When appropriate, we explain the rating and/or offer our own rating if we disagree with the fact-checker. (D. Van Zandt)

| MISLEADING | Claim by the Epoch Times: The more doses on average you have in a region within the United States, the bigger increase in mortality that region has had in 2022 when compared to 2021”
Health Feedback rating: Misleading (The claim is based on a comparison of the mortality rate with the level of vaccine coverage in different areas. However, this analysis doesn’t tell us whether the people who died were vaccinated. Therefore, this type of analysis alone doesn’t provide reliable information about whether vaccination causes increased mortality; a correlation isn’t sufficient to demonstrate a causal relationship.) |
| BLATANT LIE |
Claim via Social Media: “‘The View’ settles with the Rittenhouses for $22 million and a formal apology.”
Politifact rating: False (Originated as satire and shared by the gullible.) Post about ‘The View’ and Kyle Rittenhouse is satire; there is no lawsuit settlement |
| BLATANT LIE |
Claim via Social Media: The Biden administration is proposing cuts to Medicare Advantage.
WFAA rating: False (the Biden administration isn’t proposing Medicare Advantage cuts.) Fact-checking ads about Biden cuts to Medicare Advantage | wfaa.com |

Claim by Elise Stefanik (R): New York City Mayor Eric Adams proposes to “ban chocolate milk.”

First Coast News rating: True Elected officials can endorse candidates, but not while on duty | firstcoastnews.com |
| FALSE | (International: Nigeria): Nigeria’s Peter Obi fled the country after election.
AFP Fact Check rating: False Post falsely claims Nigerian presidential candidate fled the country days after polling |
