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)

| MOSTLY TRUE |
Claim via Social Media: Three Democratic women running for Congress were in car accidents in October, days ahead of the midterm elections.
Snopes rating: Mostly True (Three Democratic congressional candidates were injured in separate car accidents, two in October and one in August, but there is no evidence that any were deliberately targeted.)
Were 3 Democratic women running for Congress in car crashes ahead of the midterms? |
| BLATANT LIE |
Claim by Donald Trump (R): Americans now pay the lowest prescription drug prices in the world, with prices reduced by 300% to 700%.
FactCheck.org rating: False (There is no evidence Trump’s drug-pricing agreements have broadly reduced U.S. prices to the lowest in the world. Reductions greater than 100% are also mathematically impossible unless sellers pay consumers to take the drugs.) |
| BLATANT LIE |
Claim via Social Media: President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social: “Why are we wasting time counting ballots? Everybody already knows the Republicans WON the 2026 midterms in a historic landslide! ALL 50 STATES!”
Full Fact rating: False (There is no evidence Donald Trump made any such post on his Truth Social account. It was initially posted by a satire account.) |
| MISLEADING | Claim by Donald Trump (R): The One Big Beautiful Bill Act created “no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, no tax on Social Security.”
FactCheck.org rating: Misleading (The law created limited deductions or exclusions subject to income caps and other restrictions rather than eliminating all taxes on those forms of income. The provisions also expire after 2028.) |
| FALSE | (International: United Kingdom): A video shows UK police confiscating a mannequin after complaints from the Pakistani community it was dressed in “immodest clothing”.
Full Fact rating: False (This video actually shows police officers attending a protest in November 2025 against the government’s decision to ban Palestine Action.) |
