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 via Social Media: Donald Trump’s plane flew to Jeffrey Epstein’s island at least 37 times.
Snopes rating: False (No evidence supports the claim; Little St. James has no airstrip, making direct flights impossible, and the originator’s credentials as a “retired pilot” are dubious.) ‘Retired Pilot’ Claimed Trump’s Plane Flew to Epstein’s Island 37 Times. Here Are the Facts |
| MOSTLY FALSE |
Claim by Donald Trump (R): “Promises kept: negative net migration (in the U.S.) for the first time in 50 years!”
PolitiFact rating: Mostly False (Available 2025 numbers are projections, not final data. Only one group projects negative net migration; four others predict it will remain positive. Official Census Bureau figures won’t be available until December 2025.) Trump’s Claims of Negative Net Migration Are Premature. Some Analysts Say It Could Happen. |
| BLATANT LIE |
Claim via Social Media: Rep. Jasmine Crockett endorsed Republican Sen. John Cornyn’s reelection campaign.
The Dispatch Fact Check rating: False (In an MSNBC interview, Crockett said she didn’t “hate” Cornyn and contrasted him with Ted Cruz, but she did not endorse him.) No, Jasmine Crockett Didn’t Endorse John Cornyn’s Reelection Bid |
| FALSE | (International: Canada): Breaking News video shows Quebec, Canada church set afire by Muslim migrants.
Lead Stories rating: False (The fire happened 10 months before the video was posted. Official reports at the time noted a private developer was developing housing on the site and the origin of the fire appeared to be a container next to the Notre-Dame-des-Sept-Allégresses church in the town of Trois Rivieres.) |
