Media Bias Fact Check selects and publishes fact checks from around the world. We only utilize fact-checkers who are either a signatory of the International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN) or have been verified as credible by MBFC. Further, we review each fact check for accuracy before publishing. We fact-check the fact-checkers and let you know their bias. When appropriate, we explain the rating and/or offer our own rating if we disagree with the fact-checker. (D. Van Zandt)

| FALSE | Claim by Donald Trump (R): “With the historic Abraham Accords, I even made peace in the Middle East.”
Politifact rating: False (The accords, signed during the Trump administration, normalized diplomatic relations among the countries, but the countries were not engaged in military conflict. Experts said the accords did not yield broad peace in the Middle East.) Trump claims he made peace in the Middle East with Abraham Accords. That’s False |
| MOSTLY FALSE |
Claim by Gavin Newsom (D): “When (Ron DeSantis) was in Congress, he supported amnesty.“
Politifact rating: Mostly False (While in Congress, Ron DeSantis voted for a bill that would have provided legal status to people who came to the U.S. illegally as children. DeSantis opposed bills that included a path to citizenship to a broader set of people who came to the U.S. illegally.) Gavin Newsom’s Mostly False claim about Ron DeSantis’ support of amnesty for immigrants |
| FALSE | Claim via Social Media: claims a pro-Hamas mob purportedly smashed the window of a New York kosher restaurant.
Check Your Fact rating: False (A spokesperson for the Deputy Commissioner of Public Information at the New York Police Department (NYPD) told Check Your Fact the suspect is unknown and an investigation is underway.) |
| BLATANT LIE |
Claim via Social Media: Colin Kaepernick Was Fired From His New Job As A High School Coach After Only Six Games.
Lead Stories rating: False (Made-Up satire) |
| MOSTLY TRUE |
Claim by Jodi Emerson (D): “On most campuses, you cannot destroy a chalked message unless you were the one that wrote it. You can’t dump water on it, you can’t even walk over it.”
Politifact rating: Mostly True (Policies from three University of Wisconsin system schools say that destroying or tampering with another organization’s chalk message is prohibited. But the campuses, such as the University of Wisconsin-Madison, don’t enforce the policies in practice or recall past incidents.) Is erasing others’ chalk messages forbidden on University of Wisconsin campuses? |
| FALSE | (International: Australia): The European Union (EU) has declared the COVID-19 vaccines were approved illegally.
Australian Associated Press rating: False (A small number of European Parliament MPs have complained, but the EU continues to support the approval process.) No, EU hasn’t declared COVID vaccines were illegally approved |
