandsons said leaves out context that makes it make sense." The fact-check also goes on trying to use Johnson's affiliation with Turning Point and the conservative movement as reasoning for why the video is false information. When videos are fact-checked they are automatically suppressed via Facebook's algorithm. Per Facebook's policy, "Once a fact-checker rates a piece of content as False, Altered or Partly False, it will appear lower in News Feed, be filtered out of Explore on Instagram, and be featured less prominently in Feed and Stories. This significantly reduces the number of people who see it. We also reject ads with content that has been rated by fact-checkers."
