Media Bias Fact Check selects and publishes fact checks from around the world. We only utilize fact-checkers that 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)
Claim Codes: Red = Fact Check on a Right Claim, Blue = Fact Check on a Left Claim, Black = Not Political/Conspiracy/Pseudoscience/Other
Fact Checker bias rating Codes: Red = Right-Leaning, Green = Least Biased, Blue = Left-Leaning, Black = Unrated by MBFC
| MOSTLY FALSE |
Claim by Nancy Mace (R): “Since Joe Biden took office, crime has skyrocketed across our country.”
PolitiFact rating: Mostly False (Overall violent crime and homicides are down during Joe Biden’s presidency, according to official government measures through 2022 and a private-sector analysis of sampled data through 2023.) No, crime has not ‘skyrocketed’ under Joe Biden, as Rep. Nancy Mace claimed |
| BLATANT LIE |
Claim by Nicole Shanahan (I): “Pharmaceutical medicine has its place, but no single safety study can assess the cumulative impact of one prescription on top of another prescription, and one shot on top of another shot on top of another shot, throughout the course of childhood.”
Washington Post rating: Four Pinocchios Analysis | Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s running mate and the vaccine wars |
| FALSE | Claim by Donald Trump (R): Pointing to a chart on illegal immigration, “See the arrow on the bottom? That was my last week in office. That was the lowest number in history.”
FactCheck.org rating: False (The arrow is pointing to apprehensions in April 2020, when apprehensions plummeted during the height of the pandemic. In his last months in office, apprehensions had more than quadrupled from that pandemic low and were higher than the month he took office.) |
| FALSE | (International: United Kingdom): Many children have suffered terrible health problems after HPV vaccination and others have died.
Full Fact rating: False (No serious side effects were caused by more than 10 million doses of the HPV vaccine in the UK. Severe allergic reactions are possible, but very rare, with most vaccines.) |
