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)

|
| BLATANT LIE |
Claim via Social Media: intravenous vitamin c alternative to chemotherapy, kills cancer.
Lead Stories rating: False (Inconclusive. Please listen to an Oncologist.) |
| FALSE | Claim via Social Media: “Breaking: Judiciary Democrats just voted to support non-citizens voting in our elections.”
PolitiFact rating: False (A Democratic representative proposed a bill to make it easier for elections officials to provide ballots and other election materials to eligible voters who are not proficient in English. Noncitizen voting is already banned in federal law. Whether noncitizens can vote in nonfederal elections is up to states and local municipalities.) Instagram post wrongly says House Democrats voted to support noncitizen voting |
| BLATANT LIE |
Claim via Social Media: blood supply is contaminated by vaccinated blood.
Lead Stories rating: False (crackpot claims as it is not in the blood.) Fact Check: Blood Supply Is NOT Contaminated By People Who Got COVID-19 Shots |
| BLATANT LIE |
Claim by Tim Michels (R): “You know how many convicted felons Scott Walker let out during his eight years early on parole? Zero. Tony Evers is approaching 1,000 of these that he’s let out early.”
Politifact rating: Pants on Fire (During Scott Walker’s two terms as governor, the parole commission released nearly 1,400 people through discretionary and mandatory parole. Under Gov. Tony Evers, the commission has released 895.) Michels widely misses mark with claim on Walker, Evers and parole |
| FALSE | (International: Canada): Claim by Gateway Pundit: Study prepared for the Liberal Party of Canada finds 6 times more vaccinated people are in ICU
AFP Fact Check rating: False (not from the Liberal Party and not true.) |
