Llegó a su fin la primera Convención Nacional Demócrata virtual de la historia. El jueves, Joe Biden aceptó oficialmente su nominación como candidato presidencial, en un salón sin público del Chase Center en Wilmington, Delaware. Durante cuatro noches escuchamos decenas de discursos y testimonios de personalidades, políticos y ciudadanos de todo el país. Telemundo y el sitio de verificación Politifact comprobaron las afirmaciones que los participantes hicieron frente a las cámaras, desde Barack Obama hasta Hillary Clinton y, por supuesto, Biden. Este es un resumen con los fact-checks más notables de la jornada. ➡️ “Y mientras el virus nos toca a todos, tenemos que ser honestos. No ataca a todos por igual. Negros, latinos y las personas indígenas están sufriendo y muriendo desproporcionadamente”. –Kamala Harris, candidata a la vicepresidencia, 19 de agosto de 2020. Esto es verdad, basado en los datos disponibles. ![\\"Kamala](\\" HarrisAP / AP El Centro Nacional de Alergias y Enfermedades Infecciosas tiene datos sobre los casos y las muertes por COVID-19, desglosados por raza y etnicidad. Sin embargo, no todos los casos se reportan con esta información. Entre los casos que sí tienen estos detalles, los hispanos representan el 31% de contagios y el 16.9% de las muertes. Las personas negras conforman el 19.8% de los casos y el 23.3% de las muertes. Y los indígenas estadounidenses y los nativos de Alaska representan el 1.2% de los contagios y 0.8% de las muertes. Estos datos no están contrastados con la proporción de la población que cada uno de estos grupos representa. Algunas fuentes han intentado ofrecer más contexto. El COVID Racial Data Tracker pidió a cada estado datos completos por raza y etnicidad. La información fue analizada con los datos de la Oficina del Censo, comparándola con la proporción de la población total que los distintos grupos representan. Según la página web del sitio, la tasa nacional de mortalidad entre las personas negras es casi dos veces y media mayor que la de personas blancas. En mayo, NPR analizó los datos del COVID Racial Data Tracker y reportó que en 42 estados y Washington, D.C. los hispanos contagiados representan una porción mayor a su proporción en la población total. También se encontró que la mortalidad de personas blancas por COVID-19 era menor que su proporción en la población total de 37 estados y Washington, D.C. ![\\"\\"](\\" Jóvenes latinos piden a Joe Biden que la reforma migratoria sea prioridad 04:09 El diario The New York Times también revisó los datos del CDC por raza y etnia. Según el análisis que hizo en julio, los latinos y los afroamericanos en Estados Unidos tienen el triple de probabilidades de contagiarse del virus que los blancos. También tienen el doble de posibilidades de morir de COVID-19 que la población blanca. El Times también analizó en julio algunos datos más limitados de agencias de salud estatales y locales sobre el impacto del COVID-19 en las comunidades e nativoamericanos. En su análisis, la tasa de casos conocidos en ocho condados casi duplica el promedio nacional. También hay algunos condados más pequeños con grandes poblaciones de nativoamericanos qued tienen altas tasas de contagio de COVID-19. ➡️ “Pese a lo que dice el presidente, el voto por correo ha sido una opción segura y probada por décadas. En 2016, 33 millones de estadounidenses votaron por correo. Incluso Donald Trump ha solicitado dos veces este año una papeleta de voto en ausencia”. –Senadora Catherine Cortez Masto, demócrata por Nevada, 17 de agosto de 2020. Cortez Masto está en lo correcto sobre las cifras de voto por correo en 2016 y sobre el uso de este recurso por el propio Trump este año en Florida. ![\\"En](\\" esta captura de pantalla de la transmisión en vivo de la Convención Nacional Demócrata de 2020, la senadora Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV) se dirige a la convención virtual el 17 de agosto de 2020.DNCC via Getty Images Durante la elección general del 2016, casi uno de cada cuatro votos fueron emitidos por correo, de acuerdo a la Comisión de Asistencia Electoral de Estados Unidos. Alrededor de 140 millones de ciudadanos votaron utilizando cualquier tipo de método, lo que significa que unos 33 millones emitieron su voto por correo. El año pasado, el presidente Donald Trump y su esposa Melania se registraron para votar utilizando la dirección de Mar-A-Lago, su propiedad en el condado de Palm Beach. Documentos electorales del condado muestran que una persona designada que vive en Palm Beach recogió las papeletas para Trump y la Primera Dama, previo a las primarias presidenciales del 17 de marzo. La ley de Florida permite que una persona designada busque las papeletas para otros dos votantes por cada elección. Los Trump pidieron las papeletas para las primarias de Florida del 18 de agosto, según documentos. Fueron devueltas a la oficina electoral este lunes, según reportó el diario Sun Sentinel. El voto por correo ha existido por décadas. Oregon fue el primer estado en utilizar la votación desde el hogar para todas las elecciones, cuando los votantes aprobaron una medida electoral en 1998, de acuerdo al Instituto Nacional del Voto en Casa. Incluso antes de la pandemia, un puñado de estados realizaron elecciones por correo, mientras que otros estados lo ofrecieron como una opción. El voto por correo se ha convertido en una opción mucho más popular este año debido a los esfuerzos de muchos votantes para evitar contagiarse del coronavirus. ➡️“Solo tenemos el 4% de la población mundial y 25% de los casos en el mundo”. –Expresidente Bill Clinton, 18 de agosto. Esta estadística es correcta. ![\\"El](\\" expresidente Bill Clinton durante la Convención Demócrata. AP La base de datos de Johns Hopkins sobre casos de COVID-19 mostraba unos 22 millones de contagios al 18 de agosto, incluyendo casi 5.5 millones de casos en Estados Unidos. Eso equivale a casi el 25% de los casos en el mundo. Estados Unidos representa el 4% de la población mundial. Como ya lo explicamos al verificar la afirmación falsa del presidente Trump de que “nuestros números son mejores que los de casi todos los países”, hay otras maneras de comparar los casos globales. Esas medidas incluyen la tasa de mortalidad por casos, la tasa de letalidad por cada 100,000 habitantes, los casos per-capita y la tasa de positivos. Medido contra el tamaño de la población, Estados Unidos tiene la décima tasa de mortalidad más alta en el mundo. Le ha ido mejor que al Reino Unido, España, Italia, Suecia y Chile, pero peor que Francia, Canadá y Alemania, por citar solo algunos ejemplos. Teniendo en cuenta el tamaño de la población, Estados Unidos tiene una de las tasas globales más alta de gente que ha resultado positiva: 16,430 por cada millón de habitantes, la cual es menor que la de Chile, pero más alta que la de cualquier otro país grande. Con una tasa de positivos cercana al 7%, Estados Unidos se sitúa en la mitad del grupo, lo que lo hace mejor que países como México y Argentina, pero peor que prácticamente todos los países europeos, así como Canadá y Australia. ➡️“Los estadounidenses más adinerados se hicieron 480,000 millones de dólares más ricos durante la pandemia” —Excandidata demócrata Hillary Clinton, 19 de agosto de 2020. Esto necesita contexto. Clinton sí tiene un punto. ![\\"La](\\" excandidata presidencial Hillary Clinton durante la Convención Demócrata. REUTERS En general, las personas más acaudaladas han estado protegidas de la pandemia en formas que la clase trabajadora no puede estarlo. Pero hay varios problemas con esta cifra. Al parecer, Clinton se refiere a un reporte conjunto de las entidades liberales, Americans for Tax Fairness (ATF) y el Programa para la Desigualdad del Instituto de Políticas Públicas, que monitorea la riqueza estimada de los multimillonarios en Estados Unidos. Diversos medios de comunicación reportaron en mayo los cálculos, 434,000 millones de dólares en ganancias entre mediados de marzo y la mitad de mayo. La estimación actual de ese grupo muestra ganancias que se dispararon hasta los 685,000 millones de dólares. Sin embargo, el valor de las acciones, que representa mucha de la riqueza de los multimillonarios, es volátil. Y al hacer estos cálculos, el tiempo importa. ![\\"\\"](\\" Analizamos los gestos de Barack y Michelle Obama en la Convención