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)

| NO EVIDENCE |
Claim via Social Media: California has 449,000 registered voters who could not serve on juries because they are not U.S. citizens.
AFP rating: No Evidence (The 449,000 figure refers to people disqualified from jury duty based on citizenship status, but jury pools can also come from DMV and tax records, not just voter rolls; AFP found no evidence those people were registered voters.) No evidence 449,000 noncitizens are registered to vote in California |
| BLATANT LIE |
Claim via Social Media: A real video shows Natalie Harp grinning over Trump’s shoulder.
Lead Stories rating: False (Made With AI) Fact Check: FAKE Video Shows Natalie Harp Grinning Over Trump’s Shoulder — AI-Generated |
| FALSE | Claim by Ken Paxton’s campaign: James Talarico said there are six genders.
FactCheck.org rating: False (Talarico said in 2021 that there are “six” biological sexes while discussing chromosomes and intersex conditions, not genders, and he later said there are two sexes with a small percentage of genetic abnormalities.) Paxton’s AI-Heavy Ad Leaves Out Context of Talarico Remarks About Christianity |
| BLATANT LIE |
Claim via Social Media: Nikki Haley said she wants to bring Palestinian refugees to the US.
Lead Stories rating: False (Haley called the claim “a total lie” on her official X account. Also, no credible evidence shows that she ever made such a statement or supported that stance.) |
| FALSE | (International: Russia): An image shows Vladimir Putin and other leaders sharing a selfie at a global summit.
AAP rating: False (The photo is an AI-generated fake.) |
