I'm a layman on these matters, and Poynter usually does a pretty good job.

I'm not going to ask for a point-by-point rebuttal, but what's the most significant thing they get wrong?

Im Artikel selbst wird KI ein einziges mal erwähnt, faktisch korrekt. Und die Amerikanischen Rechtspopulisten sind nun mal unter den prominentesten Verbreitern von KI-Generierten Inhalten. Das so zu benennen ist, finde ich, nicht falsch sondern wichtig.
Screenshot from the Article. Text: The White House X account, which has around 3.5 million followers, has made at least 14 posts with AI since the start of Trump’s second term, Poynter reported in October.

White House posts digitally altered image of woman arrested after ICE protest
Guardian analysis shows images are the same, with Nekima Levy Armstrong looking composed in original but sobbing after alteration The White House posted a digitally altered image of a woman who was arrested on Thursday in a case touted by attorney general Pam Bondi, to make it seem as if she was dramatically crying, a Guardian analysis of the image has found. The woman, Nekima Levy Armstrong, also appears to have darker skin in the altered image. Armstrong was one of three people arrested on Thursday in connection to a demonstration that disrupted church services in St Paul, Minnesota, on Sunday. Demonstrators alleged that one of the pastors, David Easterwood, was the acting field director of the St Paul ICE office. Bondi announced the arrests on social media Thursday morning.

Secretary Noem stated on October 30, 2025: "No American citizens have been arrested or detained." PolitiFact rated this claim "Pants on Fire". NPR and Poynter also disputed the claim. ProPublica documented over 170 cases of U.S. citizens detained by immigration agents. #noem #citizen #usa #ice

DHS image: woman looking like she is waiting in line for a bagel. Sam Levine in New York 15:52 EST Thursday, 22 January 2026 The White House posted a digitally altered image of a woman who was arrested on Thursday in a case touted by attorney general Pam Bondi, to make it seem as if she was dramatically crying, a Guardian analysis of the image has found. The woman, Nekima Levy Armstrong, also appears to have darker skin in the altered image. Armstrong was one of three people arrested on Thursday in connection to a demonstration that disrupted church services in St Paul, Minnesota, on Sunday. Demonstrators alleged that one of the pastors, David Easterwood, was the acting field director of the St Paul ICE office. Bondi announced the arrests on social media Thursday morning Homeland security secretary Kristi Noem posted an image of Armstrong's arrest at 10.21am on Thursday, less than an hour after Bondi's announcement. The image shows a law enforcement agent, face blurred out, escorting Armstrong, who appears to be handcuffed. Armstrong, dressed in all black, appears to be composed in the picture. A little more than 30 minutes later, the White House posted an image of Armstrong's arrest in which she is crying. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt reposted the image. The image posted by the White House is altered, a Guardian analysis found. Asked whether the image had been digitally altered, the White House responded by sending a post on X from Kaelan Dorr, the deputy communications director. "YET AGAIN to the people who feel the need to reflexively defend perpetrators of heinous crimes in our country I share with you this message: Enforcement of the law will continue. The memes will continue. Thank you for your attention to this matter," he said.

No, the US vaccine schedule doesn't call for babies to get '72 injections'
To defend recent changes to the childhood vaccine schedule, the Trump administration compared shots for American babies with babies in an unspecified “European Country.” The Jan. 5 White House graphic showed two babies, each surrounded by needles, with the text:...

Btw, the cover image for FIRES OF YOUTH (1929 romance by Beulah Poynter) is coming along well. #pulp
The cover (by John V. Ranck) of the sheet music for the 1926 song "Fire! (Turn the Hose On Me)," a "novelty fox trot song" by Byron Gay and Richard A. Whiting. It shows a white man and a white woman passionately holding hands and about to kiss, while flames surround them. The color scheme is black, white, grey, and red. The same image, only cleaned up, with most of the lettering and extraneous stuff gone.
