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 Codes: Red = Fact Check on a Right Claim, Blue = Fact Check on a Left Claim, Black = Not Political/Conspiracy/Pseudoscience/Other
Fact Checker bias rating Codes: Red = Right-Leaning, Green = Least Biased, Blue = Left-Leaning, Black = Unrated by MBFC
| FALSE | Claim via Social Media: A video shows American Civil Liberties Union lawyer Chase Strangio arguing that two-year-olds should receive gender-affirming medical interventions.
Lead Stories rating: False (A video on social media misrepresents what he said about gender-affirming care, which is typically about juveniles and involves decisions made by doctors and families. His statement on CNN was specific to adolescents — not toddlers. The ACLU supports access to necessary medical care for youth, but treatments for toddlers are not part of standard medical practices or what the ACLU advocates for.) |
| BLATANT LIE |
Claim via Social Media: U.S. President-elect Donald Trump scored 73 on an IQ test while at the New York Military Academy.
Snopes.com rating: False (Fake. There is no record of Trump’s IQ.) |
| BLATANT LIE |
Claim by Tracy Beanz & Michelle Edwards: Wind turbines emit infrasound that is harmful to human health.
Science Feedback rating: Unsupported (Controlled studies have not found any evidence linking infrasound noise to annoyances, sleep disturbances, or any other symptoms.) No evidence to show that infrasound from wind turbines is harmful to human health |
| MISLEADING | Claim by Markwayne Mullin (R): Suggested that vaccines might cause autism because “there’s not been a direct study on each individual vaccine.”
FactCheck.org rating: Misleading (Extensive research has found no credible links between vaccines and autism. While individual autism-focused studies for every vaccine have not been conducted, broad research has repeatedly debunked any link between autism and vaccines, including ingredients like thimerosal or the cumulative number of vaccines.) |
| BLATANT LIE |
Claim via Social Media: UnitedHealthcare posted a job ad for a new CEO after fatal shooting.
KGW rating: False (UnitedHealthcare didn’t post a job ad for a new CEO after shooting.) No, UnitedHealthcare didn’t post a job listing for a new CEO the day after Brian Thompson’s death |
| FALSE | (International: Ukraine): An image shows mobile morgues delivered by Coca-Cola to store the bodies of Ukrainian soldiers.
Australian Associated Press rating: False (The image has been manipulated by pro-Russian websites and does not show morgues.) Russian websites spread altered image of Coca-Cola boilers in Ukraine |

MBFC’s daily fact checks are a great reminder to slow down and verify claims before sharing them, especially when headlines are designed to trigger an emotional reaction. I appreciate how these roundups make it easier to spot misleading context and follow the evidence behind each rating. On a lighter note, that same attention to detail helps in games too—block blast (BLOCK BLAST) is an iconic horror game that delivers a truly tense and suspenseful experience, where every small choice can matter. Which fact check from the December 10 roundup did you find most surprising or worth discussing?
I appreciate that MBFC distinguishes adolescent care from toddler treatments in the ACLU fact check, but I still question whether aggregating so many ratings can capture each claim’s nuance. sms bus rental
I appreciate the careful distinction in the Lead Stories check: the claim concerned toddlers, while the cited CNN remarks addressed adolescents. That kind of precise context is far more useful than viral outrage. <a href=”https://esimx.com/esim-vietnam
