Fact Check Search

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)

MISLEADING Claim via Social Media: Stephen Miller plagiarized Joseph Goebbels’ 1932 speech “The Storm is Coming” in his remarks at Charlie Kirk’s memorial.

Snopes rating: Misleading (Miller did not copy Goebbels word-for-word, but both speeches share rhetorical similarities, including “storm” imagery, calls to rise and build, and framing a slain figure as a martyr.)