Demócrata 02:52 Contar los incrementos en las fortunas de los multimillonarios desde mediados de marzo, significó comenzar en el punto más bajo. Se dejó por fuera un fuerte descenso entre mediados de febrero y mediados de marzo, cuando aumentaba la preocupación sobre los posibles efectos del coronavirus en la economía. Este es un gráfico que muestra los precios de cierre de las acciones del Standard & Poors 500, un índice de mercado que se utiliza como referencia para calcular las acciones de los multimillonarios. La porción azul muestra el período previo a que el estudio comenzó a contar la riqueza de los billonarios. La parte roja muestra la porción incluida en el estudio. En otras palabras, si el estudio hubiese comenzado a contar un mes antes, las ganancias colectivas de los billonarios serían cercanas a cero. ➡️“Treinta millones de personas no tienen suficiente comida” –Senador Cory Booker, demócrata por Nueva Jersey, 20 de agosto de 2020. Cory Booker, dijo en la última noche de la convención que 30 millones de personas en Estados Unidos no tienen suficiente comida. ![\\"Cory](\\" Booker durante la Convención Nacional Demócrata. DNCC via Getty Images La cifra que ofreció Booker es casi exacta. Datos publicados por la Oficina del Censo a finales de julio señalan que 29.2 millones de personas, de 249 millones que respondieron a una encuesta, no tuvieron suficiente comida en algún momento de la semana previa al 21 de julio. De ese total, 14.6 millones de personas que no tienen suficiente comida viven en hogares donde hay niños. Estas son las cifras de insuficiencia alimentaria más altas en Estados Unidos desde que la Oficina del Censo comenzó a darle seguimiento a esta información, en mayo de 2020. ![\\"\\"](\\" Discurso de niño tartamudo que se identifica con Joe Biden conmueve en Convención Demócrata 06:36 De las 29 millones de personas que padecen insuficiencia alimentaria, 23.8 millones dijeron que “en algunas ocasiones” no tenían suficiente para comer, mientras que 5.4 millones respondieron que “frecuentemente” no tenían comida suficiente. A inicios de julio, se reportó, con base en datos del Censo, que alrededor de 14 millones de niños en Estados Unidos no tienen suficiente comida. ➡️“Los beneficiarios del Seguro Social cuentan con la oficina de correos para recibir sus cheques” –Eva Longoria Bastón (anfitriona de la Convención Demócrata), 17 de agosto de 2020. Eso es cierto para algunos beneficiarios, pero no para la mayoría. Consideramos su afirmación como una media verdad. ![\\"Eva](\\" Images Alrededor de medio millón de personas aún reciben sus cheques de papel en el correo. La gran mayoría –más de 63 millones– reciben sus pagos de forma electrónica. La transición a depósitos electrónicos, para disminuir el desperdicio de papel, comenzó hace más de 10 años, durante la Administración Obama. ➡️“Le pedí que manejara el Acta de Recuperación, la cual dio inicio al período más largo de crecimiento del empleo en la historia”. –Expresidente Barack Obama, 19 de agosto de 2020. Esto se puede verificar con los datos federales sobre empleo en el sector privado. ![\\"\\"](\\" Entre fuegos artificiales, así celebraron la nominación de Biden como candidato demócrata a la presidencia 02:44 La racha de aumento en empleos comenzó en octubre del 2010 y se mantuvo hasta febrero de 2020. El primer descenso en las cifras ocurrió en marzo del 2020, cuando la pandemia del coronavirus comenzó a golpear la economía. Obama firmó la Ley de Recuperación y Reinversión de Estados Unidos en febrero de 2009. El paquete de estímulo de casi 800,000 millones de dólares fue su primera acción importante para revivir la economía en medio de la Gran Recesión. El entonces presidente designó a Biden para supervisar la implementación del Acta. Los economistas, sin embargo, han enfatizado que las acciones presidenciales por sí solas no pueden empujar la economía. ➡️“Es inimaginable que Donald Trump esté tratando de eliminar esa atención médica. En medio de la pandemia, él está tratando de deshacerse de la Ley de Cuidado de Salud Asequible (Obamacare)”. –Narrador de un segmento sobre atención médica. Consideramos esta afirmación de Obama como cierta. Esta línea de ataque se refiere a Texas v. Azar, un caso judicial pendiente en la Corte Suprema, al cual la Administración Trump se unió a un grupo de gobernadores republicanos como parte de un esfuerzo por derogar la Ley de Cuidado de Salud Asequible (Obamacare), conocido como Obamacare. Esta es la ley de salud emblemática de Obama, que entró a regir en 2010 y extendió el acceso a la cobertura médica para millones de estadounidenses. Se estima que unos 27 millones de estadounidenses podrían terminar sin seguro durante la pandemia de COVID-19, debido a la pérdida de empleos y otros factores. No obstante, la Administración Trump continúa sus intentos por eliminar el Obamacare. ![\\"\\"](\\" Una familia indocumentada es el rostro de los inmigrantes en la tercera noche de la Convención Demócrata 01:27 En un video en la convención, Biden hablaba con una mujer que padece una fase avanzada de la enfermedad de Hodgkins, Laura Packard. Ella dijo: “Desde que fui diagnosticada, cada noche me iba a la cama preocupada sobre las noticias que recibiría por la mañana. Y aún hoy, ellos están tratando de quitarnos nuestra cobertura médica, incluso durante la pandemia”. Otra mujer dijo en un video sobre los seguros de salud que, “Yo escogí ser delegada de Joe Biden tras ver junto a mi nación cómo el presidente Donald Trump trata de desmantelar el (Obamacare)”. Lo cierto es que Trump prometió en su campaña presidencial de 2016 que iba a derogar el Obamacare y apoyó un esfuerzo legislativo que por poco no logró derogarla. Desde entonces, Trump ha seguido prometiendo una nueva ley de salud republicana, que reemplazaría Obamacare y protegería a las personas con condiciones preexistentes. Hasta la fecha, ha fracasado en sus intentos. ➡️\"Más de 10 millones de personas perderán su seguro médico este año”. –Joe Biden, candidato demócrata a la presidencia, 20 de agosto. Este número podría ser mayor. ![\\"Joe](\\" convencion-democrata.jpg?ramen_itok=iqwQftIcTf\\")Joe Biden, candidato demócrata a la presidencia, el 20 de agosto de 2020.AP / AP En un reporte de julio, el Urban Institute estimó que entre abril y diciembre de 2020, 10.1 millones de personas perderán su seguro médico asociado a los empleos que perdieron durante la pandemia. Pero ese número es menor que otra estimación, en este caso de la Kaiser Family Foundation, que estima que cerca de 27 millones de personas podrían perder el seguro médico patrocinado por su empleador y quedarse sin cobertura debido a la pandemia. ➡️ Hablando sobre las violentas protestas en Charlottesville, Virginia, en 2017: “Recuerden el violento enfrentamiento que siguió, entre quienes esparcían odio y aquellos con coraje para plantárseles. ¿Y recuerdan lo que dijo el presidente? Él dijo que habían ‘muy buenas personas en ambos lados’\". –Biden, candidato demócrata, 20 de agosto. ![\\"El](\\" exvicepresidente Joe Biden aparece en una pantalla frente al escenario vacío durante la Convención Nacional Demócrata virtual en Milwaukee, Wisconsin.REUTERS En una conferencia de prensa tras las protestas en Virginia de 2017, un reportero comenzó a decirle a Trump: “los neonazis comenzaron esto. Ellos llegaron a Charlottesville a protestar…”. Trump respondió: “Discúlpeme, discúlpeme. Ellos no se pusieron a sí mismos… y había gente muy mala en ese grupo, pero también había gente que era gente muy buena, en ambos lados. Había gente en ese grupo--discúlpeme, pero yo vi las mismas imágenes que usted.”. Sin embargo, Trump también dijo en la misma conferencia de prensa que los neonazis y los nacionalistas blancos deberían ser condenados. Trump dijo: “Sabes qué, está bien. Estás cambiando la historia, estás cambiando la cultura. Y hay gente –y aquí no estoy hablando de neonazis y nacionalistas blancos, porque ellos deberían ser condenados totalmente. Pero hay mucha gente en ese grupo, aparte de los neonazis y nacionalistas blancos. ¿Ok? Y la prensa los ha tratado con absoluta injusticia”. “Ahora, en el otro grupo también había gente buena. Pero también había gente problemática, y los ves venir vestidos de negro y con cascos y bates de béisbol. Había mucha gente mala en el otro grupo”.

