Panorama: The Croatian team of the World Cup donates? The media fall for a false letter



[ad_1]

On Thursday, various media – including the HuffPost – announced good news regarding the broadcast of the Croatian World Cup team: The Croatians therefore wanted to donate all of their World Cup bonuses to The Croatian Foundation for Children [19659002] The message reached tens of thousands of people in social media.

The problem with this: It's a hoax. This revealed the
"Frankfurter Rundschau". The "Mimikama" site specializing in the broadcast of Fake News has also published an article on the hoax.

The result is a hoax:

The hoax is based on an alleged letter from the Croatian coach Zlatko Dalić, which was later picked up by the Croatian web portal "Dalicom.eu".

However, the letter comes from the Croatian Igor Premuzic and was published on Facebook on July 13, two days before the World Cup final. It's a satirical text.

It is not only that the team gives all its income, but also politically provocative demands for the boycott of photos with some politicians, such as "Mimikama" translated from Croatian.

What says the author of the false letter:

Premuzic had crushed the letter with "Parallel Universe". A clear indication of his intention. A day later, on Facebook, he said: "The text of a" Parallel Universe "showed that a large majority of people have not even read this text."

Many believed that the message of the generous Croatians – including the HuffPost – was so good that there was no proper examination of the sources. Maybe the heroes of the Croatian World Cup feel inspired by the hoax for a good action.
