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)

Claim by Nancy Mace (R): New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani “is bringing Sharia law to America.”
PolitiFact rating: Pants on Fire (Zohran Mamdani has never said he seeks to implement Shariah in New York City, or anywhere in the U.S. Mamdani’s support for gay rights and decriminalizing sex work are the “antithesis” of Shariah. No one can implement Shariah in the United States, given legal protections under the Constitution.) |

The Quint rating: False No, India Hasn’t Pulled Out 500 Billion Euros From United Kingdom’s Economy |