Casado has used this statement on several occasions since The electoral pre-campaign began, but according to the data, it is FALSE.

Over the weekend, a certain European group showed the world which countries as Brazil and the United States are not alone in terms of their lack of awareness regarding Covid-19 pandemic. We wish we didn't have to report another big agglomeration in the context in which we live, but that was the fact. On Saturday (August 1, 2020), several Germans took to the streets to protest (guess what!) against the protective measures imposed by the chancellor Angela Merkel and other government officials in the country. The demonstration brought together groups anti-vaccine and neo-Nazis. They claim that Covid-19 would be a “grand theory of the conspiracy.” The protest slogan was the culmination of the protest. According to the organizers, the phrase “freedom day” was inspired by a 1935 film about the Nazi army. Of course, all the movement would be used to support new fake news. AND there was no other. In the last few hours, a story related to the demonstrations in Germany went viral on social media. According to publications, more than 1 million people would have taken to the streets, in Berlin (Germany), to fight against the “pandemic hoax”. According to the texts being shared, the Germans would be right to fight against estrangement and the mandatory use of a mask. Check it out: Version 1: _“The media tries to underestimate the number of protesters, but friends in Berlin tells me that 1 million people say “NO to quarantine”, masks and dictatorial restrictions of Covid-19.”_ Version 2:_“More than 1.2 million people in Berlin this August 1st, without social distance or the muzzle of the “New Abnormality”. An awakened people who demonstrate against the attempt to subdue him.”_ Version 3:_“Demonstration in Berlin 1.3 million against the PANDEMIC discretionary use of MASKS and SLAVERY. 1st world country.”_ ## More than 1 million people participated in a protest denouncing “pandemic fake” in Berlin? Given the situation we are facing, it is clear that the story went viral on social media. and served as a basis for people who already believed that pandemic would be a hoax. But does this story that more than 1 million of Germans participated in a protest in Berlin to denounce the “farce of “pandemic” is real? It is not! Let's get to the facts! Just take a look at the publications to see some mistakes. They are vague, alarmist in nature, have Portuguese errors and do not cite reliable sources. As we have shown previously, it is a fact that the protest took place on Saturday (day August 1, 2020), in Berlin, Germany. It is also a fact that the manifestation happened frivolously and was based on false premises (and also “inspired” by Nazi ideas). We won't dwell on this, but The recommendation of the World Health Organization (WHO) is that everyone use mask and practice social distancing. The new guidance from the highest body of health was released at the beginning of June 2020 and is based on studies scientific studies related to the subject. Regarding the Covid-19 pandemic being a farce, the numbers speak for themselves. There are already almost 700,000 deaths worldwide whole. Well, to clarify this story once and for all, we decided to look for more information in German newspapers. The newspaper Die Welt highlighted that, according to According to police estimates, around 17 thousand people participated in the demonstration and, later, around 20 thousand participated in a rally after the end of the protest. The newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ) highlighted that the Event organizers reported the number of participants several times in the protest. To applause, the organizers reported the presence of 1.3 million people at the demonstration. According to the Berlin police, this number it was much smaller, around 20 thousand people. In addition to the number of participants being wrong, some of the photos used in the Brazilian publications are also not part of the protest on August 1st, 2020. The photo that shows the protest on the street, surrounded by trees, in a wider angle, in fact, was recorded over the weekend. The photo shows several blank spaces in the manifestation. The image that shows the manifestation from a more closed angle, where you can observing bus stops and several people on the street, was also done in demonstration on August 1, 2020. In this image, you can also see blanks. The closed-angle photo shows hundreds of people holding signs It's not recent. She was recorded on June 6, 2020 at a protest anti-racism in Germany. Meanwhile, the photo that shows thousands of people on a bridge over a canal does not even show a demonstration, much less was it registered in Germany. The image, in reality, shows the “Street Parade” (a of the biggest electronic parties in the world), held annually in Zurich, in Switzerland. In short: the story that says that more than 1 million people participated in a protest against the “pandemic hoax” in Berlin (Germany) is fake! To the publications use photos that are not from the protest on August 1, 2020. One of them even shows an electronic music party in Zurich, in Switzerland. Furthermore, the number of protest participants was much lower as indicated by today's story. According to Berlin police and newspapers locals, around 17 thousand people participated in the protest and 20 thousand participated of a rally held after the demonstration. In other words, the story is nothing more than bullshit. Don't share! Ps.: This article is a suggestion from Boatos.org readers.

Several news websites have published articles reporting this information. They can be seen here and here.

(सोर्स: फ़ेसबुक/स्क्रीनशॉट) फैक्ट चैक ### निर्णय असत्य मूल क्लिप में असदुद्दीन ओवैसी को कहते हुए सुना जा सकता है कि नरेंद्र मोदी तीसरी बार देश के प्रधानमंत्री नहीं बनेंगे. दावा क्या है? जून 4, 2024 को घोषित होने वाले लोकसभा चुनाव के नतीजों से पहले, ऑल इंडिया मजलिस-ए-इत्तेहादुल मुस्लिमीन (एआईएमआईएम) के प्रमुख असदुद्दीन ओवैसी का एक वीडियो सोशल मीडिया पर शेयर किया जा रहा है, जिसमें दावा किया गया है कि उन्होंने उम्मीद जताई है कि नरेंद्र मोदी तीसरी बार देश के प्रधानमंत्री बनेंगे. वीडियो में ओवैसी कहते हुए सुनाई दे रहे हैं, \"हमें नहीं मालूम. देश की जनता तय करेगी न. हम तो उम्मीद कर रहे हैं कि तीसरी मर्तबा देश के प्रधानमंत्री नरेंद्र मोदी बनें. उसी के लिए हमारी कोशिश है.\" यह वीडियो फ़ेसबुक, इंस्टाग्राम और यूट्यूब पर शेयर किया जा रहा है. वायरल पोस्ट का स्क्रीनशॉट. (सोर्स: फ़ेसबुक/स्क्रीनशॉट) हालांकि, इस वीडियो को एडिट किया गया है; मूल क्लिप में असदुद्दीन ओवैसी ने कहा था कि नरेंद्र मोदी तीसरी बार देश के प्रधानमंत्री “नहीं” बनेंगे. हमने सच का पता कैसे लगाया? हमने संबंधित कीवर्ड्स के ज़रिये खोजबीन की, तो हमें मई 25, 2024 को एएनआई हिंदी न्यूज़ के एक्स (पूर्व में ट्विटर) पर पोस्ट किया गया असदुद्दीन ओवैसी का एक समान वीडियो (आर्काइव यहां) मिला. इस वीडियो के कैप्शन में ओवैसी के बयान को कोट करते हुए लिखा गया है, \"पटना, बिहार: AIMIM प्रमुख असदुद्दीन ओवैसी ने कहा, \"...हमें उम्मीद है कि प्रधानमंत्री नरेंद्र मोदी तीसरी बार प्रधानमंत्री नहीं बनेंगे...\" वीडियो में, ओवैसी को कहते हुए सुना जा सकता है, \"हमें नहीं मालूम. देश की जनता तय करेगी न. हम तो उम्मीद कर रहे हैं कि तीसरी मर्तबा देश के प्रधानमंत्री नरेंद्र मोदी न बनें. उसी के लिए हमारी कोशिश है. यह देश तय करेगा.\" ओवैसी के इसी बयान का एक वीडियो न्यूज़ 24 (आर्काइव यहां) और ज़ी बिज़नेस (आर्काइव यहां) के मई 25 के एक्स-पोस्ट में भी शेयर किया गया है, जिसमें उन्हें साफ़ तौर पर यह कहते सुना जा सकता है कि नरेंद्र मोदी तीसरी बार देश के प्रधानमंत्री नहीं बनेंगे. ओवैसी का दूसरे एंगल से लिया गया वीडियो अमर उजाला के यूट्यूब चैनल (आर्काइव यहां) पर मौजूद है, जहां उन्हें यही बात कहते हुए सुना जा सकता है. स्पष्ट है कि वायरल वीडियो में \'न\' शब्द हटा दिया गया है, जिससे उनके बयान का अर्थ पूरी तरह से बदल जाता है. गौरतलब है कि एआईएमआईएम प्रमुख ओवैसी 25 मई 2024 को लोकसभा चुनाव के छठे चरण के प्रचार को लेकर बिहार के पटना पहुंचे थे. इस दौरान एयरपोर्ट के बाहर पत्रकारों से बातचीत करते हुए उन्होंने उक्त बातें कहीं. निर्णय हमारी अब तक की जांच से साफ़ हो जाता है कि वायरल हो रहा वीडियो एडिटेड है और मूल वीडियो में असदुद्दीन ओवैसी ने कहा था कि नरेंद्र मोदी तीसरी बार देश के प्रधानमंत्री न बनें. इसलिए, हम वायरल वीडियो के दावे को ग़लत मानते हैं. ### रेफ़रेंस लिंक ![\\"icon\\"](\\" ##### एएनआई हिंदी न्यूज़ Refutes ![\\"icon\\"](\\" ##### न्यूज़24 Refutes ![\\"icon\\"](\\" ##### ज़ी बिज़नेस Refutes ![\\"icon\\"](\\" ##### अमर उजाला बिहार Refutes ![\\"icon\\"](\\" in-patna-asaduddin-owaisi-visit-bihar-and-targeted-pm-narendra- modi-2024-election-lok-sabha-2024-05-25\\") ##### Owaisi in Patna: पीएम मोदी के पीछे असद्दुदीन ओवैसी बिहार पहुंचे, कहा- तीसरी मर्तबा उन्हें पीएम बनने से रोकेंगे - अमर उजाला Refutes ### क्या आप फ़ैक्ट-चेक के लिए कोई दावा प्रस्तुत करना चाहेंगे या हमारी संपादकीय टीम से संपर्क करना चाहेंगे? यह किस बारे में है? मैं एक फैक्ट चेक पर आपत्ति दर्ज करना चाहूंगा मैं एक फैक्ट चेक का आग्रह करना चाहूंगा मैं संपादकीय टीम से संपर्क करना चाहूंगा ### सब्सक्राइब लॉजिकली फैक्ट्स से प्राप्त करें सारे लेटेस्ट [Hidden Field] Form Group 0 ग्लोबल फैक्ट चेक पूरा हुआ ### सब्सक्राइब लॉजिकली फैक्ट्स से प्राप्त करें सारे लेटेस्ट [Hidden Field] Form Group #### हमारे जीवन पर असर डालने वाले फैसलों के लिए हम सूचना पर भरोसा करते हैं, लेकिन इंटरनेट के जरिए ग़लत सूचनाएं इतनी तेजी से लोगों तक पहुंचाई जा रही है जैसा पहले कभी नहीं हुआ था. ![\\"logically](\\"/images/logically-large-partial.webp\\"/) लॉजिकली फैक्ट्स का मिशन नुकसान पहुंचा रही ग़लत और भ्रामक सूचनाओं के प्रसार को कम करना है. ![\\"facebook](\\"/images/social-media/facebook_new.webp\\"/) ![\\"twitter](\\"/images/social-media/x.webp\\"/) ![\\"linkedin](\\"/images/social-media/linkedin_new.webp\\"/) ![\\"instagram](\\"/images/social-media/instagram_new.webp\\"/) ![\\"tiktok](\\"/images/social-media/tiktok_new.webp\\"/) ![\\"youtube](\\"/images/social-media/yt2.webp\\"/) ![\\"ifcn](\\"/images/ifcn-logically-white.webp\\"/) मेंबर ऑफ़ ![\\"Misinformation](\\"/images/logo-lockup@2x.webp\\"/) ![\\"european](\\"/images/edmo-logo-inverted-rgb.webp\\"/) #### विषय * जलवायु * षडयंत्र * अर्थशास्त्र * इवेंट्स * भू-राजनीतिक * स्वास्थ्य * मानवाधिकार * मीडिया * राजनीति * टेक #### लॉजिकली फैक्ट्स * होम * हमारे बारे में * संपर्क करें कॉपीराइट © 2024 लॉजिकली फैक्ट्स लिमिटेड * गोपनीयता की नीति ![\\"cookie\\"](\\"/images/cookie.png\\"/) We use cookies on this site to enhance your user experience.

