එක්සත් ජාතීන්ගේ මහා මණ්ඩල සැසිවාරයේදී අමාත්‍ය විජිත හේරත් සඳහන් කළ ප්‍රකාශ ලෙස “News 1st” පුවත් කාඩ්පත් සමාජ මාධ්‍ය ඔස්සේ සංසරණය විය.

Publisher’s rating: False

The review says the cards falsely attributed statements to Vijitha Herath at the UN General Assembly. It reports that his official speech contained none of those statements and that News 1st had not published cards containing them.

ලෝක බැංකු වාර්තාවකට අනුව ඉතිහාසයේ ප්‍රථම වරට ශ්‍රී ලංකාවේ දරිද්‍රතාවය 65% ක් බවට පත්ව ඇත.

Publisher’s rating: Misleading

The review says the 65.4% figure was a World Bank forecast for 2026 using the $8.30-a-day poverty line, not a general estimate that Sri Lanka’s poverty rate had reached 65%. The October 2026 update revised that forecast to 59.1%; the review also notes that this line is a different benchmark from the $4.20-a-day poverty measure.
