[ad_1]
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)
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 Donald Trump (R): “Every nine years you have to replace the [wind] turbines. You know, they’re made out of steel and they wear out.”
FactCheck.org rating: Mostly False (Turbines typically last 20 to 30 years, although some parts have to be replaced before then.) |
| FALSE | Claim via Social Media: Former President Donald Trump said “I don’t even talk to JD Vance.”
Check Your Fact rating: False (Trump said that he did not discuss the topic at hand with his running mate, not that he doesn’t speak to him at all.) FACT CHECK: Did Donald Trump Say He Doesn’t Speak To JD Vance? |
| BLATANT LIE |
Claim via Social Media: Police audio confirmed reports of Haitians hunting geese in Springfield, Ohio, in 2024.
Snopes.com rating: False (A call to the Clark County Sheriff’s Department regarding four alleged Haitians carrying dead geese would not be confirmation of “Haitian goose-hunting,” even if verified. Regardless, authorities could not verify the complaint’s claims.) No, ‘Police Audio’ Doesn’t Confirm Reports of ‘Haitian Goose-Hunting’ in Springfield, Ohio |
| FALSE | Claim via Social Media: Photos that show lists of school names are “school shooting lists.”
PolitiFact rating: False (The lists included in social media posts show schools that receive federal Title I funding for academic programs.) Viral photo shows schools receiving federal money for academic programs, not ‘school shooting list’ |
| BLATANT LIE |
Claim via Social Media: Leaked Reports Claim George Soros Paid ABC Moderators $1 Million Each to Fact-Check Trump.
Lead Stories rating: False (Satire Origin and shared by the gullible) |
| FALSE | (International: New Zealand): Claim by Winston Peters: Humans are responsible for just three percent of the carbon dioxide in the earth’s atmosphere.
Australian Associated Press rating: False (Humans are responsible for a third of the carbon dioxide in the earth’s atmosphere.) |
