The New York Post has deleted a story that falsely reported the death of former President Jimmy Carter. The erroneous report was based on a viral letter that included outlandish claims and derogatory remarks about various public figures, including Rosalynn Carter. The letter, which was identified as a deep fake, led to widespread misinformation on social media. Numerous users and commentators have since debunked the letter, emphasizing the need for careful verification of information before dissemination. The letter also falsely attributed foreign policy accomplishments such as the Camp David Accords to President Carter.
