Publisher’s rating: Needs Context

Related reporting on the same ICC case says Duterte’s defense appealed the court’s jurisdiction and sought his release; the appeals chamber rejected the appeal and said the request for release was moot (S4). Separate reporting says ICC judges found him fit to attend pre-trial proceedings (S2).

Publisher’s rating: Misleading

The review says it found no credible evidence that Sting or other energy drinks cause impotence, and notes that the cited study on heavy consumption did not establish causation.
