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)

| FALSE | Claim by Laura Loomer: “Marjorie Taylor Greene moved to Costa Rica.”
Snopes rating: False (Snopes could not confirm that Greene moved to Costa Rica or owned property there; Greene said she lives in Georgia, and available Georgia property records did not conclusively prove Loomer’s claim.) Did Marjorie Taylor Greene move to Costa Rica? There’s no proof |
| BLATANT LIE |
Claim via Social Media: Trump admin counter-terror document mentioned “pro-transgender” groups and “We Will Kill You” on the same page
Lead Stories rating: False (The fabricated image cuts and pastes together different sections of the White House document “United States Counterterrorism Strategy 2026.” This takes the information out of context and changes its emphasis.) |
| BLATANT LIE |
Claim via Social Media: U.S. President Donald Trump posted on X that he would make it illegal to “photograph or post gas prices.”

| FALSE | (International: United Kingdom): Videos show Nigel Farage saying “London is fast becoming the wild west and an absolute s***show” criticizing the Mayor for “taking the piss out of each and every one of us”.

Video of Nigel Farage altered to include fake audio of him criticising London leadership – Full Fact |