Bu kapsamda geçtiğimiz 15 Şubat akşamı da deprem bölgesine yardım toplamak amacıyla pek çok televizyon ve radyo kanalının ortak yayınıyla ‘Türkiye Tek Yürek’ kampanyası düzenlendi. Düzenlenen kampanyaya birçok ünlü ismin yanı sıra iş insanları, siyasetçiler ve vatandaşlar da destek verdi. Gecenin sonunda ise 115 milyar 146 milyon 528 bin lira toplandı. Yayına diyanet işleri başkanı Prof. Dr. Ali Erbaş da katıldı. Sosyal medyada Erbaş’ın şahsi olarak 310 milyon lira bağışladığı iddia edildi. ## Kanıt 15 Şubat akşamı düzenlenen yardım kampanyası yayının ilgili kısmını incelediğimizde Diyanet İşleri Başkanı Ali Erbaş’ın bağış konuşmasında ekrana gelen altyazının yanlış anlamaya neden olduğu görülüyor. Ali Erbaş geçen hafta camilerde başlatılan yardım kampanyası kapsamında toplanan 310 milyon lirayı AFAD’a aktarılacağından bahsetmiş. Erbaş, konuşmasının devamında ise 3 aylık maaşını deprem bölgesi için bağışladığını açıklıyor. Video oynatıcı 00:00 00:00 00:00 Yukarı/aşağı tuşları ile sesi artırın ya da azaltın.

To win, all you have to do is go to a website and share a link with friends on WhatsApp. Less than five days ago, Boatos.org debunked a false story that pointed out that Gol would be giving airline tickets for Black Friday to people who went to a website and shared a link with friends on WhatsApp. Today, a similar story, so to speak, began to circulate around there. The new message that is emerging on social networks points out that it would now be the Azul that would be giving free air tickets to people who enter on a website, answer some questions, participate in a kind of “box game” and, at the end, share a link with friends on WhatsApp. Read the text contained on the website (in the version we saw it was the “voeazul.net” page): Black Friday Azul Linhas Aéreas! We are raffling off national and free international programs for the first participants in our research. Answer our questionnaire and redeem your ticket Remaining tickets for Federal District: 134 Question 1 of 4: Have you ever traveled with Azul? Yes No Question 2 of 4: How much age? 18-29 30-39 40-49 50+ Question 3 of 4: What do you think of the company’s services? Blue? Very good Excellent Fair Dislike Question 4 of 4: Do you Would you recommend Azul to your friends/family? Yes No Congratulations! You won Two National Travel Tickets! ***THE RULES*** 1. You must share the promotion with 10 friends. 2. Enter your address and complete registration. OK ## Azul gives free plane tickets on WhatsApp because of Black Friday? It didn't take long for the message to spread with all its might. However, as in other cases, it is not true that Azul is giving the such airline tickets for anyone who enters a website and shares a link with friends on WhatsApp. In reality, the analysis of the promotion of “Azul tickets” is the same as analysis in relation to Gol tickets. In both cases, even if you follow all the steps described on the website (answer the questions, participate in the box and share the link on WhatsApp), in the end nothing happens. In fact, there are things that can happen. They are, in accordance with our surveys, three paths. 1) You are directed to a very heavy website that It will make your cell phone or computer crash. 2) You are directed to a website through online advertising (which makes scammers profit). 3) You are directed to another fake promotions website. In neither case do you have access to such award airline tickets. Black Friday. It is important to mention that this is not the first time that Boatos.org denies a rumor of this nature using the company's name. In 2018, we debunked a similar rumor (all that was left to do was mention Black Friday). Check out videos who talk about this type of fake: Both in 2018 and today, we searched Azul’s official social networks to learn more about the story. As expected, we found nothing to respect for such distributions of free tickets for those who share a link. In short: the story that suggests that Azul is giving tickets is false free flights for people who enter a website and leave sharing a link with friends on zapzap. It is a new version of a very similar rumor debunked a few days ago. Ps.: This article is a suggestion from Boatos.org readers.

