از دستگیری و آزادی روزنامه‌نگار منتشر کننده ویدیو عملیات وعده صادق ۲ در اسرائیل چه می‌دانیم؟

Publisher’s rating: روز ۸ اکتبر (۱۶ مهر ۱۴۰۳)، ارتش اسرائیل، روزنامه‌نگار آمریکایی جرمی لوفردو (Jeremy Loffredo) را به همراه سه روزنامه‌نگار دیگر بازداشت کرد. این موضوع در رسانه‌های ایرانی بازتاب زیادی داشت و بخش‌هایی از این پرونده بدون ذکر جزئیات و ناقض روایت شده‌بود که گمراه‌کننده بودند.

Deze video toont orkaan Milton.

Publisher’s rating: Slechts gedeeltelijk, want niet alle drie de clips geven storm Milton weer. De eerste clip toont een storm in Saudi-Arabië begin september 2024. De overige twee clips tonen wel de gevolgen van Milton in Florida.

First CheckHealth & medicine

Coconut oil added regularly to a balanced diet lowers cholesterol to normal.

Publisher’s rating: Use of coconut oil in cooking, raises the ‘bad’ cholesterol levels among individuals.

Research from related reporting says that consuming high amounts of saturated fat frequently is linked to elevated LDL cholesterol and lists coconut oil among saturated-fat sources. This does not support the claim that regularly adding coconut oil lowers cholesterol to normal.

Deze video toont mensen die vluchten voor orkaan Milton.

Publisher’s rating: De video van een overstroomde snelweg is genomen in de Indiase stad Mumbai eind september tijdens overstromingen.

The video does not show people fleeing Hurricane Milton in Florida; the review identifies it as footage of a flooded highway in Mumbai. It says the footage was shared online in late September, before Milton made landfall in the United States.

Une vidéo montre une salle de bain de P. Diddy et les bouteilles de lubrifiant.

Publisher’s rating: Il ne s’agit pas d’une vidéo réelle mais d’une séquence créée par une intelligence artificielle.

The review says the viral clip purporting to show P. Diddy’s bathroom and bottles linked to the search is AI-generated, not real footage. It points to implausible bathroom layout and mirror reflections, as well as the clip’s short duration and distorted police officers, as signs of synthetic imagery.

PA MediaPolitics & government

A post shared widely on TikTok on October 1, 2024, contains an audio clip of Sir Keir Starmer saying: “If you don’t like the changes that we’ve made, I say the door is open and you can leave.” This is also written in large text at the top of the video and in the description of the post.

Publisher’s rating: The clip is a genuine one of Sir Keir speaking, although it has been edited and re-ordered. But it has been presented out of context, as it was originally delivered in February 2023, with Sir Keir inviting those who disagreed with his changes to the Labour Party to end their membership. This was more than a year before Sir Keir became Prime Minister.

Projeto ComprovaElections & voting

Teria havido fraude nas eleições presidenciais de 2022

Publisher’s rating: Enganoso

The review found that the screenshot used to allege fraud showed Paraná’s presidential vote count, not the national tally. When the broadcast returned to the national results, with 82.55% of ballots counted, Lula had 46.53% and Bolsonaro 44.81%.
