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 Donald Trump (R): “We gave you (Ukraine) $350 billion.” Politifact rating: False (The amount the U.S. has spent on Ukraine varies depending on what’s being counted, but most estimates are in the $175 billion to $185 billion range.) Trump, Vance and Zelenskyy’s tense Oval Office meeting about Ukraine and Russia, fact-checked |
| FALSE | Claim by Children’s Health Defense: Measles vaccine caused Texas outbreak; measles vaccine is responsible for measles outbreaks
Science Feedback rating: Incorrect (The measles vaccine contains live, attenuated (weakened) measles virus, which means it’s unable to cause disease in people with a properly functioning immune system. Those with immunodeficiency disorders, such as people with inherited genetic defects in their immune systems, may be recommended to avoid receiving live vaccines, as even the weakened virus can cause disease in this group. But there’s no evidence that such vaccine-associated infections have been transmitted to people with a properly working immune system.) Vaccine skeptics misconstrue studies to falsely claim that measles vaccine causes measles outbreaks |
| FALSE | Claim by JD Vance: Zelenskyy “went to Pennsylvania and campaigned for the opposition in October.”
PolitiFact rating: False (Zelenskyy met with Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, a Democrat, but that was not a campaign event. It was at a Scranton ammunition plant, where Zelenskyy thanked workers producing munitions for Ukraine.) Trump, Vance and Zelenskyy’s tense Oval Office meeting about Ukraine and Russia, fact-checked |
| FALSE | (International: United Kingdom): 40% of the recently announced energy price rise is due to costs associated with Net Zero.
Full Fact rating: False (Of the £111 increase to the energy price cap from April 2025, approximately 10% is accounted for by an increase in environmental and social scheme costs (or 22% of electricity-only bills) ‘Net Zero’ policy costs do not account for 25% of an electricity bill – Full Fact |
