  • Fake News: Former FBI Director James Comey NOT Implicated In Spy Ring

    Fact Check

    Did a website point to evidence implicating former FBI Director James Comey in a spy ring? No, that's not true: The story is "clickbait" and offers no documentary evidence to back up its claims.

  • Fake News: Israel Did Not Invent 5G Technology, And It Did Not Ban It

    Fact Check

    Did Israel invent 5G technology, then ban it because of health concerns? No. That's not true: Israel is aggressively pushing the 5G networking service through a tender to incentivize that country's carriers to start rolling it out, according to Reuters. While Israeli companies are actively developing 5G tech, it's not accurate to say that they invented it. The United States…

    Fact Check

    Is an "Emergency report" correctly predicting President Trump is planning mass arrest and military tribunals for "deep state traitors" based on some cited documents?
