Check out our latest production! A Disinfo Watch is our answer to the spread of disinformation about refugees and asylum seekers in the media. In a light and funny format we point out the ridiculousness of some fake news regarding refugees. Play the game of Headlines with us and guess which ones are true and which are fake and check if you did better than our co-hosts Doug and Rasheed.
And don’t forget our homework:
What’s the average duration of a Greek trial for smuggling in 2019 alone?
Which of those headlines is true:
A) Crete sees a surge in migrant arrivals in the first days of 2025.
B) For the first time in 5 years, Crete sees decline in migrant arrivals in early 2025.
Fractured, Humanitarian Watch and Disinfo Watch are original productions of ReFOCUS Media Labs
