Kumekuwapo na madai mengi kuhusu radi ambayo mengine si ya kweli, yafuatayo ni madai 10 pamoja na uhalisia wake.
Dhana Potofu 1: Radi haipigi sehemu ileile mara mbili.
Uhalisia: Radi inaweza kupiga sehemu ileile mara nyingi, hasa ikiwa ni eneo lenye kitu kirefu, chenye ncha kali na kilichojitenga. Kwa mfano, jengo la Empire State Building hupigwa na radi takribani mara 25 kwa mwaka, na wakati mwingine zaidi ya mara 10 ndani ya dhoruba moja.
Dhana Potofu 2: Radi hupiga vitu virefu pekee.
Uhalisia: Radi inaweza kupiga popote. Inaweza kupiga ardhi, gari, maegesho ya magari au sehemu nyingine, si lazima kitu kiwe kirefu zaidi.
Dhana Potofu 3: Ukiwa nje wakati wa radi, ni salama kujikinga chini ya mti.
Uhalia: Hii ni mojawapo ya sehemu...

Former Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta did not make this statement, and the graphic is a fabricated digital card.
Katika siku za hivi karibuni, kumekuwa na machapisho mbalimbali yanayosambaa kwenye mitandao ya kijamii kuhusu viongozi wa Chama cha Demokrasia na Maendeleo (CHADEMA). Mojawapo ya machapisho hayo yanadai kuwa mjumbe wa Kamati Kuu ya chama hicho, Godbless Lema, amesema kuwa kwa sasa anaonekana kama msaliti ndani ya chama.
Chapisho hilo, lililosambazwa kupitia Facebook, limenukuu kauli inayosema:"Asante Lema, usikubali kuchafuka kizembe wakati ukweli wa jambo unao wewe mwenyewe! Sema ukweli wote wa ufisadi wa Makamu Mwenyekiti Heche bila kuogopa, umma uko pamoja na wewe."
je, ni upi uhalisia wa chapisho hilo ambalo limeonekana kusambazwa kwenye mitandao ya kijamii huku klikiwa na graphic ya chombo cha habari cha Jambo Tv ?

A manipulated image purporting to show the front page of the June 16, 2026 edition of New Vision has been circulating on Whatsapp.
The altered version replaces one of the newspaper's top headlines with the words "Lukwago Playing Hide and Seek, What We Know So Far." The rest of the front page closely resembles the genuine edition, making it appear authentic at first glance.
In response, New Vision issued a public statement on its official X account warning readers that the image is counterfeit.
The newspaper clarified that the genuine front page carried the headline "Lukwago Arrested: What We Know So Far" and not "Lukwago Playing Hide and Seek."
In its statement, New Vision said:

Nimekutana na huu ujumbe Facebook je, kinachozungumzwa ni cha kweli?
Kucheka si tu ishara ya furaha — ni tiba ya mwili na akili pia! Tafiti mbalimbali zinaonesha kuwa kucheka husaidia kupunguza msongo wa mawazo (stress), huimarisha kinga ya mwili, na hata kuboresha afya ya moyo.
Wanasayansi wanasema kwamba dakika chache tu za kucheka kwa dhati huongeza utoaji wa endorphins — kemikali za furaha mwilini — na pia hupunguza maumivu ya mwili.
