  • Fact Check: In Video, Generals Michael Flynn, Thomas McInerney Do NOT Provide Proven Facts About 2020 Election And COVID Pandemic

    Fact Check

    Does a video featuring Michael Flynn and Thomas McInerney contain only factual and proven statements? No, that's not true: The video recycles, without repairing, multiple false claims about COVID-19 and the 2020 election that have already been debunked. This fact-check considers seven such claims, including the allegation that COVID-19 was a "deliberate biological attack," that the vaccines for the virus…

  • Fact Check: NO Evidence Nancy Pelosi Had An Affair With JFK

    Fact Check

    Did Nancy Pelosi have an affair with John F. Kennedy for "7 long years"? No, that's not true: This meme, which features a real photo of a young Nancy Pelosi with John F. Kennedy, makes a false accusation alleging an affair, a claim that materialized in 2020 without evidence. This version of the claim offers no source. The claim has…

    Fact Check

    Does a newly discovered video show late-night deliveries of illegal ballots in Detroit, Michigan? No, that's not true: The ballots were legal votes. The 8 p.m. Election Day deadline was for casting ballots not counting them. The Michigan secretary of state's office told Lead Stories that what took place was "standard and appropriate practice."

    Fact Check

    By Dana Ford and Alexis Tereszcuk Does Mike Lindell's "Absolute Proof" video, which promises to expose election fraud, contain only factual and proven statements about the 2020 election? No, that's not true: The nearly two-hour video recycles familiar conspiracy theories, touching on claims that have been widely and repeatedly debunked. Among the disproven allegations are that dead people voted, that…

  • Fact Check: Supreme Court Did NOT Signal It Would Reconsider Texas' Bid To Overturn 2020 Election If Refiled As 'Bill Of Complaint'

    Fact Check

    Did the U.S. Supreme Court signal it would reconsider the Texas lawsuit seeking to overturn the results of the 2020 election, if refiled "with the correct terms"? No, that's not true: Election law experts consulted by Lead Stories agreed that technical differences in filing would not make any difference in the outcome of the case. They consider it closed. As…

  • Fact Check: NO Evidence Democrats Are Colluding With CIA To Alter Voting Machines

    Fact Check

    Are Democrats colluding with the CIA to alter votings machines in key swing states to help Joe Biden? No, there is no evidence to support this.

  • Fact Check: The U.S. Government Has NOT 'Finally Admitted' Marijuana Kills Cancer Cells

    Fact Check

    Has the U.S. government "finally" admitted that marijuana kills cancer cells? No, that's not true. A paper published by the government's National Institutes of Health concluded that while "cannabis and its derivatives may help to alleviate disease and therapy-related symptoms, there is no clinical evidence of its anti-cancer efficacy."
