The information portal "Kosova-sot.info" yesterday (March 28) published an article titled "Two women stabbed to death in the capital."
After fact-checking conducted by hibrid.info, it has been confirmed that the title is a generalization, which does not make it clear which country's capital is being referred to.
The news is clarified only in the content, which states that "Two women lost their lives as a result of a knife attack at a religious center for Muslims in the Portuguese capital of Lisbon."
Knowing that this portal is registered in Kosovo (see here) and most of its readers are Albanian speakers (see here), this may misinform readers that this event took place in the capital of Kosovo, Pristina.
Excerpt from the article published on the portal "Kosova-sot.info":
Two women have died in a stabbing attack at a Muslim religious center in the Portuguese capital of Lisbon.
Police say the incident occurred at the "Ismaili" center on Lusiada Street, when the armed man entered and attacked those present. The officers intervened immediately after receiving the report and managed to neutralize him only after shooting him in the leg, the newspaper "Kosova Sot Online" reports.
Link to the article published on the portal "Kosova-sot.info":
To further confirm the fact that the event took place in the Portuguese capital, Lisbon, hibrid.info has found the article published in several foreign media outlets such as "AlJazeera.com”And“France24.com".
Analyze:
The portal "Kosova-sot.info" has published an article regarding the murder of two women in a religious center for Muslims in the capital of Portugal, Lisbon, while the title does not clarify which capital of which country it is referring to.
This suggests that the news is about the capital of Kosovo, Pristina, knowing that this medium is registered in our country and the majority of the audience are Albanian speakers from Kosovo.
After fact-checking based on the work methodology, hibrid.info assesses this article as "clickbait".
Reasoning:
The “Clickbait” rating is given to texts whose titles have no basis in the content of the following text. Such texts and articles aim to attract the attention of the reader or even the consumer with a sensational title by promising content that does not actually exist and are created mainly out of financial interest, that is, due to increased readability. So, this type of text is intended only to click, which can be converted into a profit for the content producer.
