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

FALSE Claim by Steve Milloy: New photosynthesis study shows that Earth is not warming as predicted by climate models

Climate Feedback rating: Inaccurate (Observations of the increases in global temperature match the uncertainty ranges of leading climate models. In some cases, observed warming exceeds predictions.)

Global warming matches model predictions well despite misconstrued claims about new photosynthesis study

TRUE Claim by Ron DeSantis (R): “Florida came in No. 3 for fourth grade reading. California was far, far behind.”

PolitiFact rating: True (Florida ranked third among states for fourth grade reading, after Massachusetts and Wyoming. California ranked 32nd.)

TRUE Claim by Gavin Newsom (D): “Seven of the top 10 murder rates in the United States of America are red states.”

PolitiFact rating: True (In descending order, the top 10 states for homicide rates were Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, Missouri, Arkansas, South Carolina, Tennessee, Illinois, Maryland and Georgia. The first seven on that list all supported Trump in the 2020 election; the final three supported President Joe Biden. The analysis also found that “solidly red states have dominated the top 10 murder rate states for the past decade” or more.)
