Speaker 2 (00:16):
How do you come back from this? I mean, honestly,
Reuters Thompson Reuters, Guys, it's time to close. I mean,
we've seen brands screw up bud Light, bud Light Skin.
I knew that they would work their way back. It
was going to take a little bit of time. It'd

(00:37):
have to change the way that they're doing their advertising
using Shane Gillis. They're doing it right now, Jaguar. I
don't know if they're ever going to come back from
that ad. I really don't.

Speaker 3 (00:50):
But here we have a news organization Reuters, Reuters thumpson
Reuters on a canary wharf in London, Reuters.

Speaker 2 (01:01):
I'm not making this up, okay again, a website out
there that it brings me joy. It does. They're funny
as hell. I love satire. I love people that can
laugh at themselves, make fun of other things. Joker, I
love all that stuff. Okay, this is what men do.

(01:24):
I still haven't got My wife doesn't really seem to understand.
That's how we communicate, by what we like to call
busting balls.

Speaker 3 (01:32):
That's what we do.

Speaker 2 (01:33):
But anyway, not neither here nor there. Reuters sent their
team of fact checkers. Yeah, they're a team of fact checkers,
and they went after again one of my again, a
great site, Babylon b Babylon Bee satire website The babble

(01:54):
Be put out an article that stated the most favored
farewell in the UK right now, cheerio mate has been
replaced with alo akbar. And in the piece, it states
a recent poll conducted by the University of Oxford just
revealed that aloakbar has replaced chindio mate as the most

(02:18):
popular greeting in the UK. Experts called the results of
the survey a flip and landslide Old Bean. The editor
in chief of The Babylon Bee, Kyle Man God Bless Him,
shared all of this stuff on x noting that Reuter's
fact checkers reached out for comment on the Babylon Bee

(02:43):
satire piece alo acbar replacing cheerio mate. I tried to
help them out. Man shared screenshots of the ridiculous message
he was sent by Reuters. I'm not kidding. I'm contacting
you from the fact checking Deak Scott Reuters. We investigate

(03:05):
false and misleading claim spreading on social media. Our fact
checks can help curb the circulation of misinformation by going
after satire OOKI the message continues. We're currently looking into

(03:28):
the claim that sharing a Babylon b article says Alu
Akbar has officially replaced cheerio mate as the most popular
greeting in the UK. I have paceted it below for
your convenience. We plan to write a fact check to
check our record straight and then they actually say it's

(03:49):
clearly a satirical article. But I'm reaching out to you.
Should you wish to challenge this or comment in the
fact check article, please get in touch if you would
like to. If it is clearly a satire, h, why

(04:14):
why are you fact checking it? Why? What? Wh Why
are you wasting time checking a satire? I got an idea,
I got any what if what if they changed? Do

(04:35):
you think Ruters? I think Ruters would be doing the
same thing if I don't know, let's let's say Babylon
Butie wouldn't have been as funny was saying. Oh, we're
going to the Bible. Belton. You know, a popular greeting
praise Jesus has been replaced with something. Do you do
you think that they would be fact checking it? No?

(05:00):
No again, How do you people have jobs? How do
you people have job? I don't know you're gonna start,
you know, fact checking like Monty Python's history that, I
mean what Watchdog on Wall Street dot Com
