Der Polizeipräsident von Wuppertal empfiehlt nach dem islamistischen Messerangriff von Solingen, besser zu Hause bleiben.

Publisher’s rating: Durch die unvollständig widergegebene Aussage des Polizisten fehlt entscheidender Kontext: In der Pressekonferenz betont er nämlich, dass die Polizei keinem empfehlen könne, sich zu Hause zu verschanzen.

A cropped statement by Wuppertal Police President Markus Röhrl was shared as a recommendation to stay home, but the omitted context changes its meaning. He said the police could not recommend that anyone lock themselves inside at home; he argued that busier streets and cities were safer. [S1]

رئيس مجلس القيادة الرئاسي، رشاد العليمي يتعرض لمحاولة اغتيال في طريقه إلى تعز

Publisher’s rating: مضلل

The review reports that a military vehicle in al-Alimi’s convoy overturned on the road between Lahj and Taiz on August 27, 2024, but local and military sources said the cause was the deteriorated road, not an attack. It says al-Alimi was not aboard the vehicle, two soldiers were injured, and footage showed him arriving in Taiz. [S1: “وقال المصدران لـ”المشاهد”، إنّ العليمي لم يكن على متن المدرعة التي انقلبت نتيجة تهالك الطريق، وأسفر عن الحادث إصابة جنديين اثنين.”; “ونشرت قناة اليمن الفضائية (التلفزيون الرسمي) ووكالة الأنباء الرسيمة (سبأ) فيديوهات وصور تظهر وصول العليمي إلى مدينة تعز”]

Les démocrates ont teint la rivière Chicago en rouge pour célébrer l'avortement.

Publisher’s rating: Non, les démocrates n'ont pas coloré la rivière Chicago pour célébrer l'avortement. La photo du cours d'eau teint en rouge provient d'un article parodique.

The review says Democrats did not dye the Chicago River red to celebrate abortion. It traces the shared photo to a satirical article, which used an image from Chicago’s St. Patrick’s Day river-dyeing celebration with the green color changed to red.
