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: Has Fox News fired Laura Ingraham?
Newsweek rating: False (The claims about Ingraham appear to have been prompted by rumors of scheduling changes at the station, which the network has not confirmed.) |
| TRUE | Claim by Tim Scott (R): “For African American families in particular, the homeownership rate remains relatively unchanged since 1968, the year the Fair Housing Act was signed into law.”
PolitiFact rating: True (In 1970, two years after the Fair Housing Act was signed into law, the census found that 42% of Black households owned their own homes. In 2022, that number was 44%.) Sen. Tim Scott said Black homeownership has been static since 1968 housing law. He’s right. |
| BLATANT LIE |
Claim by New York Post: Homeless veterans were kicked out of NY hotels to house migrants.
WGRZ rating: False (Homeless veterans weren’t kicked out of NY hotels to house migrants.) |
| FALSE | (International: Russia): Claim by Sergey Lavrov: “[M]any people in the current German administration have inherited Nazi genes. It is a fact.”
POLYGRAPH.info rating: False |
