The online medium with content in the Albanian language "kosovapost.net", on May 13, published an article claiming that, during his visit to the US, Prime Minister Albin Kurti will also meet with Vice President Kamala Harris.
This claim was based on, as the article states, sources within the White House in Washington.
However, after ten days, at the time when Prime Minister Kurti had completed his long 16-day visit to the US, it turns out that the source of this media outlet was unconfirmed and, as a result, turns out to be untrue.
"kosovapost.net" article published on May 13:
Prime Minister Albin Kurti, at the end of his tour of visits to the US, had also met with several senior state officials, but not with Vice President Joe Biden.
In the post made on his Facebook profile, Kurti had made a summary of the meetings in the US, mentioning a list of various personalities from business, public and political life, part of which was not Vice President Harris.
Kurti made this post while he was traveling from the US to Switzerland to participate in the Davos forum (here).
Analyze:
The claim made by "kosovapost.net" turns out to be incorrect.
The fact check conducted by hibrid.info provides a result that proves that the source on which this article was based was unconfirmed.
This article, based on the methodology of hibrid.info, is rated as "unverified content" and "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.
The “Unverified” rating is given to those media reports that do not provide sufficient information to confirm the claims made in the report, and which have not been able to confirm the same due to the lack or non-possession of reliable sources.
