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)

| MOSTLY TRUE |
Claim by RaShon Young (D): “It is against the constitution to redraw maps in favor of a party.”
PolitiFact rating: Mostly True (Florida’s constitution prohibits partisan gerrymandering, though redistricting itself is allowed if not done with partisan intent.) Is Florida’s mid-decade redistricting plan ‘illegal,’ as some Democrats say? |
| BLATANT LIE |
Claim via Social Media: A photo authentically shows U.S. first lady Melania Trump kissing the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein on the lips.
Snopes rating: Fake |
| BLATANT LIE |
Claim via Social Media: Sharon Simmons, who delivered food to Trump at the White House, is not a real DoorDash driver.
Lead Stories rating: False (DoorDash, its spokesperson, and Simmons’ own congressional testimony all confirm she is a real “dasher” — the company’s term for delivery drivers.) |
| MISLEADING | Claim by Donald Trump (R): He ended all taxes on overtime.
PolitiFact rating: Misleading (The law reduces taxes on some overtime income but applies only to certain workers and expires in 2028.) Trump tax cuts: Sorting truth versus spin on tips, overtime, Social Security policy before Tax Day |
| FALSE | (International: India): Clip shows violence ahead of eastern Indian state election.
AFP Fact Check rating: False Bangladesh protest video falsely shared as Indian election violence |
