Recent factchecks and disinformation news from TheJournal

In June, TheJournal published the following factcheck investigations:  

  • Debunked: Video game footage misleadingly re-packaged as footage from the war in Ukraine
  • FactFind: Has the Irish Government done ‘a lot more’ than the UK to reduce the cost of living?
  • Debunked: No, this photo doesn’t show a ‘bloody’ eucharist at a Mayo church
  • Debunked: No, the UN did not warn of ‘500 million refugees on their way from Africa to Europe’
