Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif has posted a compilation video of senior Trump administration officials including the president himself outlining why the US can have no say in deciding whether the United Nations introduces crushing ‘snapback sanctions’ against Tehran. The clip starts with Donald Trump announcing the US withdrawal from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) nuclear […]

The US Customs and Border Protection agency has taken credit for a Portland protester’s hot-button arrest this week, saying the man was a criminal suspect. Critics, however, claim he was ‘kidnapped’ by agents wearing no insignia. The CBP sought to address the incident in a statement on Friday, noting that the protester arrested one day prior was suspected of vandalism and attacks on agents amid anti-police brutality demonstrations, which it said were organized by “violent anarchists.” “CBP agents had information indicating the person… was suspected of assaults against federal agents or destruction of federal property,” the agency said, adding that “once […]
CNN’s Jake Tapper was confronted with coverage from his own show claiming masks were “not needed” during the Covid-19 pandemic, after he tweeted Donald Trump may have saved lives if he’d worn them in public months ago. “Some day someone will do a study on how many lives might have been saved if this happened in February or March,” Tapper tweeted, reacting to the president being pictured for the first time wearing a mask. Shaming citizens for refusing to wear masks in public – despite many states and businesses requiring them – has become commonplace on social media, but in “February […]
Trump critics were very quick to give the US president a history lesson after he seemingly mistook the Vietnam War for the Gulf War during his Independence Day speech… except that he didn’t. A short clip circulating on social media seemed to suggest that Donald Trump mistakenly said that Operation Desert Storm – an offensive against Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein in the 1990 Gulf War – actually took place in “the dense fields and jungles of Vietnam” during his July 4 address. Some Twitter warriors quickly jumped in to blast and mock the president for what looked like an embarrassing gaffe […]

Two people have been arrested in the Indian state of Gujarat for recently attacking an idol of a Hindu deity at a temple in a bid to make a sensational video for Chinese app TikTok. The incident occurred in Rajkot. According to the police, the accused shot a TikTok clip and uploaded it to WhatsApp and social media on 28 June. Police said that the two […]
White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany on Monday morning told Fox News that the reason why President Donald Trump tweeted a video featuring one of his supporters chanting “white power” is that he was trying to voice support for his “demonized” supporters. The president sparked intense backlash on Sunday morning when he shared a clip of residents of Central Florida senior community The Villages confronting protesters. At the beginning of the clip, one of the residents repeatedly shouts out the racist catchphrase, prompting Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) to publicly call for Trump to take down the tweet. Roughly an hour after […]
Twitter has again slapped a “manipulated media” tag on a tweet from US President Donald Trump – a meme video mocking CNN – prompting cheers from the #Resistance, which apparently missed what many saw as an “obvious joke.” Shared to Twitter by the president on Thursday evening, the post played off an old viral video showing two toddlers, one black and one white, as they run to embrace one another. Parodying the adorable clip, Trump’s tweet features a mock CNN chyron captioned “Terrified toddler runs from racist baby.” Twitter, however, apparently decided that netizens would have a hard time telling actual CNN news […]
Lightweight contender Tony Ferguson has publicly called out rival Conor McGregor for the first time since his brutal defeat to Justin Gaethje at UFC 249, repeating his claim that the Irishman is soft via a social media animation. The former interim champion showed himself running with a wolf and a bear before producing an animation changing the look of a title scene from video game Grand Theft Auto to namecheck his private Snapdown City gym in Los Angeles where he trains before fights. He then used the callout video to variously portray himself as a bloodied gangster, chart topper Drake and the grim […]
New Delhi (Sputnik): At a time when confirmed COVID-19 cases have exceeded 266,000 in India, the central government has partly “unlocked” the country to reopen the economy. After more than two months of nationwide lockdown, people who still have jobs just want to make it to work – irrespective of the pandemic scare. The Indian government on Monday allowed the functioning of offices, restaurants, malls, and places of worship – while urging companies to call minimum staff to work and requesting those going out to maintain social distancing at all times. In a bid to catch up on the usual fast-paced working […]

Earlier in May, the Scottish First Minister rejected accusations of covering up a COVID-19 outbreak during a Nike conference in Edinburgh. A video circulated by the independent Scottish broadcaster STV, showing children praising First Minister Nicola Sturgeon’s anti-coronavirus efforts, has been removed after viewers compared the footage to coverage from North Korea. “This particular video was not part of a story, had no context around it, and did not meet our high standards for […]
India 12:24 GMT 15.05.2020Get short URL New Delhi (Sputnik): The past few weeks have divided locked down idle Indians into gangs of YouTubers and TikTokers. Both of the video platforms are quite popular in India, with over 265 million and 119 million users respectively. However, the latter is more often blamed for “cringeworthy content” that it spills on social media. One of India’s “most popular” YouTubers Ajay Nagar, who also goes by the name of CarryMinati and has over 16 million subscribers, recently uploaded a video of himself roasting TikTok “star” Amir Siddiqui who has 3.4 million followers on the Chinese […]
MSNBC anchor Chuck Todd on Tuesday apologized for his Sunday commentary on an edited clip of Attorney General Bill Barr that sparked outrage and prompted President Donald Trump to call for him to be fired, saying it was a “mistake” he wished he “hadn’t made.” During a panel discussion on this past weekend’s broadcast of Meet the Press, Todd aired a short clip of Barr’s CBS News interview on the Justice Department dropping charges against former national security adviser Michael Flynn. The portion that was shown featured Barr, when asked how history would judge his decision, saying: “History is written by […]
ABC late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel on Friday half-heartedly apologized for a deceptively edited clip of Vice President Mike Pence supposedly admitting to carrying empty boxes of personal protective equipment to a nursing home in Virginia as part of a publicity stunt. During his Thursday night broadcast, Kimmel mocked the vice president over the press event which showed a maskless Pence helping other workers deliver PPE from FEMA to the front of the facility. “Here he is, with no mask on, wheeling boxes of PPEs into a health-care center, and doing his best to lift them,” Kimmel said, narrating over […]
