Boulos seria líder do MST e provocou incêndios e florestas

Publisher’s rating: Enganoso

The review says the video misleads by presenting Boulos as an MST leader responsible for invasions, farm burnings and cattle deaths. It reports that Boulos led the urban MTST, not the MST, and that none of the five criminal cases in which he was a defendant resulted in a conviction.

Ein Mann mit nicht-weißer Hautfarbe ging im bayerischen Großostheim mit einer Machete in einen Supermarkt.

Publisher’s rating: Die Polizei dementiert und warnt vor Fake News. Der Behörde zufolge hat lediglich ein alkoholisierter Mann Passanten angepöbelt, ohne dass Straftaten begangen wurden. Er trug keine Waffe bei sich.

The review says the incident in Großostheim took place on the evening of September 28, 2024. Police reported that a heavily intoxicated 41-year-old had heckled passersby near a supermarket, and officers found no weapon on him.

1970年代のファンタオレンジ、添加物はたった3つ?

Publisher’s rating: 根拠不明

The image lists sugar, flavoring, acidulant and beta-carotene, but the review says flavoring and acidulant can be collective labels for multiple additives. It also notes that, before the 1989 rule change requiring all additives to be listed, the number of items shown did not establish that only three additives were used.

বাংলাদেশৰ মহিলা উপাধ্যক্ষৰ লগত দুৰ্ব্যৱহাৰৰ ভিডিঅ’ বিভ্ৰান্তিকৰ দাবীৰে ভাইৰেল।

Publisher’s rating: False

The review identifies the woman in the video as Sabina Yasmin, a dismissed vice-principal of Kushtia Islamia College, and says the incident occurred when she went to rejoin her duties. It concludes that the video’s accompanying claim was misleading: the reported dispute concerned her attempt to return to work, not her being Hindu.

A 'ficha corrida' de Macaé Evaristo

Publisher’s rating: CONTEXTUALIZANDO

The review reports that a search found 83 cases mentioning Evaristo, but only two were criminal cases, and she was the plaintiff in both—not a defendant. It also says that one improbity case remained ongoing and that 13 other cases related to the school-purchase matter had been ended through an agreement.
