TV Camp host says U.S. government 'confirmed' pigeons are robots, cites riots outside White House
Summary
On TV Camp News, host Sofia said the U.S. government had confirmed an online theory that pigeons are robots and that riots were blocking White House entrances; the broadcast did not provide outside corroboration.
Sofia, host of TV Camp News, said on the broadcast that “the rising theory of pigeons being robots has been confirmed by the US government.” She said the claim prompted people to riot outside the White House, blocking “all exits and entrances,” and that “government officials come out about this on Twitter confirming that pigeons that pigeons are robots, and they have been recalled.”
The account was delivered as part of a camp-produced newscast and was not accompanied by independent verification, named government spokespeople, or links to official statements. The program presented the item as breaking news but did not indicate any law-enforcement, White House, or federal source that could be checked for confirmation.
Following the segment the program moved to a sponsored item; no follow-up reporting or citation was provided on-air.
