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)

| TRUE | Claim by Donald Trump (R): States he would deport citizen children of undocumented parents. Is it unconstitutional to deport U.S. citizens?
KREM rating: True (The president cannot deport U.S. citizens, including those with undocumented parents, because doing so would be unconstitutional. The U.S. Constitution protects natural-born citizens from being deported by the government.) |
| BLATANT LIE |
Claim via Social Media: Biden can pardon Luigi Mangione.
Lead Stories rating: False (Biden cannot pardon state charges.) |
| FALSE | (International: United Kingdom): Edward Snowden has revealed that the High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) is engaged in weather manipulation, assassination and mind control.
Full Fact rating: False (The source of the claims is a satirical article published in 2013. These were not real comments by Edward Snowden, and the HAARP research facility is not able to do any of this.) |
