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)

| MOSTLY TRUE |
Claim by Brad Holyman-Sigal (D): “Nearly a quarter million birds in New York City, and more than one billion across the country, die each year from collisions with buildings.”
PolitiFact rating: Mostly True (Estimating the number of bird deaths is difficult, and even the best academic attempts have described broad ranges. However, published data supports both Holyman-Sigal’s number for New York City and his number for the U.S. as a whole.) How many birds die in building strikes in New York City and the U.S.? |
| BLATANT LIE |
Claim via Social Media: Elon Musk Calls for Boycott of Tyson Foods.
Lead Stories rating: False (Satire Origin) Fact Check: Elon Musk Did NOT Call For Tyson Foods Boycott As Of March 23, 2024 |
| FALSE | Claim by Daily Sceptic: Ice cores from Greenland show no significant warming, casting doubt on the climate change theory
Climate Feedback rating: Inaccurate (The claim that there is no global warming signal from Greenland is in direct contradiction with available observations. Recent studies of ice cores from several locations in Greenland have shown that temperatures are warming faster than the natural variation of the last 1000 years.) |
| BLATANT LIE |
Claim via Social Media: Trump is selling ‘holy oil’ to pay legal debts.
USA Today rating: False (No, but he is selling Bibles) No evidence of Trump selling ‘holy oil’ to fund legal bills | Fact check |
| BLATANT LIE |
Claim by Barbara O’Neill: “Scar tissue, bone spurs, tumors, [castor oil is] excellent for breaking that up”
Health Feedback rating: Unsupported (Castor oil is medically recognized only as a laxative for short-term relief of constipation. There is no evidence showing that castor oil is an effective cancer treatment.) |
| FALSE | (International: Philippines): The Philippines is set to receive 12 large warships from South Korea this year.
Rappler rating: False FACT CHECK: No warships to be sent from South Korea to PH this year |
