Analyze:
Doubtful portals have published an old article from 2018, regarding a person from Russia who had deceived patients by posing as a gynecologist.
However, these portals have tried to present this article as current by giving it a false title stating that the person in question is a gynecologist from Pristina.
Based on its working methodology, hibrid.info assesses this article as "fake news".
Reasoning:
The "Fake News" rating is given to media reports that are entirely the product of a medium that itself contains factually incorrect claims or information.
Content that is considered fake news can be reliably determined to have been created and distributed with the intent to misinform the public, i.e., to present a claim that is completely false as fact.