That didn’t happen, but the Trump administration did reallocate some money and temporarily suspended other funding. * The president used the wrong statistics when saying that “nothing has changed” regarding “children” trying to enter the U.S. at the southern border. There was a significant 63% uptick in unaccompanied children being apprehended from January to February. * Biden said, “We’re sending back the vast majority of the families that are coming.” But in February, 41% of those in a family unit apprehended at the southern border were expelled. * The president said “over 50%” of Republican voters supported the American Rescue Plan Act. Some polls show that but others show a majority opposed the COVID-19 relief legislation. * He repeated two familiar talking points on taxes, including the misleading claim that “83%” of the benefits in the GOP’s Tax Cuts and Jobs Act are “going to the top 1%.” That only becomes the case in 2027 when most of the individual income tax cuts are set to expire but corporate tax cuts remain. * Biden got it wrong when he said there were five times as many cloture motions “last year alone” than there were “between 1917 and 1971.” There were twice as many motions filed last year than there were from 1917 through 1970. Biden took questions from reporters on March 25. ## Aid to Central America Biden falsely claimed that his predecessor “eliminated” and “didn’t use” more than $700 million in funding to address migration from Central American countries that Biden helped secure when he was vice president. “They’re coming because of the circumstances in country, in country,” Biden said of the thousands of people who are illegally entering the U.S. through Mexico. “The way to deal with this problem, and I started to deal with it back when I was … vice president, putting together a bipartisan plan of over $700 million to do the root causes of why people are leaving. What did Trump do? He eliminated that funding. He didn’t use it. He didn’t do it.” Biden appeared to be referring to funding for the “U.S. Strategy for Engagement in Central America,” which was as high as $750 million during the Obama administration in fiscal year 2016. It’s true that the annual budget for that initiative declined significantly during Trump’s presidency, but it wasn’t completely “eliminated” or unspent, as Biden said. According to the Congressional Research Service, the nonpartisan research arm of Congress, appropriations for the program declined to $685 million in FY 2017, $615 million in FY 2018, $528 million in FY 2019, $533 million in FY 2020 and $506 million in FY 2021. Biden may have been referencing money that Congress authorized for use in Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador that the Trump administration either reallocated to other initiatives or temporarily suspended in 2019. As a January CRS report said: “From FY2016 to FY2020, Congress appropriated more than $3.1 billion to improve security, governance, and socioeconomic conditions in Central America as part of a whole-of-government initiative to address the drivers of irregular migration. However, in March 2019 — less than two years into the initiative’s on-the-ground implementation — the Trump Administration suspended most foreign aid to El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras. The Administration proceeded to reprogram approximately $396 million of aid appropriated for the Northern Triangle countries in FY2018, reallocating the funds to other foreign policy priorities within, and outside of, the Latin American and Caribbean region.” The report indicated that the Trump administration “withheld most of the assistance Congress appropriated for Central America in FY2019 while it negotiated a series of agreements intended to stem the flow of migrants and asylum-seekers from the Northern Triangle to the United States.” As a result, the report said, the State Department and the U.S. Agency for International Development were forced to close down or cancel some projects and planned activities. But CRS also said that — amid criticism from members of Congress who argued the funding freeze was counterproductive — aid to the Northern Triangle countries that was previously held back began to be released late in 2019, and “all of the previously suspended assistance for the region” had been “programmed” by June 2020. ## Immigration: Unaccompanied Children Biden used the wrong statistics when saying that “nothing has changed” regarding “children” trying to enter the U.S. at the southern border. To be sure, there have been spikes before in unaccompanied children arriving at the border, but the uptick in Biden’s first full month in office was significant. > Biden: Truth of the matter is nothing has changed. As many people came, 28% > increase in children to the border in my administration. 31% in the last > year of – in 2019, before the pandemic, in the Trump administration. It > happens every single solitary year. There is a significant increase in the > number of people coming to the border in the winter months of January, > February, March. Biden’s figures don’t pertain to an “increase in children to the border,” as he said. Instead, they pertain to the total number of apprehensions at the border — including single adults and family units. Those figures were cited in a Washington Post opinion piece by immigration experts who, similar to the president, said the rise in total apprehensions reflected “a pattern of seasonal changes,” in which immigrant apprehensions increase in the cooler months of the year. We get slightly different figures using Customs and Border Protection data. There was a 29% increase in total apprehensions from January to February, when the level reached 96,974. In 2019, the January-to-February bump was 39%. As we’ve written, the recent increase in border apprehensions did begin prior to the election under then-President Donald Trump. But the spike in unaccompanied children in the first full month of Biden’s administration is noteworthy — and, with a backlog of processing those children out of border custody facilities, it’s the main aspect of border immigration that has garnered media and political attention. The number of unaccompanied children being apprehended at the border also began rising in October, before the election, but it spiked 63% from January to February, reaching 9,297 kids. The Washington Post opinion piece noted that the apprehensions of unaccompanied children “appears to be more than just a seasonal pattern.” CBP data show the fiscal year 2021 numbers of unaccompanied children apprehended are on track to rival or surpass a spike that occurred in 2019. ## Immigration: Families The president went on to say the “vast majority, the overwhelming majority of people coming to the border and crossing are being sent back,” mentioning “single people.” That’s correct. But then he added, “We’re sending back the vast majority of the families that are coming.” That’s not the case for the month of February, the most recent data from CBP. The administration expelled 41% of family units in February. (See the figures for Title 42 expulsions.) Single adults, who make up the vast majority of those apprehended on the border, have been largely expelled under Title 42, a public health law. We asked the White House about Biden’s claim, but we haven’t received a response. ## Polling on American Rescue Plan Act When told Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said Biden has gone too far left, the president responded by saying “over 50%” of Republican voters supported the American Rescue Plan Act. But public polling offers a more mixed reaction among Republicans to the new law than the president lets on. > Biden: I would like Republican, elected Republican support, but what I know > I have now is, I have electoral support from Republican voters. Republican > voters agree with what I’m doing. And so unless Mitch says the last thing I > did, the last piece of legislation I did was so far left, well, then he > ought to take a look at his party. Over 50% of them must be over that edge, > as well because they support what I did. This has become a talking point for the president. He stated something similar on March 19, when he said “we didn’t get any help in the Senate or the House, but you have 55% of the Republicans in America supporting it,” referring to the COVID-19 relief bill. For sure, there are polls that show more than 50% of Republicans supported the bill earlier this month when it was before Congress. A Morning Consult/Politico poll conducted from March 6 to March 8 found 59% of Republicans surveyed said they “strongly support” (29%) or “somewhat support” (30%) the COVID-19 aid package. Similarly, a Data for Progress poll conducted from March 5 to 7 found 54% of Republicans supported the bill. However, other polls found Republican support below 50% — not “over 50%,” as Biden said. A CNN poll from March 3 to 8 found only 26% of Republicans supported the bill (see Table 031). A Pew Research Center survey from March 1 to 7 found that 41% of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents said they supported the bill. That poll showed a pronounced partisan divide in particular on the cost of the legislation — which was the primary reason for Republican opposition in Congress. Sixty-one percent of Republicans told Pew that the $1.9 trillion bill, which Biden signed into law on March 11, spends too much. Lastly, we found a CBS News/YouGov poll taken from March 9 to 10 found 46% of Republicans supported the American Rescue Plan Act. “Among Republicans, there is more support for it among those with lower household incomes than among those with higher incomes,” CBS News wrote. ## Taxes Comparing his tax priorities to those of Republicans, Biden revived two talking points from the campaign: the misleading claim that 83% of the tax cuts in the Republican tax law championed by Trump went to the top 1%; and the false claim that middle-income families pay a higher tax rate than “the average person making $1 billion a year.” Biden said he found it “kind of interesting that my Republican friends were worried” about “the cost” of tax cuts and relief checks in the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan Act. The law, he said, “puts money in people’s pockets. Ordinary people.” The law provides an average tax cut to middle-income earners of $3,720 this year, according to an analysis by the Tax Policy Center. The law also includes stimulus payments for most Americans, and extends unemployment compensation. Biden said he didn’t remember hearing Republicans express similar concerns about the cost of the Republican-backed Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which is projected to add nearly $2 trillion to the deficit over 10 years, according to the Congressional Budget Office. “Did you hear them complain when they passed a close to $2 trillion Trump tax cut, 83% going to the top 1%?” Biden said. This is a well-worn but misleading claim. As we have written, in order for the legislation to be passed via reconciliation, most of the individual income tax provisions are set to expire by 2027, while the corporate tax cuts would remain, making the tax benefit distribution more lopsided for the top 1% than in earlier years. So, while the top 1% got 20.5% of the total tax benefits in 2018, and 25.3% of the tax benefits in 2025, the share of the total tax savings that accrues to the top 1% in 2027 is 82.8%, according to an analysis by the Tax Policy Center. Republicans say they expect a future Congress will extend the individual tax cuts, rather than allowing taxes for many to increase, but of course there is no assurance that will happen. Biden went on to claim Republicans “reduc[ed] taxes to a point that people who are making, you know if you are a husband and wife, school teacher and a cop, you’re paying at a higher rate than the average person making $1 billion a year is. Something’s wrong.” Actually, that claim is wrong. It is another version of a claim Biden made during the campaign, that the top 1% of taxpayers, on average, pay a lower effective tax rate than middle-income people. In general, people in higher-income categories pay a higher tax rate. According to an analysis by the Tax Policy Center, the top 0.1% — those making over $3,452,300 a year — paid an average federal tax rate of 31.3% in 2019. That’s a higher rate than any other income category below it. By comparison, for example, those in the middle 20% of earners — with an expanded cash income of $50,001 to $87,300 — paid an average federal tax rate of 12.4%, according to the TPC analysis. The Tax Policy Center did not break down its analysis for billionaires, but they would obviously be a fraction of those in the top 0.1%. “On average the top 0.1 percent of income pays more,” Howard Gleckman, a senior fellow at the Tax Policy Center, told us via email. “Are there outliers? Sure. But would be very rare.” As Gleckman told us back in 2019, “You can invest all your money in tax-exempt bonds and pay no federal income tax on the interest. Investors can avoid paying tax on capital gains by simply not selling the assets (but they’d also have no income). But in general, the federal tax system is very progressive. The more you make, the more you pay.” William McBride, vice president of federal tax and economic policy at the Tax Foundation, told us Biden may be referring to an analysis by economists Emmanuel Saez and Gabriel Zucman of the University of California at Berkeley that concluded the average effective tax rate (for federal, state and local taxes) paid by the richest 400 families in the U.S. was 23%, slightly lower than the 24.2% rate paid by the bottom half of American households. McBride notes, however, that the Saez/Zucman data “excludes refundable tax credits so that the tax burden is overstated at the lower end of the income spectrum. When they are included, average effective tax rates for federal taxes go from 3.3% for the lowest quintile up to 30.3% for the top 0.1% (about 120,000 households).” McBride said the Saez/Zucman estimates for the top 400 households “rely on their assumptions about returns imputed from underlying wealth and income shares, which have been challenged by other economists like Gerald Auten and David Splinter. They find that the top 0.01 percent (a bit more than the top 400) paid an average combined tax rate of nearly 50 percent in 2018.” In a post challenging some of the methodology of the Saez/Zucman report, Gleckman of the Tax Policy Center said that while it is true that the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act “cut the taxes of high earners by more on average than for low- and moderate-income households, as a share of after-tax income,” that doesn’t mean, as a Washington Post headline put it, that “billionaires paid a lower tax rate than the working class.” ## Cloture Motions Even though he pulled a card out of his pocket to read aloud statistics on the rise in cloture motions, Biden got the numbers wrong. > Biden: That it used to be that from between 1917 and 1971, the filibuster > existed, there were a total of 58 motions to break a filibuster, that whole > time. Last year alone, there were five times that many. So it’s being abused > in a gigantic way. Cloture motions are filed to set a time limit on debate and bring a bill to the floor for a vote. The motion must receive 60 votes to pass — not a simple majority. The Senate website lists all cloture motions since 1917, when the Senate first adopted the cloture rule. We counted a total of 58 from 1917 through 1970, the figure Biden cited. But last year alone there were 118 — which is more than double 58, not five times greater. It appears that the president meant to say in the last Congress — not “last year alone.” In 2019 and 2020, which was the 116th Congress, there were 328 cloture motions filed — which is more than five times the motions filed from 1917 through 1970. But cloture motions aren’t necessarily filed “to break a filibuster,” as Biden said. That used to be the primary use, but not in modern times — a fact noted in a Congressional Research Service report on filibusters and cloture motions. “In recent times, by contrast, Senate leadership has increasingly made use of cloture as a normal tool for managing the flow of business on the floor, even when no evident filibuster has yet occurred,” the CRS report said. “It would be erroneous to assume the presence or absence of cloture attempts is a reliable guide to the presence or absence of filibusters.” Also, both parties are responsible for the escalating use of cloture motions. There were 504 filed in six years (2009-2014) when the Democrats were in control, and 657 in six years (2015-2020) when the Republicans were in charge.

