Media Bias Fact Check selects and publishes fact checks from around the world. We only use fact-checkers who are either signatories to 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 Robert F. Kennedy Jr.: Since Trump took office, obesity is down 7% after 40 years of increase.
FactCheck.org rating: Misleading (Gallup data show obesity began declining around 2022, before Trump returned to office, and the latest 2024-to-2026 decline was much smaller than Kennedy claimed.) |
| BLATANT LIE |
Claim via Social Media: Sen. Marsha Blackburn said she would bring back school segregation if elected governor of Tennessee.
Snopes rating: False (Originated as satire) Marsha Blackburn didn’t say she would bring back school segregation in Tennessee if elected governor |
| MISLEADING | Claim by JD Vance (R): “100% of the job growth” under Trump is going to American citizens.
FactCheck.org rating: Misleading (Federal data appear to show native-born employment gains and foreign-born employment losses, but experts said that data source is not reliable for the comparison Vance made.) |
| BLATANT LIE |
Claim by Donald Trump (R): “I built almost 2,000 miles” of border wall.
FactCheck.org rating: False (The Trump administration built 674 miles total when counting replacement and secondary wall, and only 124 miles of new wall where none existed before.) |
| FALSE | (International: Australia): Anthony Albanese has announced he plans to resign as Prime Minister of Australia soon.
AAP rating: False (There is no public record of him making any such announcement.) |
