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 Donald Trump (R): A Michigan voter-registration case showed major fraud tied to a Democratic get-out-the-vote group in 2020.
FactCheck.org rating: Misleading (Fake registration applications were flagged before anyone voted or registered improperly, and investigators said the scheme appeared to involve low-level workers defrauding their employer, not an effort to alter the election.) |
| BLATANT LIE |
Claim via Social Media: Timothy Donahue is the ICE agent who shot dead Joan Sebastian Guerrero in Maine
Lead Stories rating: False (Not Named) |
| BLATANT LIE |
Claim via Social Media: A real yearbook photo shows a punk Pete Hegseth wearing guyliner.
Lead Stories rating: False (The image is AI-generated and is not Pete Hegseth’s yearbook photo. Forest Lake High School has an archive of past yearbooks and the real yearbook photos of Hegseth in his sophomore, junior, and senior year are different. The Hive Moderation content detection tool determined with 99.9% confidence that this image was AI-generated.) |
| FALSE | (International: France): A video shows Morocco fans rioting in Paris.
AAP rating: False (The video shows unrest in Paris following a 2022 shooting.) |
