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): His death-penalty executive order helped drive law enforcement line-of-duty deaths to an 80-year low.
FactCheck.org rating: Misleading (Line-of-duty deaths did fall to their lowest level since 1943, but the group tracking those deaths attributed the decline to safety practices and officer wellness efforts, not Trump’s order.) |
| BLATANT LIE |
Claim via Social Media: A summer 2026 UNICEF report “dismantled” the “lie” that there is or was a famine in Gaza.
Snopes.com rating: False (There is significant famine in Gaza.) UNICEF report didn’t disprove famine in Gaza, contrary to claims |
| BLATANT LIE |
Claim by Donald Trump (R): The Census Bureau found that over 24,000 Noncitizens voted illegally in the 2020 election meaning Trump won.
Lead Stories rating: False (While President Donald Trump claimed that a Census Bureau analysis “proves” more than 24,000 noncitizens voted illegally and that means he won the election, the report does not say that. It says that more than 24,000 of 128,000,000 registered voters the Census Bureau could analyze matched government immigration and visa records for which no indication of citizenship could be found, but it does not say who they voted for and the total numbers are smaller than the margin of victory.) Fact Check: Census Bureau Did NOT Find That Over 24,000 Noncitizens Voted Illegally in 2020 Election |
| FALSE | (International: India): BJP leaders are insulting the Indian flag
AFP Fact Check rating: False Old, altered visuals falsely shared as BJP disrespecting Indian flag |
