I'm confused. So was the flag really upsidedown or rightside up?

    upside down. The retracted article was "debunking" the upside down picture, claiming it was fake.

      So the debunkers using AI to make the upsidedown flag look like it was rightside up, were the actual deepfakers?

>A Fai campaign supporter then provided a different video of the event to OJP that showed the flag right side up.

It would be interesting to know where the "corrected" deepfake originated.

    That also contradicts the original article, which claims the right side up photo was "Provided by Nafisa Fai".

In that case, lmao at all the people who were downvoted to grey (or rather, the people who downvoted them into grey), despite being in the right.

    It's not unreasonable to expect End Wokeness to be spreading more lies about Somalian immigrants, given his track record. But the truth here was obvious to anybody willing to simply look at the evidence.

    It's comical because I posted this knowing that the publisher was blatantly lying. You could literally look at the image they posted for 5 seconds and spot what was wrong with it. I just wanted to see how many other people would notice. It's interesting the retraction come shortly after I posted it, though.

    Also worth noting at the time of this comment the lovely fact-checking website Axios is also still blatantly lying. Absolutely crazy this is all getting swept under the rug.
