The dubious portal "gazetaz.com" has published an article with a title that raises the dilemma that the Speaker of the Parliament of North Macedonia, Talat Xhaferi, and the Kosovar actor, Dibran Tahiri, have family ties.
This claim, made in the headline "Did you know what Dini from "Modern Family" and the President of the Macedonian Parliament are like", was made by this portal with content in the Albanian language based on their apparent similarity.
But the title of the article is not explained in the content. In fact, the content only describes the similarities in terms of physiognomy.
Link to the article published on the dubious portal "gazetaz.com":
Part of the article content:
Did you know what Dini from "Modern Family" and the Speaker of the Macedonian Parliament have in common?
Talat Xhaferi beheaded Dibran Tahiri.
The elected Speaker of the Macedonian Parliament, Talat Xhaferi, bears a strong resemblance to the Kosovar actor, Dibran Tahiri.
The famous Kosovar actor, Dibran Tahiri, is recently identified with the series "Modern Family", while Xhaferi is a former soldier and a well-known politician on the Macedonian political scene.
From the treatment of this article by hibrid.info, it is clear that the author has not used any facts to argue the claim made in the title.
Hibrid.info has researched the biographies of these two figures and found that they have no connection in terms of origin. Xhaferi, according to data published on the website of the Parliament of North Macedonia, was born in the village of Forine, Gostivar municipality (here). While, according to the online encyclopedia "Wikipedia", actor Dibran Tahiri was born in Mitrovica (here).
While, even after a deep research in open digital data, through online search engines, no credible article or publication has been found that proves any connection between these two figures. The only articles that are available from some online media, published years ago, that talk about these two personalities, describe only their physical resemblance, without any claim for any family connection between them. (see publications here and here)
Analyze:
From the treatment and analysis of this article, it turns out that the claim made is false.
So it is not proven that Talat Xhaferi and Dibran Tahiri "are something between each other" as claimed in the title.
For this reason, based on the research methodology, hibrid.info evaluates 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.
