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 by President Donald Trump (R): “I settled eight wars in eight months.”
PolitiFact Rating: Exaggerated (Trump helped broker several ceasefires, including between Israel and Iran, India and Pakistan, and Armenia and Azerbaijan, but most were temporary. Violence persisted elsewhere, and some disputes, like Egypt and Ethiopia’s, were diplomatic rather than wars.) Fact-checking Donald Trump’s speech in Israel on same day as hostage, prisoner releases |
| TRUE | Claim via Social Media: In November 2025, Walmart.com sold a shirt containing a fascist salute pictured over a raised fist and the caption “paper beats rock.”
Snopes rating: True (Multiple third-party sellers listed the shirt, which was a clear violation of Walmart’s prohibited products policy, on the retailer’s website through the Walmart Marketplace program. Social media users quickly started a campaign to report the shirt’s listings. Walmart has since removed listings of the shirt.) Shirt with Nazi salute was briefly sold on Walmart’s website |
| BLATANT LIE |
Claim via Social Media: Video of Michelle Wu calling Donald Trump an “asshole” in a high pitched voice is real.
Lead Stories rating: False (Doctored Video) |
| FALSE | (International: Philippines): Senate President Vicente Sotto III has been ousted as the Chamber’s leader.
VERA Files rating: False |
