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): “If people come into our country illegally, there’s a different standard” for due process.
Politifact rating: False (The U.S. Constitution, legal experts and decades of court decisions agree: Immigrants in the U.S., regardless of how they entered the U.S., legally or illegally, have due process rights.) Is Trump right that immigrants in U.S. illegally have different due process standards? That’s False |
| MISLEADING | Claim via Social Media: The new Pope is a registered republican from Will County
Lead Stories rating: Misleading (According to the Will County Clerk’s Office file, the new Pope did vote in Republican primaries in the past, but that doesn’t make him a “registered Republican” because Illinois does not require eligible voters to declare their party affiliation to be able to vote.) |
| BLATANT LIE |
Claim by Bryan Ardis: Nicotine cures Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, ulcerative colitis, and multiple sclerosis; nicotine is a treatment for autism.
Science Feedback rating: False (While some studies reported an association between nicotine use and a lower risk of certain diseases like Parkinson’s and multiple sclerosis, there’s no evidence showing that nicotine cures these diseases. There’s also insufficient evidence for the claim that nicotine treats symptoms of autism.) No evidence for chiropractor Bryan Ardis’ claim that nicotine cures Parkinson’s and other diseases |
| FALSE | (International: Pakistan): Video shows Pakistani citizens ‘withdrawing money in panic’.
Logically Facts rating: False No, video doesn’t show ‘panicking Pakistanis withdrawing money’ |
