MBFC's Daily Vetted Fact Checks for 07/30/2026

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)

Fact Checker bias rating Codes: Red = Right-Leaning, Green = Least Biased, Blue = Left-Leaning, Black = Unrated by MBFC

MISLEADING	Claim by Donald Trump (R): China wanted him to lose the 2020 election. PolitiFact rating: Misleading (Some intelligence indicated China preferred Trump lose or considered influence efforts, but the 2021 intelligence report said China did not view either Trump or Biden winning as advantageous enough to risk getting caught meddling.) Fact-checking Trump’s address: What he said about China and 2020 election, what documents show Donald Trump Rating
FALSE	Claim via Social Media: FCC fines NBC and ABC $25 million for not carrying President Trump speech, CBS $10 million for not airing in its entirety. Lead Stories rating: False (No fines, but some threats) Fact Check: FCC Did NOT Fine NBC, ABC $25 Million For Not Carrying President Trump’s Speech, Or CBS $10 Million For Not Airing It In Its Entirety
FALSE	Claim via Social Media: More than 250,000 non-U.S. citizens are registered to vote across California, Nevada, New Jersey and Pennyslvania. Snopes rating: False (The Department of Homeland Security did not provide any evidence supporting its claim, as with many other allegations of widespread voter fraud by President Donald Trump and his administration.) DHS claimed 250K noncitizens are registered to vote across 4 states. Here’s the truth
BLATANT LIE	Claim via Social Media: The state of Minnesota said it plans to use “transgender dolls” in school classrooms in the fall of 2026. Lead Stories rating: False (The state’s Department of Education denied that. The dolls are a project of University of Minnesota, and, according to the statement of the academics behind it, are meant to be a “therapeutic tool for use by licensed professionals”, not for use in public classroom settings.) Fact Check: Minnesota Department of Education Did NOT Announce ‘Transgender Dolls’ For Public School Classrooms In Fall 2026
FALSE	(International: Australia): 76% of pregnant women vaccinated against Covid-19 experience miscarriage. Full Fact rating: False (This figure appears to be based on a very small sample of high-risk pregnancies. The vaccine has no link with miscarriage.) Covid vaccines don’t raise your risk of miscarriage – Full Fact
