Fact Check Search

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)

Politifact rating: False (Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., said in a June 8 video at the Metropolitan Detention Center that immigrants in general should have due process, be given an opportunity to present their cases and then be considered for U.S. citizenship.)

BLATANT LIE	Claim by Chiropractor Daniel Pompa: Drinking urine or applying it to the body is beneficial for health; urea in urine is good for the skin. Science Feedback Rating: Unsupported (Some claims about urine therapy’s benefits cite the presence of stem cells in urine. While urine-derived stem cells are indeed being studied for their therapeutic potential, there’s no evidence that they impart benefits by being directly consumed or applied to the body.) Social media claims of urine therapy benefits not backed by scientific evidence
