Caught a deep fake of my local mayor in Martinez after 3 seconds of checking the eyes

I was scrolling Facebook last night and saw a video of Mayor Robles announcing a new park project. Something felt off so I paused it and zoomed in on his eyes nobody blinks that slowly and there was no reflection catching the light. I ran it through a simple free tool called Forensically and the color channels were all mismatched. Has anyone else found a quick hack like that to make spotting fakes faster?

Oh man, I once fell for a fake pizza coupon on Nextdoor for like 20 minutes!

Whoa, Forensically actually works better on JPEGs (not videos like you used).

Didnt know JPEGs and videos processed differently, thanks @betty_perry24.
