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 | Did he say it?: During his Senate confirmation hearing for his appointment to head U.S. President Donald Trump’s Department of Health and Human Services on Jan. 29, 2025, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. said: “All of my kids are vaccinated.”
Snopes rating: True (Correct Attribution) Yes, RFK Jr. Said His Kids Were Vaccinated During First Senate Confirmation Hearing |
| BLATANT LIE |
Claim via Social Media: A post shared on X claims that the President Donald Trump sent money to North Carolina that was formerly meant to illegal immigrants after Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) said they were out of money.
Check Your Fact rating: False (Originated as satire) FACT CHECK: Post Claims Trump Gave North Carolina Money Formerly Meant For Illegal Immigrants |
| MOSTLY FALSE |
Claim by Donald Trump (R): “The Biden administration kicked 2,000 displaced North Carolinians out of their temporary housing into freezing 20-degree weather,” earlier in January.
PolitiFact rating: Mostly False (The Federal Emergency Management Agency provided hotel or motel rooms to North Carolinians who needed temporary housing after Hurricane Helene. FEMA reviews participants’ eligibility every two weeks. As of Jan. 28, more than 2,600 North Carolina families remain in hotels. Of those, approximately 740 were notified the weekend of Jan. 18 that they have three weeks to leave because they no longer met the program’s criteria. Periodically reviewing eligibility and removing some people from the program is standard procedure and also happened during Donald Trump’s first presidency.) Fact-check: Trump misleads about North Carolina storm victims and FEMA housing |
| FALSE | Claim by Karoline Leavitt (R): The U.S. government spent or planned to spend $50 million exclusively on condoms in Gaza.
Lead Stories rating: False (There’s no evidence that the U.S. government intended to spend that much money just on condoms for the small territory. U.S. aid to Gaza is focused on humanitarian needs like food, medical supplies and other essential help.) Fact Check: NO Proof US Allocated $50 Million Solely For Condoms In Gaza |
| BLATANT LIE |
Claim via Social Media: AOC, Raskin filed impeachment articles over Trump’s Jan. 6 pardons.
USA Today rating: False (Ocasio-Cortez and Raskin have not introduced articles of impeachment against Trump over his pardons for Jan. 6 defendants. The claim originated as satire.) Impeachment articles not filed over Trump Jan. 6 pardons | Fact check |
| FALSE | (International: Russia): Claim by Andrey Isayev: “Trump threatened our president rather rudely, it must be said, pressuring to start the negotiations and reminding of Gadhafi’s fate.”
VOA rating: False (A deepfake that fooled some Russians.) Trump’s ‘make peace or die’ message to Putin is deepfake. Yet it fooled Russians |
