Birdwatch Note

2024-11-15 19:25:44 UTC - MISINFORMED_OR_POTENTIALLY_MISLEADING

The community note is correct. The clip was from an interview on https://www.thehour.com/ (a local Connecticut news station) and posted to YouTube with "HOUR" cropped out. The YouTube video's "About" tab mentions the source of the video. https://web.archive.org/web/20130125210934/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFyexz_IuHE https://www.thehour.com/#:~:text=Hearst%20Media%20Services%20Connecticut https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hour_(newspaper) https://archive.ph/dzNkj#selection-1941.1-1941.204:~:text=It%20appears%20they%20all%20had%20been%20in%20the%20class.%20It%20appears%20they%20had%20witnessed%20a%20shooting%2C%20maybe%20of%20their%20teacher%2C%22%20he%20said.%20%22I%20don%27t%20know%20how%20it%20happened%2C%20but%20they%20fled%2C%20en%20masse%2C%20on%20their%20own.%20They%20just%20fled This tweet is false & defamatory. https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/defamation#:~:text=Defamation%20is%20a%20statement%20that,110%20A.D.3d%201431%20 https://www.texastribune.org/2022/11/23/alex-jones-texas-lawsuit-damages/#:~:text=Jones%20has%20lost,six%20adults%20dead https://apnews.com/article/alex-jones-infowars-auction-onion-how-d42e7b2c916205b348628686c8b8dd4a#:~:text=The%20purchase%20of,more%20gun%20control https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/sandy-hook-families-offer-settle-alex-jones-15-billion-legal-debt-mini-rcna126944#:~:text=Sandy%20Hook%20families%20who%20won%20nearly%20%241.5%20billion%20in%20legal%20judgments%20against%20conspiracy%20theorist%20Alex%20Jones%20for%20calling%20the%202012%20Connecticut%20school%20shooting%20a%20hoax%20have%20offered%20to%20settle%20that%20debt%20for%20only%20pennies%20on%20the%20dollar%20%E2%80%94%20at%20least%20%2485%20million%20over%2010%20years

Original Tweet

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1857503457202389132

Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
