The claim: Image shows CNN headline about a moth hurt in an ATF raidFrom fabricated screenshots of website articles to bogus photos of TV news segments, phony headlines are a common way misinformation is spread online. An Aug. 24 Facebook post shows a purported CNN headline about a Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives house search that left a moth dead. But the image does not show a real headline, a spokesperson for CNN said, and Reuters never produced the story, according to the news organization. The image of the moth can be found at breedingbutterflies.com, a website that publishes information about moths and butterflies. Reuters also published a fact check noting the organization had no role in a story on this topic.
