CLAIM: The Philippine president is the subject of headlines worldwide because of his supposed drug use.
RATING: ALTERED
A former broadcaster posted a manipulated photo of CNN anchor Anderson Cooper, falsely portraying him as reporting that the Philippine president was at the center of global discussion because of supposed drug use.
Ex-newscaster Jay Sonza used an edited image showing the CNN logo and the false headline “Philippines faces unique challenges with cocaine-addicted president.”
The altered image of Cooper was taken from a video dated January 12, 2024, in which CNN reporter Harry Enten was quizzing him about National Football League teams.
This false claim apparently sought to amplify the deep fake video of President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. allegedly using illegal drugs.
