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)

| NO EVIDENCE |
Claim by Donald Trump (R): His administration “cut” the flow of illegal drugs entering the U.S. “by water, by ocean and sea” by 97%.
FactCheck.org rating: No Evidence (Federal seizure data does not measure total drug flow, because it excludes drugs that enter undetected; the 97% figure relies on a cherry-picked comparison between July 2025 and November 2025 seizure data.) |
| BLATANT LIE |
Claim via Social Media: Trump’s Truth Social account really made a post about an API service being unavailable (implying his posts are written by AI)
Lead Stories rating: False (The post is fake) |
| BLATANT LIE |
Claim by Donald Trump (R): Without U.S. airstrikes, Iran would “right now have a nuclear weapon” and “half of the world” might already be eradicated.
FactCheck.org rating: False (The U.S. Intelligence Community and International Atomic Energy Agency said in 2025 that Iran was not building a nuclear weapon, although its enriched uranium stockpile was a serious concern.) |
| TRUE | Claim via Social Media: A photograph authentically shows a double rainbow over the Kennedy Center on June 12, 2026, the day scaffolding was erected to remove Trump’s name from the building.
Snopes rating: True (Getty Images and news reports confirm the double rainbow appeared over the Kennedy Center on June 12 as scaffolding was erected; the letters were reportedly removed the following day after a weather delay.) Double rainbow formed over Kennedy Center on day Trump’s name was scheduled to be removed |
| TRUE | (International: Germany): A hotel in Germany responded to an Israeli booking inquiry by saying, “Sorry, there are no Jews allowed in our hotel.”
Snopes rating: True (The hotel acknowledged the message was unacceptable, but said it was sent after staff mistook the Israeli booking inquiry for a fake request.) Did a German hotel send ‘no Jews allowed’ message to Israeli guest? |
