  • Fake News: Bernie Sanders NOT Elected Governor of Virginia

    Fact Check

    Was Bernie Sanders just elected Governor of Virginia during the U.S. midterm elections? No, that's not true: he did get elected but it was as Senator for Vermont. The "news" that he got the governorship of Virginia came from a left-wing satire site that likes to poke fun at conservatives and Trump supporters by tricking them into liking and sharing…

  • Fake News: George Soros NOT Among 7 Dead In Thompson Amtrak Derailing

    Fact Check

    Was George Soros killed in an Amtrak train derailment near Thompson, California? No, that's not true; the news was made up by a liberal satire website that often gets its content copied by fake news websites from Macedonia, omitting the satire disclaimer. Even without that disclaimer the story contains so many obvious hints only a total idiot would believe it.…

    Fact Check

    Was $1.8 billion of George Soros' money just intercepted and is he going to prison for years over it? Not really, the headline is entirely made up, there is no truth to it at all. It was used by a scammy website being run from Eastern Europe that hopes to profit from gullible Trump supporters by feeding them fake headlines…

    Fact Check

Facebook page Mad World News posted a meme on April 18, 2018 that claimed just that (archived here), adding just this caption above the image: George Soros...…

    Satire

    Folks, the vicious feud between President Trump and the fake news media has finally come to an end.

    Fact Check

    Were protesters really paid $300 each by George Soros to attend the "March For Our Lives" event and was he "busted" for doing this? Not really. The claim is being pushed by an unreliable website based on a few tweets and a Craigslist ad. The story originated from an article published on March 25, 2018 on YourNewsWire titled "Busted: Soros…

    Fact Check

    You may have heard President Donald J. Trump told George Soros to "go to hell" while they met during the World Economic Forum in Davos earlier in January 2018. There is no evidence that happened.
