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)

TRUE	Claim via Social Media: “Fortunate Son” by Creedence Clearwater Revival, a song about draft dodging, played during the military parade on June 14, 2025. Snopes rating: True (A Vietnam War protest song about society’s elite being able to dodge the draft while those less fortunate were forced to join up and ship out, was released in 1969.) ‘Fortunate Son,’ a song about draft dodging, was played at Trump’s military parade
BLATANT LIE	Claim via Social Media: Image shows an antifa debit card that can “automatically be funded after looting, rioting and gang stalking.” Politifact rating: False (Satire) No, that “antifa debit card” isn’t real, it was created by satirists
FALSE	Claim by Robert F. Kennedy Jr.: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s vaccine advisory panel “has been plagued with persistent conflicts of interest and has become little more than a rubber stamp for any vaccine.” FactCheck.org rating: False (There’s no evidence of problematic conflicts of interest or that the group inadequately scrutinizes vaccines.) RFK Jr.’s Flawed Justifications for ‘Clean Sweep’ of CDC Vaccine Advisory Panel
BLATANT LIE	Claim via Social Media: Video shows giant missile or weapon being transported by a truck labeled “Çaba & Misnak” Lead Stories rating: False (The video, captioned in one social media post as “the weapon that Israel fear the most” is several years old. It appears to show the transport of some heavy equipment to a gas plant in Uzbekistan by a company named “Çaba & Misnak”.) Fact Check: Video Does NOT Show Transport Of Giant Missile In Iran Or Elsewhere — Old Gas Plant Equipment Video
BLATANT LIE	Claim via Social Media: “Governor Tim Walz has DELETED every post he made praising Minnesota (assassin) Vance Boelter.” Politifact rating: False (Walz had not posted about Minnesota shooting suspect Vance Boelter on any social media platforms; that means there was nothing to delete after the shootings.) No proof Gov. Tim Walz posted, or deleted posts, about Minnesota shooting suspect Vance Boelter