DATA ROUNDUP English, Fact Check, Fake News # RBI didn’t release a circular granting 5-day working week for banks 0 By Akhil Reddy on June 6, 2019 * A A A Twitter Facebook Reddit Many Posts, with a description: ‘Bank will be remained closed on every Saturday’, are being shared again on Facebook but this time with an image of RBI circular. So, let’s try to check the authenticity of the image in the post and whether banks will have Saturday off every week. ![\\"\\"](\\" RTGS-version-FB-Post.jpg\\")The archived version of the post can be found here. > Claim: RBI issued a circular approving 5 days working for banks. > > Fact: The image in the post shows an RBI circular on RTGS.

Hence the > claim made in the post is FALSE. When searched on Google with the title of the circular in the image, the circular can be found in the ‘Notifications’ section on the RBI website. So, the circular in the post is authentic but is not related to 5 days work week for banks. The circular is about extension of timings for customer transactions related to RTGS (Real Time Gross Settlement). Similar fake news (without any circular/notice) was condemned by the RBI in a press release in April, 2019. Also, FACTLY has already written a fact-check article on this issue when it went viral a month back. ![\\"\\"](\\" RTGS-version-RBI-Press-Release-1024x679.jpg\\") To sum it up, RBI didn’t release a circular granting 5-day work week for banks.

The post was flagged as part of Facebook’s efforts to combat false news and misinformation on its News Feed. (Read more about our partnership with Facebook.) The post, taken literally, makes no sense, said James A. Gardner, an election law expert at the University at Buffalo School of Law. \"If the Electoral College were abolished, presumably the president would be elected by nationwide majority vote,\" Gardner said. In such a system, all groups of people \"would have precisely identical influence on the outcome of the election since every vote would count equally in the final tally,\" he said. A voter in Los Angeles County would have exactly the same input into the presidential election as would a voter in rural Wyoming if a national popular vote were used to elect the president, said Robert Speel, a political science associate professor at Penn State Erie, The Behrend College. Background on the Electoral College process Voters on Election Day choose who they want as president, yet the final vote comes later through the Electoral College, which consists of 538 electors. (The candidate who reaches 270 Electoral College votes wins.) The number of electors a state gets equals the combined number of members a state has in the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate. Each state has two senators, and the number of representatives for each state varies depending on the state’s population. States with more people have more representatives. (Though not a state, the District of Columbia is allocated three electors due to a constitutional amendment. U.S. territories, like Puerto Rico, do not get electors and cannot vote in the general election.) Eliminating the Electoral College (and not creating a new system in its place) would mean that the president is elected based on the popular vote -- that is, who gets the most votes on Election Day. Supporters of the Electoral College argue that keeping it requires candidates to get votes from all parts of the country, including less populated areas. Opponents say that it actually makes candidates focus only on swing states -- states where the margin is close enough that either party has a chance of winning. #### Featured Fact-check ![](\\" ![](\\" Social Media stated on August 19, 2024 in in social media posts Videos show Kamala Harris intoxicated. ![\\"true\\"](\\" false/33efdb6633e5e2fdc2d4e2f63383a1e0.jpg.\\") ![\\"false\\"](\\" false.jpg\\") By Jeff Cercone • August 22, 2024 Population of Los Angeles County and 43 states The Facebook post appears to suggest that since Los Angeles County has a lot of people — an estimated 10.1 million as of July 2019 — it will outweigh the voice of 43 other states. The post doesn’t specify which states, nor does it make clear if it means the county will be stronger than the 43 states combined or compared to each. U.S. Census Bureau population estimates show that 41 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico each had fewer people than did Los Angeles County. (Perhaps whoever created the Facebook post added the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico to arrive at \"43 states.\") One way to read the post is to say that Los Angeles County’s influence under a direct popular vote would outweigh the combination of all 43 states. But that’s wrong. The 43 states’ collective population — about 163.7 million — is about 16 times that of Los Angeles County. In a direct popular vote system, candidates might adjust their campaign strategy to appear in major media markets like Los Angeles, because that would be the most efficient use of campaign resources. \"So maybe the author is trying inartfully to say this,\" Gardner said of the Facebook post. But it’s uncertain whether candidates would even make that change. It could also be that candidates avoid places like Los Angeles because they are reliably Democratic and focus instead on winning swing regions, Gardner said. Under the Electoral College system, candidates spend almost all of their general election campaign time in urban and suburban areas in 10 to 12 battleground states, Speel said. In a popular vote system, they would likely stick to those regions but in a greater variety of states, he said. \"Presidential candidates are not going to campaign for the general election in rural areas no matter what system is used, simply because there aren\'t enough votes there,\" Speel said. Our ruling A Facebook post said, \"Abolishing the Electoral College would make Los Angeles County stronger than 43 states.\" With a popular vote system in place of the Electoral College, experts said every individual voter will have the same power. A change from one system to another could alter campaigning practices, but that doesn’t necessarily mean one vote in an urban area counts more than one vote in a rural area.

A Feb. 4 Facebook post adds to the noise, promoting via video the idea that hormones are the primary driver of weight gain in women. “Most women are told to exercise to get rid of weight,” the post reads. “This is often bad advice. Exercise plays only a tiny percentage of our daily calorie burn. Hormones are the true culprits behind weight gain.\" The post claims \"most women constantly fight against their Hormones,\" causing their \"metabolism come to a standstill.” The video has been viewed more than 600,000 times in two months. Follow us on Facebook! Like our page to get updates throughout the day on our latest debunks But the post’s core claim – that hormones are the “true culprits” behind weight gain – isn’t true. Multiple factors can contribute to weight gain, and while there is an ongoing debate about the role that hormones play, experts agree lifestyle is the key factor. USA TODAY reached out to the Facebook user who shared the claim for comment. ## Diet, exercise primary contributors to weight Calling hormones the “true culprit” behind women’s weight gain isn’t correct, according to Susan Davis, a professor of Chronic Disease & Aging at Monash University in Australia. If they were, Davis said, “everyone would be fat.” Instead, she said diet is the primary culprit. According to the National Institutes of Health, people gain weight when they take in more calories than they burn, and this imbalance is “the greatest contributor to weight gain.” Davis added that diet is a crucial part of weight loss, as exercise alone doesn’t always burn calories at the rate some might expect. “Twenty minutes of exercise is a glass of orange juice and three hours of exercise is a Big Mac,” Davis said. “And most people who eat a Big Mac don\'t go out and do three hours of sustained exercise to follow that.” That isn’t to say exercise is ineffective. According to the Department of Health and Human Services, physical activity is “one of the most important things” a person can do to improve their health. Regular physical activity is also associated with reduced weight gain and weight loss – especially “when combined with reduced calorie intake.\" Fact check roundup:What\'s true and what\'s false about the Russian invasion of Ukraine Davis recommends those who try to lose weight do so slowly. For example, she said someone can think of one thing they eat on most days, and then cut that out of their diet. ## Hormones incidental in weight gain According to Johns Hopkins Medicine, hormones can control everything from metabolism and energy levels to growth and development. Hormones play a role in weight, experts told USA TODAY – but they are not the primary driver of weight gain, as the post claims. Dr. Artur Viana, clinical director of the Metabolic Health & Weight Loss Program at Yale University, said that while hormones are involved in obesity, they are not the sole cause. Robert Lustig, professor emeritus of pediatrics at the University of California-San Francisco, told USA TODAY there’s an ongoing debate in the nutrition field over the extent to which hormones contribute to obesity. “Is obesity a problem of energy balance, or is obesity a problem of energy storage?” he said. “If it’s a problem of energy balance, it’s all about calories. If it’s about energy storage, then the question is: What’s storing it? And the answer is one of two hormones: insulin and cortisol.” For example, when blood sugar rises, the hormone insulin goes up, allowing sugar to exit the blood and enter cells where it is needed. But when cells receive more sugar than they need, fat begins to accumulate. However, insulin itself doesn\'t cause weight gain. Lustig\'s recommendation for people looking to lose weight is simple: Stop eating sugar. “That’s numbers one, two and three,” he said. “Get rid of the sugar, get rid of the sugar, get rid of the sugar.” ## Hormones and women’s weight Since hormones regularly fluctuate in women – and since those fluctuations can cause a variety of symptoms – Davis said that hormones are often implicated when other health problems arise, sometimes without justification. Some hormone-related disorders can cause weight changes. Hyperthyroidism, for example, occurs when the thyroid gland produces too much of the hormone thyroxine, according to the Mayo Clinic. That can result in weight loss or gain. But that doesn\'t establish hormones as a driving factor for all weight gain. Fact check:False claim that Chris Rock apologized to Will Smith after Oscars slap Pregnant women also gain weight in part due to the release of hormones that encourage fat deposits, Davis said. But she said pregnancy is not a woman’s general state, and therefore the “rich hormonal milieu” of pregnancy can’t be implicated in all weight gain, either. ## Our rating: False Based on our research, we rate FALSE the claim that hormones are the “true culprits” behind weight gain in women. While certain conditions involving hormones can affect a woman’s weight, those conditions aren\'t responsible for weight gain in all women. And though there is an ongoing debate over the role hormones play in obesity, experts agree that lifestyle, especially diet, is the main factor affecting weight. ## Our fact-check sources: * USA TODAY, July 16, 2021, Does coffee help you lose weight?

