Does this image show Bad Bunny burning American flag? Not so fast

An image claiming to show singer Bad Bunny wearing a dress while holding a burning American flag onstage spread widely online.

The rumor spread amid backlash over the NFL's decision to tap the Puerto Rican artist for the Super Bowl halftime show, including calls to boycott the performance from prominent conservative figures such as President Donald Trump. Reporting fellow Aleksandra Wrona investigated where the image really came from.

Octavia Butler used 'make America great again' in book years before Trump. That's not the full story

For years, a claim has spread online that science fiction writer Octavia Butler published a book in 1998 called "Parable of the Talents" about a future Christian fascist president who won an election using the phrase "make America great again" — a slogan that would later become synonymous with Trump's "MAGA" movement.

While the claim is true, Butler didn’t create "make America great again." Reporter Emery Winter checked out the claim, including who inspired the writer to use the phrase.
