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)

| TRUE | Claim by Robert Ortt (R): If New York’s proposed limits on natural gas in buildings take effect, the grid today can’t handle the increased electric load.
Politifact rating: True (A National Grid representative said during a state Senate hearing that the company knows the grid will have to be expanded to be able to provide the amount of electricity required under the state’s plan.) Electrical grid requires investments if natural gas use decreases |
| BLATANT LIE |
Claim by The Expose: “most of the individuals who had been fully vaccinated would develop full-blown vaccine-induced acquired immunodeficiency syndrome by the end of the month”
Health Feedback rating: Incorrect (Vaccines induce a pathogen-specific immunological memory. The ability of a vaccine to stimulate immunological memory against one pathogen doesn’t tell us about the immune system’s ability to combat other pathogens or diseases. Hence, the alleged lack of effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines wouldn’t mean that the immune system cannot fight back other infections or cancer.) COVID-19 vaccines don’t cause immunodeficiency and aren’t associated with excess mortality |
| MISLEADING | Claim by Joe Biden (D): “For too many decades, we imported projects and exported jobs,” but now “we’re exporting American products and creating American jobs.”
FactCheck.org rating: Misleading (U.S. imports of goods and services have continued to exceed exports under Biden.) |
| FALSE | Claim by Kevin McCarthy (R): Did Joe Biden increase the deficit by $800 billion?
Newsweek rating: False (The deficit has decreased from around $3.1 trillion to just below $1.4 trillion since FY 2020, according to Treasury data.) Fact Check: Did Joe Biden Increase the Deficit by $800 Billion? |
| FALSE | Claim via Social Media: President Joe Biden waited to let China collect all its information from the balloon before it was shot down.
PolitiFact rating: Unfounded |
| FALSE | (International: United Kingdom): The Church of England has dropped the terms ‘God’ or ‘Father’ from the Lord’s Prayer.
Lead Stories rating: False (Still ‘God’) |
