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)

| BLATANT LIE |
Claim by RFK Jr.: “We brought that petition after CDC recommended COVID vaccine without any scientific basis for 6-year-old children.”

| TRUE | Claim via Social Media: In 2021, during former U.S. President Joe Biden’s administration, Mexico increased numbers of troops at its borders an effort to reduce migration.

| BLATANT LIE |
Claim via Social Media: Graph shows Chelsea Clinton taking home $84 million.
Lead Stories rating: False (The amount was labeled as the “Gross receipts” of the “Bill Hillary & Chelsea Clinton” foundation, without mentioning the period it applied to. The same website listed Chelsea Clinton’s compensation at that foundation as $0, which matches data from ProPublica’s Nonprofit Explorer based on tax filings.) |
| FALSE | (International: Philippines): Since the Philippines withdrew from the International Criminal Court (ICC) in 2019, the ICC no longer has jurisdiction over allegations related to the drug war killings under the Duterte administration.
Rappler rating: False FACT CHECK: ICC has jurisdiction over drug war cases despite PH withdrawal |
