දිලිත් – අනුර – දුමින්ද අතර හමුවක් ලෙස පැතිරෙන ඡායාරූපයේ ඇත්ත කතාව!

Publisher’s rating: Misleading

The review found that the circulating photo was edited: it showed Dilith Jayawera and Duminda Dissanayake at an NSBM event, but another person’s head had been replaced with Anura Kumara Dissanayake’s. The JVP media unit and an event photographer said Anura had not attended.

LGBTQ+-leiders ondertekenen WEF-verdrag om pedofielen te accepteren als ‘wettelijk beschermde minderheid’.

Publisher’s rating: Zo'n verdrag bestaat helemaal niet. Het foute gerucht wordt verspreid door een website die bekend staat voor het verzinnen van misinformatie.

The review says a WEF spokesperson confirmed that no such treaty or similar declaration exists, and that a search of the WEF website found nothing. It also reports that the purported WEF post cited as evidence could not be found on X and that its screenshot used a font unlike X’s actual font.

Das ist ein echtes Video von Nadja Bernhard und Herbert Kickl.

Publisher’s rating: Es handelt sich um Fake-Videos, die den Sprechern mit einem technischen Kniff falsche Worte in den Mund legen.

The video is fake: Nadja Bernhard’s mouth movements and speaking style do not match, while footage of Kickl was traced to a different FPÖ TV video, with the same background and sequence of gestures. The review says these signs indicate manipulated videos that put false words in the speakers’ mouths.
