A quoi carbure Kamala Harris pour être dans cet état ?
Publisher’s rating: La vidéo a été ralentie afin de donner l'impression que Kamala Harris parle plus lentement que d'habitude. Dans la vidéo originale, elle a un débit de parole classique.
The review found that the video was slowed to make Harris appear to speak unusually slowly. The original footage showed a normal speaking pace, and the review found no evidence in it that she was under the influence of substances.
Deze video toont een dronken Kamala Harris.
Publisher’s rating: De video werd vertraagd: de bewerkte video op Facebook is 25 procent langer dan de originele versie waardoor de indruk wordt gewekt dat Harris dronken zou zijn.
The review finds that the Facebook clip was slowed: its 30-second segment corresponds to a 24-second segment in the original interview. The altered speed makes Harris appear drunk, while the clip also selects a moment when she was speaking in a higher voice than usual.

Postagem utiliza trecho de um programa jornalístico para afirmar que Lula “disse na ONU que se o Brasil for invadido, ele entrega a nação”. A publicação acrescenta que “é o absurdo do absurdo”.
Publisher’s rating: Enganoso
The review says the post used an ironic remark by CNN political analyst Lourival Sant’anna, who was commenting on Lula’s remarks about Ukraine, rather than a statement by Lula that he would surrender Brazilian territory. It reports that there is no record of Lula saying he would surrender Brazilian territory if Brazil were invaded. [S1]
Lula teria dito na ONU que entregaria o Brasil no caso de uma invasão
Publisher’s rating: Enganoso
The review says a video clip was taken out of context: the claim came from political analyst Lourival Sant’anna’s sarcastic remark, not from Lula. Lula’s quoted remarks concerned Ukraine and diplomacy, and the review says there is no record of him saying he would surrender Brazilian territory in an invasion.
Seit heute gibt es ein neues NATO-Hauptquartier in Rostock. Das ist ein Bruch des Zwei-Plus-Vier-Vertrages.
Publisher’s rating: In Rostock gibt es ein neues Hauptquartier der deutschen Marine. Dort arbeiten auch Offiziere aus anderen Nato-Ländern. Dies verstößt nicht gegen den Zwei-plus-Vier-Vertrag, weil dies keine Truppenstationierung ist.