Here is a fact > check of these claims._ [orc] In an infographic uploaded on the 48 months website, the government made claims about India’s global standing in terms of FDI inflows. Here is a fact check of these claims. ![\\"India’s](\\" standing-in-FDI_infographic-1.png\\") What is Foreign Direct Investment (FDI)? As per the International Monetary Fund (IMF), FDI refers to an investment made to acquire lasting interest in enterprises operating outside of the economy of the investor. Greenfield FDI is foreign investment in new assets/projects than acquisition of existing assets. Is India the number one in the world for attracting Greenfield FDI? The first claim is that India is the world number one in attracting Greenfield FDI. Greenfield FDI is foreign investment in new assets/projects than acquisition of existing assets. This claim has been made on the basis of the report by fDi Intelligence which is, according to the same report, the most comprehensive service tracking cross border Greenfield investment across all countries and sectors worldwide. According to the fDi report 2017, ‘For the second year running, India was the highest ranked country by capital investment, with $62bn-worth of FDI projects announced in 2016. India retained its top spot for FDI by capital investment following an increase in investment of 2% to $62.3bn.’ However, as per the fDi report 2018, ‘In 2017, India was replaced by the US as the highest ranked country for FDI by capital investment, with $87.4bn recorded, boosted by major announcements from Foxconn and Saudi Basic Industries to invest billions in single plants.’ > Claim: India is the world number one in attracting Greenfield FDI. > > Fact: As per the fDi intelligence, India was the highest ranked country in > attracting Greenfield FDI in 2015 & 2016\. However, in 2017, India was > replaced by USA for the top spot. Hence the claim is only PARTLY TRUE. What is India’s ranking on FDI inflows? The second claim is that India is ranked 9th on the foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows in 2016 as per the World Investment Report 2017, published by the UNCTAD. The United Nations Conference on Trade & Development (UNCTAD), a division of the UN, tracks FDI investments across economies. The Division on Investment and Enterprise of UNCTAD serves as the focal point for all matters related to FDI and multinational enterprises in the United Nations System. The World Investment Report 2017 shows that India is indeed ranked 9th in the list for the year 2016. As per the FDI figures compiled by UNCTAD, FDI in India has been increasing over the years. The greatest increase in FDI inflows was witnessed between 2005-2008, before the global financial crisis. From $ 7.6 billion in 2005, the FDI inflows to India increased more than 6 times to $ 47.1 billion in 2008. The FDI inflows in 2008 is highest ever for India. The inflows almost halved by 2012 when the FDI inflows was $ 24.2 billion. The FDI inflows have again witnessed an increasing trend from 2012 till 2016. However, in 2017, the FDI inflows decreased to $ 39.9 billion from $ 44.5 billion in 2016. As per the World Investment Report of 2018, India is ranked 10th for the year 2017.![\\"India’s](\\" Inflows-India-1990-to-2017-UNCTAD-1.jpg\\") > Claim: India ranked 9th on the foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows in > 2016 – World Investment Report 2017. > > Fact: It is true that India is ranked 9th in the list for 2016. However, FDI > inflows decreased in the 2017 and India slipped to the 10th rank in 2017. > Hence the claim is PARTLY TRUE. What is India’s rank in the list of prospective host economies? The third claim is that India is ranked 3rd in the list of top prospective host economies for 2016-18 in the UNCTAD World Investment Report (WIR). The World investment report 2016 says ‘MNEs’ three top prospective host countries – China, India and the United States – remain unchanged in this year’s survey.’ India is ranked third among the three countries and it remains so even according to The World Investment Report 2017. The report also claims that the renewed efforts of countries such as India, China and the United States to attract foreign direct investment could increase the absolute amounts of money flowing in. India was in the 3rd position even during the UPA, but fell to the 4th position in as per the 2014 report. > Claim: India ranked 3rd in the list of top prospective host economies for > 2016-18 in the UNCTAD World Investment Report (WIR). > > Fact: India continues to be ranked 3rd in the list of prospective economies > in WIR. This ranking has been more or less stable for a number of years. > Hence, the claim is TRUE. What is India’s sovereign credit rating? The fourth claim is that Moody’s upgraded India sovereign credit rating from Baa3 to Baa2 for the first time in 14 years. According to Moody’s website, ‘Moody’s is an essential component of the global capital markets, providing credit ratings, research, tools and analysis that contribute to transparent and integrated financial markets.’ According to Moody’s website, ‘Moody’s Investors Service (“Moody’s”) has upgraded the Government of India’s local and foreign currency issuer ratings to Baa2 from Baa3 and changed the outlook on the rating to stable from positive. Moody’s has also upgraded India’s local currency senior unsecured rating to Baa2 from Baa3 and its short-term local currency rating to P-2 from P-3.’ The Press Information Bureau has said that ‘India’s rating has been upgraded after a period of 13 years. India’s sovereign credit rating was last upgraded in January 2004 to Baa3 (from Ba1).’ > Claim: Moody’s upgraded India sovereign credit rating from Baa3 to Baa2 for > the first time in 14 years. > > Fact: Moody’s Investors Service has upgraded the Government of India’s local > and foreign currency issuer ratings to Baa2 from Baa3. India’s rating has > been upgraded after a period of 13 years. Hence the claim is TRUE. This story is part of a larger series on the 4-years of the Modi government.

These are currently circulating on Facebook numerous postings (archived here) claiming that the World Health Organization (WHO) has published its guidelines on the use of PCR Tests changed. A positive result is no longer an indication of one “COVID19 infection”. There are different versions of the claim. In another Facebook posting (archived here) states that the WHO PCR Declared tests unreliable. According to the WHO, such a test would alone not enough to detect an infection. ASSESSMENT: As the World Health Organization (WHO) announced upon request, She still considers PCR tests to be a “highly reliable instrument Diagnosis of Covid-19». That a release from January 2021 is one The change in the WHO assessment of PCR tests is not true. According to a spokeswoman, there are ten reports of problems with Tests that have reached the WHO since the start of the pandemic. FACTS: The World Health Organization (WHO) announced on January 20, 2021 Information note published aimed at users of PCR Tests are aimed at - for example, laboratory staff. The note says below Among other things, you are reminded to read the instructions for use of PCR tests carefully. In addition, the WHO draws attention to known properties of the tests. For example, it means that there are even more false-positive results comes the fewer people who are actually infected - i.e. people without Infection such as this is incorrectly detected. About the However, this says nothing about the quality and reliability of tests. The WHO also points out that the Ct value is inversely proportional to the Viral load is. This value indicates the number of test cycles that are necessary to Reproduce and therefore recognize viral RNA. The WHO advises careful attention Interpretations of weak positive results for an infection, i.e. from Tests that required many cycles. According to the note, the from Manufacturer recommended threshold values must be observed. In connection with If positive results are weak, the WHO advises looking for symptoms in those tested pay attention and carry out a new test - but not generally if the test is positive results. When asked by the German Press Agency (dpa), the WHO said: “We would like to reiterate that we properly used PCR tests for a “Consider a highly reliable tool for diagnosing Covid-19”. Completely So it is wrong to claim that the WHO does not consider a positive result longer for an indication of infection. According to the WHO, the background to the note is ten reports to the organization since the beginning of 2020, which dealt with problems with PCR tests. Included it was about both false-positive and false-negative results, like a spokeswoman wrote in response to a dpa request. Investigations have shown that In the specific cases, the Ct specified by the manufacturers is not Threshold values were observed. Make a note of these specifications Attention, the first version in December 2020 had been published. An alleged unreliability of the test has now been established as well little can be deduced from the note, such as that it is a change in the WHO Assessment is, as suggested in some of the postings. In the new one Information note is of further consideration in the diagnosis Factors are also explicitly mentioned in the context of “health services” (“health care providers») the speech. How the individual states use PCR tests in turn The WHO does not prescribe the use of determining the number of cases. In Austria it is one of the tasks of the Agency for Health and Food security (AGES), communicable and non-communicable diseases to combat or prevent the population. Both that Ministry of Health and the German Robert Koch Institute (RKI) described PCR testing as the gold standard for diagnosing an infection SARS-CoV-2. The PCR test is “the most reliable method Identification and isolation of people infected with Sars-CoV-2 or are sick with Covid-19,” it says Austrian test strategy. PCR testing is therefore an essential part of that. \--- Left: WHO note (01/20/2021): information-notice-for-ivd-users-2020-05 (archived: Previous WHO version (December 14, 2020, archived): information-notice-for-ivd-users Business areas of the Agency for Health and Food Security (AGES): Austrian test strategy (page 9): (archived Download link: Robert Koch Institute (RKI) on PCR tests for Sars-Cov-2: (archived: Facebook posting 1: (archived: Facebook posting 2: (archived: \--- Contact the dpa fact check team: factcheck-oesterreich@dpa.com powered by dpa-newslab | Imprint | Privacy | About: | Since PCR tests have been used to combat the corona pandemic their validity has been questioned There are currently numerous postings circulating on Facebook archived here claiming that the World Health Organization WHO has changed its guidelines on the use of PCR tests A positive result is no longer an indication of a COVID19 infection There are different versions of the claim Another Facebook posting archived here states that the WHO has declared PCR tests unreliable According to the WHO such a test alone would not be enough to detect an infection | 3330 |

