Fact Crescendo

मुंबई मधील धारावी क्षेत्रात हिंदु समाज हा अत्यंत संकटात आहे. कायद्याचे रक्षक म्हटले जाणाऱ्या पोलिसांसमोरच बजरंग दल कार्यकर्ता अरविंद वैश्य यांची जिहादी लांड्याने निर्घृणपणे हत्या केली.

Publisher’s rating: Misleading

Fact Crescendo says the viral video does not show the murder of Arvind Vaishya in Dharavi; it shows the killing of YSRCP youth leader Sheikh Rasheed in Andhra Pradesh. The review reports that police described Rasheed’s killing as stemming from a personal dispute, not a political or religious cause.

Bundespräsident Van der Bellen hat ein Interview in der ZIB2 gegeben, in dem er nach einem Anfangsinvestment von 250 Euro mehr als 20.000 Euro pro Monat verspricht.

Publisher’s rating: Das Interview ist nicht echt. Die Aussagen wurden synthetisch generiert, das bestätigte auch die Präsidentschaftskanzlei auf dpa-Anfrage.

The video is not an authentic interview: the review says its statements were synthetically generated, a finding confirmed by the Presidential Chancellery. Van der Bellen has appeared on ZIB2, but the review says he has never promoted a financial platform.

Ракета, которая попала в «Охматдет» во время обстрела Киева, не похожа на российскую

Folha de S.Paulo

Foto de Jair Bolsonaro ao lado de mulher negra que veste camiseta com a estampa “Bolsonaro Presidente”. A legenda da publicação afirma “Bia Souza é MINION. Triste demais!”, dando a entender que é a atleta quem aparece próxima ao ex-presidente.

Publisher’s rating: Enganoso

The woman pictured with Jair Bolsonaro was Vanessa Silva, not Olympic judoka Beatriz Souza. The photo was originally posted by Vanessa on October 14, 2022, and showed them together at a campaign event in Duque de Caxias. [S1]

dpaScience & space

Deze foto is een bewijs voor het bestaan van chemtrails.

Publisher’s rating: De foto is gefotoshopt. Op de echte tankwagen staat niet "chemtrailzusatz". Chemtrails bestaan nog steeds niet.

The review says the photo was altered: the original image of an Air BP tanker does not show the alleged “chemtrailzusatz” text. It also reports that the image was taken at Vienna-Schwechat airport, not Frankfurt.
