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)

| FALSE | Claim by Robert F. Kennedy Jr.: The U.S. is doing “better than any country in the world” at controlling measles outbreaks.
FactCheck.org rating: False (Dozens of countries have had fewer measles cases per capita than the U.S., and experts said there is no evidence the U.S. has the world’s best measles response.) RFK Jr.’s Faulty Claim that U.S. Measles Response Is ‘Better’ Than ‘Any Other Country’ |
| MOSTLY TRUE |
Claim by Donald Trump (R): “Since I took office, we have created more than 1 million new private sector jobs.”
AP News rating: Mostly True (The U.S. had added about 807,000 jobs since Trump began his second term, which is relatively close to 1 million but still below his stated figure.) FACT FOCUS: Trump made multiple false and misleading claims in front of the UN General Assembly |
| MISLEADING | Claim via Social Media: A video and screenshot authentically show the overflow crowd at President Donald Trump’s Minnesota rally in September 2026.
Snopes rating: Misleading (The footage is authentic, but it was recorded at a Trump rally in St. Cloud, Minnesota, in July 2024, not at a September 2026 rally.) Does footage show ‘overflow’ crowd at 2026 Minnesota Trump rally? Here’s the real story |
| FALSE | (International: Australia): Senator Fatima Payman called Natalie Barr a racist during a TV interview.
AAP rating: False (The interview did not occur and the quotes have been fabricated.) |
