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)

| FALSE | Claim via Social Media: “The January 6 committee disbanded immediately after the new footage was released.”
Politifact rating: False (The House Select Committee to investigate the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol shut down in early January. It didn’t disband in connection with a March 6 Fox News segment.) No, Tucker Carlson’s airing of Jan. 6 footage wasn’t connected to House select committee’s end |
| BLATANT LIE |
Claim by davidjharrisjr.com: Children’s hospital of Philadelphia offers gender affirming care to three 3-year-olds.
Lead Stories rating: False (The hospital’s Gender and Sexuality Development Program offers “psychosocial and medical support for gender nonconforming, gender expansive and transgender children and youth up to age 21 and their families.” However, in pre-pubescent children below the age of 8, the program only offers social and behavioral support to a child’s caregiver, which is described by the program’s director as “parent-only support.”) |
| BLATANT LIE |
Claim by Stew Peters: Joe Biden advisor John Podesta is in naked body paint photo?
Newsweek rating: False (The man in the photo is not John Podesta.) Fact Check: Is Biden Advisor John Podesta in Naked Body Paint Photo? |
| MOSTLY FALSE |
Claim by Joe Biden (D): “If you add up” Republican budget proposals, they “would add more than $3 trillion to the debt over 10 years.”
FactCheck.org rating: Mostly False (President Biden is cherry-picking: There are some Republican proposals that would add to the debt, but the most recent Republican Study Committee budget proposal also includes deep spending cuts, which would trim deficits far more than Biden proposed doing.) |
| BLATANT LIE |
Claim by Viral Image: A post shared on Facebook claims Democratic Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar introduced a bill to ban the sale of bacon nationwide.
Check Your Fact rating: False (She did not.) FACT CHECK: Did Ilhan Omar Introduce A Bill To ‘Ban The Sale Of Bacon?’ |
| FALSE | (International: New Zealand): The “biggest increase in registered deaths in 100 years” in New Zealand is due to the nation’s high vaccination rate.
Lead Stories rating: False (Death from Covid-19 are the reason, not vaccines.) |
