We found that the front page<\/a> of the NYT on that day did not have the viral image. There are several differences between the two pages as can be seen in the comparison below. Readers can also see that in the viral image, the words “SATIRE EDITION” are written above the masthead. Next to the graphic, the text is written in an odd font that differs from the font used by the NYT. Also, one can see on the page that it says ‘Report By – @EducatedBilla’, no such byline can be seen on the original paper.<\/p>\n We searched for the handle @EducatedBilla on X and found a user with this username. This user had shared<\/a> the viral image on March 15. In the comment section @EducatedBilla says that he created the image<\/a>. Replying<\/a> to another comment, the user clarified that he had made this image and that it was only a piece of satire.<\/p>\n It’s a Satire made by me only\ud83d\ude05 pic.twitter.com\/Q4xgWazqxy<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Schrodinger Ka Billa (@EducatedBilla) March 17, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Further, on running a reverse image search we found the graphic<\/a> on the website krita-artists.org<\/a> where artists can share their digital artwork.
