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)

| TRUE | Claim via Social Media: Following the 9/11 terrorist attacks, then-real estate developer Donald Trump said 40 Wall Street, a building he owns, was “the tallest” in downtown Manhattan.
Snopes.com rating: True (Correct Attribution) Did Trump say he owned ‘tallest’ building in downtown Manhattan after 9/11? |
| MISLEADING | Claim by Donald Trump (R): Democrats voted against “no tax on tips,” “no tax on overtime” and “no tax on Social Security.”
FactCheck.org rating: Misleading (Democrats opposed the overall bill largely because of its tax benefits for high earners and Medicaid and food-benefit cuts, not specifically because of those provisions.) |
| BLATANT LIE |
Claim via Social Media: A real Grindr outage took place in Dallas during the 2026 Republican National Convention.
