"Video released: Here's how a beggar is kicked out of the bar where Peci is drinking coffee"is the title of an article published by the Albanian language portal"kosova-sot.info” on Friday (September 27).
This media outlet has also shared the video on its website. Facebook.
What's wrong with the publication?
The video published by “kosova-sot.info” is presented as current. But in fact, it is old. It was published on December 25, 2022 (“signal.com""). The video shows how a waiter had pushed away a girl who was begging near the table where the Minister of Agriculture, Faton Peci, was standing. The incident had provoked reactions and the minister himself had made a statement about the case (see Post of December 25, 2022).
The content of the article by "kosova-sot.info", published on September 27:
"A video published on social networks reflects the moment when a beggar was kicked out of the bar where the Minister of Agriculture Faton Peci was drinking coffee, the newspaper "Kosova Sot Online" reports. While the Minister of Agriculture was drinking coffee in a bar, a minor beggar was offered a cup of coffee at his table, who was suddenly "violently kidnapped" by the waiter, who grabbed her with both hands and ran and kicked her out of the bar. Meanwhile, Peci enjoys a "macchiato""
Although the article does not explicitly state that the event is current, the title used implies this. The title states that "Video Published: Here's How a Begging Man expelled from the bar where Peci is drinking coffee" (present tense, indicative mood) and not "was kicked out" (simple past, indicative mood -the explanation).
Likewise in the case of the particle "po" before the verb "pi". Hibrid.info has searched in two online dictionaries "dictionary.com”And“dictionary.science.org". According to two explanations, the particle "po" can be used before verbs to indicate actions that last. In the case in question, to indicate an event that has ended, the combination "po pinte" coffee should be used. Moreover, the verb "pi" in no case takes the option "pine" as "kosova-sot.info" wrote (see the choice of the verb "pi")
That the title of the video "VIDEO????Watch as a beggar is 'violently' evicted from the bar where Minister Peci is drinking a "macchiato""has left room to be understood as a current event, which can also be seen in the comments the medium received on the Facebook post.
Analyze:
The Albanian-language portal "kosova-sot.info" has presented as current the video in which it is seen how a waiter had removed a girl who was asking for alms near the table where the Minister of Agriculture, Faton Peci, was.
But the video is old. It was published in December 2022, and the minister himself had already reacted to it.
Based on its work methodology, hibrid.info assesses the publication as "disinformation".
Reasoning:
"Disinformation" is defined as information content that contains a "mix" of inaccurate sources or even half-truthful attributes, and that is created and/or distributed with the deliberate intention of causing harm. The motive behind the producers/distributors of disinformation content lies in achieving a political, financial, psychological or social goal.
