Media Bias Fact Check selects and publishes fact checks from around the world. We only utilize fact-checkers who 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)

Claim by Naturopath Barbara O’Neill: Bones “are not made of calcium”; wild yam is a treatment for osteoporosis
Health Feedback rating: Inaccurate (Calcium is one of the most important components of bone and essential to bone formation. Low calcium intake is a risk factor for osteoporosis, and adopting a calcium-rich diet is one of the first steps to prevent or slow down osteoporosis. Contrary to the mechanism presented in the claim, osteoporosis is associated with a lower level of estrogen—not higher.) |

| BLATANT LIE |
Claim via Social Media Meme: Someone with dark skin and an Arabic name convicted of repeatedly raping a 12 year old got just 180 hours of community service in the UK and no jail time, (which is way less than what two white racists got for just commenting on Facebook and selling stickers.)
Lead Stories rating: False (The Gang Got 36yrs) |
| FALSE | Claim via Social media: Project 2025 says, “The only valid family is a working father married to a stay-at-home mother and their children.”
