“Culture wars” or ideological conflicts between the left and the right-wing became a dominant topic in US political discourse. Both sides are trying to present their truth and viewpoint as the only right option, while “they, the others” are the strike of evil wanting to destroy humankind. These imported culture wars, with all of their intolerance for the opponent...

Considering the information received by the Securities and Exchange Commission as the regulator of the securities market in the country, especially due to the fact that those promoting the investment are not licensed brokers/investment advisers, including the fact that the promotion of the offer does not reveal an authorized legal person (brokerage house, authorized bank or an entity managing...

Disinformation and fake news are not just a media problem, but a security problem. They destabilize the countries of Western Balkans, including North Macedonia, undermining the trust in democratic institutions and hindering the realization of their most important strategic objectives. This is the general conclusion of the new analysis titled ”Geopolitical Perspective of Disinformation Flows in the Western Balkans,” published...

Photo: pixabay.com Drawing a parallel between Zelenskyy and Hitler is a classical manipulation in the spirit of Russian propaganda. All this is done to justify the Russian aggression of sovereign Ukraine which is ongoing for more than a year. Zelensky is Jewish – his grandfather and his three brothers were fighting against the Nazis. As a reminder, Ukraine banned the...

Photo: Screenshot from the video The video presented – as foreign fact-checkers found out – is not new, and was recorded before the Russian invasion of Ukraine. At the moment, the building looks different from what we see in the video material, and the traffic lights on the street were changed and are now yellow, writes Truthmeter.mk.

Photo: Farmer protests in the Netherlands. © Frank Magdelyns, 22nd June 2022 Dutch farmers organized massive protests last year, but not this year. Fact-checkers from the Netherlands told Truthmeter that protests were organized in 2023, but none could be compared to the huge protests and unrest in 2022. Dutch farmers do not protest because the Government wants to dislocate them...

Photo: Ministry of Defense of North Macedonia Responding to the government’s decision to send 31 members of ARM to Kosovo for a period of six months, Levica is spinning that KFOR is a suppressive force that frequently uses excessive force against the Serbs and that with this decision of the government, the country becomes a party in such repression.

A map of Great Albania does not appear in the film at all, neither is there a map without North Macedonia – as suggested by the post as the reason for banning the movie in North Macedonia.

This post shares two pieces of disinformation at the same time. The first one is that the coronavirus is a hoax, and the second one is that someone is waging war on Russia. The coronavirus, however, is not a fabrication, and it is Russia that started the war in an independent and sovereign country, writes Truthmeter.mk. Under the content-sharing agreement...

Photo: Kremlin.ru The post carries a false statement by Peskov disinforming that some kind of unification will happen between Russia and Belarus. Our check showed that neither Peskov made a statement claiming that Putin’s address from 26th June will determine the fate of Russia, nor did Putin announce any kind of unification with Belarus in his address. In his speech...

Not only Facebook doesn’t say that “Hitler was a good man, a democrat fighting for rights”, as the post claims, but it also sanctions such narratives and fabrications. Regarding the malicious statement that ”it is not by accident” that ”Zelenskyy was tuned to perform at his best”, Facebook has nothing to do with creating or sharing content by users...

Contrary to the statement in the post we are fact-checking, Zelenskyy did not say that elections in Ukraine will not take place until some kind of a great reset of the world takes place. It is also not true that he admitted in a statement for BBC that his five-year term, which should end in 2024, will continue indefinitely,...

The post claiming that Ukraine is at war with Russia because of the whim of London and that Orban is Ukraine’s greatest friend because only he insisted on negotiations between Kyiv and Moscow for stopping the war is untrue and manipulative on several grounds, writes Truthmeter.mk.

Photo: Screenshot from the video The post we are fact-checking has just one sentence that is out of context. That leads to misinterpreting the press-conference of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on the occasion of the first anniversary of the Russian military invasion of Ukraine. From the overall answer of Zelenskyy of the question posed by the ABC News reporter –...
