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 Donald Trump (R): In the 2020 election, Donald Trump received more votes than any other Republican candidate or sitting president before him.

| BLATANT LIE |
Claim via Social Media: Video shows Tim Walz “falsely claims that being gay in Nebraska is ‘illegal’”
PolitiFact rating: False (Edited clip.) No, Walz didn’t claim it’s illegal to be gay in Nebraska. This clip is deceptively edited. |
| BLATANT LIE |
Claim via Social Media: President Joe Biden’s net worth jumped from $9 million in 2019 to $41 million in 2022 and Vice President Kamala Harris’ net worth went from $6.3 million to $28 million in the same time period.
Check Your Fact rating: False (The post is inaccurate. Estimates from Forbes show each politician’s 2022 net worth was significantly lower than the post claims.) FACT CHECK: No, Facebook Image Does Not Accurately Reflect Net Worth Of Joe Biden And Kamala Harris |
| FALSE | (International: Australia): Bird flu is not dangerous to humans.
Australian Associated Press rating: False (Human bird flu infection is rare but often deadly.) |
