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: An audio clip reveals a Jeffrey Epstein victim’s account of abuse by the Clintons.
PolitiFact rating: Pants on Fire! (It is AI abuse. Fake) This isn’t ‘newly leaked’ audio from an Epstein victim about the Clintons. It’s AI |
| MISLEADING | Claim by President Donald Trump (R): “In one year, we have lifted 2.4 million Americans, a record, off of food stamps.”
PolitiFact rating: Misleading (The 2.4 million figure refers to projected SNAP benefit losses due to expanded work requirements, not necessarily people who became financially self-sufficient.) State of the Union fact-check: Trump exaggerates on economy, immigration |
| TRUE | Claim via Social Media: A video shared online in late February 2026 authentically shows U.S. President Donald Trump telling the U.S. men’s Olympic hockey team he would also “have to” invite the women’s team to the White House for a victory celebration or he “probably would be impeached.”
Snopes.com rating: True (yes, this was recorded when calling the US Men’s Hockey team after their gold medal victory.) Video shows Trump saying he’d ‘have to’ bring women’s hockey team to White House |
| FALSE | (International: Malaysia): Pfizer jabs contain tuberculosis.
AFP rating: False Covid-19 vaccine falsely linked to tuberculosis spike in Malaysia |