Trump singled out enforcement efforts against the MS-13 gang during an immigration roundtable discussion on two House bills written to withhold funds from jurisdictions that shield immigrants and to impose stricter penalties for criminal immigrants who re-enter the country. MS-13 gang members are \"bad people, and we\'ve gotten many of them out already. You know, we\'re pretty much at the 50 percent mark,\" Trump said June 28. \"We\'re getting them out as fast as we can get them out, and we\'re freeing up towns.\" Trump’s comment caught our attention since this is one of the most notorious gangs in the country. Is he halfway there in deporting thousands of MS-13 gang members? Not exactly. There’s an estimated 10,000 MS-13 gang members in the United States. The latest data shows immigration officials have deported 2,798 gang members in fiscal year 2017 — that’s members of all gangs and includes several months when former President Barack Obama was in office. MS-13 in the United States Trump’s June 28 remarks weren’t the first he’s made about MS-13 and his administration’s efforts against them. At a rally this month in Iowa, he told supporters his administration was \"moving them out of the country by the thousands.\" In April, he falsely tweeted that Obama’s policies allowed MS-13 to form across the United States, and again that his administration was removing them fast. But multiple experts told us there is no evidence Obama’s policies caused the gang’s growth in the country. MS-13 grew out of poor Los Angeles neighborhoods where many refugees from civil wars in El Salvador, Guatemala and Nicaragua lived in the 1980s. It’s grown into an international criminal organization with more than 30,000 members worldwide, the Justice Department said in an April 18, 2017, fact sheet. #### Featured Fact-check ![](\\" ![](\\" Laura Loomer stated on July 31, 2024 in an X post “Nowhere on her birth certificate does it say that she is BLACK OR AFRICAN. … Kamala Harris is NOT black and never has been.” ![\\"true\\"](\\" false/33efdb6633e5e2fdc2d4e2f63383a1e0.jpg.\\") ![\\"false\\"](\\" false.jpg\\") By Jeff Cercone • August 6, 2024 It’s difficult to peg down exactly how many MS-13 gang members there are in the United States. Trump’s Justice Department in April said there were more than 10,000 MS-13 gang members in the United States. FactCheck.org noted that for years the 10,000 figure has been a consistent estimate. MS-13 deportations under Trump We asked the White House for evidence backing Trump’s claim, but did not get an on-the-record response. A specific number of MS-13 gang members deported is not available because officials don’t track removals by specific gang, Dani Bennett, spokesperson for U.S. Customs and Immigration Enforcement previously told us. (The FBI says there’s around 33,000 violent street gangs, motorcycle gangs, and prison gangs criminally active in the U.S. and Puerto Rico — with an estimated 1.4 million members.) But ICE \"does specifically target MS-13 members for arrest and removal on the basis of their immigration violations,\" Bennett said, adding that deportations include foreign fugitives wanted for crimes committed abroad and who are removable under U.S. immigration law. So far in fiscal year 2017, ICE said it has removed 2,798 gang members. Even if all of them were MS-13 gang members, that would still be short of Trump’s claim that \"we\'re pretty much at the 50 percent mark\" — since the Justice Department in April said there’s an estimated 10,000 gang members in the country. Also, fiscal year 2017 started Oct. 1, 2016, when Obama was still in office. Our ruling Trump said, \"We\'re pretty much at the 50 percent mark\" on deportations of MS-13 gang members. Trump’s Justice Department has said there’s an estimated 10,000 MS-13 gang members in the United States. The latest available data from ICE shows 2,798 gang members have been removed in fiscal year 2017. But that includes members of all gangs, not just MS-13. Even if all were MS-13, that would not be half of the estimated 10,000 MS-13 gang members in the country. And fiscal year 2017 includes more than three months that Obama was in office. Trump’s statement is not accurate. We rate it False.

The association of FACUA consumers, which advises and defends consumers against fraud or abuses, has indicated to Newtral that they are not aware of "any increase covert»_. However, they specify that "the risk of rise may be for users with the semi-regulated rate [PVPC] who switch to other rates of the free market." These could reach a percentage similar to that mentioned in the image, according to the association. On the other hand, sources from the electricity sector indicate that for there to be increase of 38%, taxes would have to rise a lot since they represent a large proportion of the bill. Furthermore, estimates are usually made on the wholesale market price. Endesa calculates, for example, that for 2019, the average daily price in the market will be 56.5 euros/MWh, an increase of 5.6 percentage points compared to 2018. As a consumer of electrical energy, there is the possibility of being in the regulated market (called PVPC, Voluntary Price for Small Consumers) or in the free market. Consumers with more than 10 kilowatts (kW) of power can only contract in the free market, where the price is set by contract, due to the evolution of the electricity market or through a fixed price. On the contrary, in the regulated market the price varies every hour depending on of supply and demand and its calculation methodology is regulated by a royal decree. ![\\"hoaxes](\\"\\") Beyond Mocejón: the other hoaxes that attributed crimes to migrants in Barcelona, Tenerife or Getxo We have consulted energy experts and consulted the current legislation to explain how the price of electricity is calculated and how it is displayed on the bill. To analyze how much the price of electricity has fallen or risen, The market operator (OMIE) offers daily production market data, which corresponds to approximately 90% of the total price. It also offers data of the average final price. ### Price evolution From January 1 to June 31, 2019, the average daily market price fell 23.9%. Compared to the month of May, it fell 2.48%. AND Compared to the same month in 2018, it fell 20%. «These are current data, we cannot make an extrapolation until the end of 2019", underlines from the OMIE, the wholesale market that sets the price of most of the electricity bill. The decrease in the price of electricity is mainly explained by the low gas price. «The price of the gas spot market has decreased by 57% compared to the same month last year," indicates the electricity market report from the energy consultancy Grupo Ase. “_Gas is one of the most important electricity generation_”, emphasizes Leo Gago, one of the Ase Group analysts and author of the report. According to it, 26.5% of Electricity generation produced in June is combined cycle. That is, of gas. "To produce electricity, gas is burned," he explains. The rest distributes between nuclear, wind, hydraulic, solar and coal energy. For him next quarter, the forecast is that prices will be similar to those of now. ![\\"The](\\"\\") The old and new hoaxes that resurface with the mpox outbreak ### What does the electricity bill include? What we pay on our bill depends, among other things, on the type of consumer that we are. It is not the same to be an SME, a large company or a domestic consumer. But also, the electricity bill that comes to us house does not only include what we have consumed. What it includes is: 1\. The energy consumed. This price includes the price of energy in the daily production market (as we have indicated, close to 90% of the total), the price of the intraday market and the markets for security services adjustment, the remuneration of the market operator and the system operator (Red Eléctrica de España, REE), the prices of capacity payments and the interruptibility demand management service on the peninsula as well as the marketing margin of the supplying marketer. 2\. Access tolls. These cover the regulated costs of the sector and are set each year by the Government in a ministerial order. They include the remuneration to REE and the distributors for the maintenance of the transportation and distribution, the specific remuneration regime of renewable energy producers, the extra cost of generation in the non-peninsular territories, the annuities of the tariff deficit that are generated in past years and other costs. 3\. Rental of measurement equipment. Refers to the counter when it is not consumer property. 4\. Indirect taxes that levy electricity consumption. include the special tax on electricity, with a rate of 5.1127% and VAT, with a rate of 21%. ### The price of electricity has increased since 2016 In the following graph, we can see the evolution of the average final price from 2009 to 2018. In the last ten years, the price has increased by 64%, reaching a peak in 2011 and in 2015. But it is especially since 2016 that the price of electrical energy rises. One of the explanations for this increase is the rise in the price of emissions. «In 2016, emissions They cost 3 and now they cost 27", explains Leo Gago. To calculate the price of electricity bills, there is also the simulator of the National Markets and Competition Commission (CNMC). He National Institute of Statistics, in its consumer price index, It also offers data on the price of electricity.

See the sources for this fact-check Did former President Donald Trump hit the golf course shortly after a gunman attempted to assassinate him at a July 13 campaign rally? We were not able to get an answer to that question, but we do know some photos circulating that show him on a golf course are not proof that he did. \"Imagine getting shot at 7pm and still making your 9am tee time,\" read text on a July 14 Instagram post that showed a photo of Trump driving a golf cart. This post was flagged as part of Meta’s efforts to combat false news and misinformation on its News Feed. (Read more about our partnership with Meta, which owns Facebook and Instagram.) We also saw this photo being shared on X. ![](\\" (Screengrab from Instagram) This photo of Trump playing golf is two years old. A reverse-image search using Google Images found that an Associated Press photographer took the photo in 2022 at Trump National Golf Course in Sterling, Virginia. A July 16 Threads post shared another photo that claimed to show Trump golfing after the shooting. But this photo appeared to originate from a YouTube video posted 10 days before the shooting. A shooter opened fire on Trump’s July 13 campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, in what the FBI is investigating as an assassination attempt. Trump said a bullet hit the upper part of his right ear before he was escorted offstage and taken to a local hospital for treatment. One person in the audience was killed and two others were injured. The Secret Service said its snipers killed the gunman. #### Featured Fact-check ![](\\" Instagram_logo_2016.svg/322c808c00e73c217d17772ddd5a0eb5.jpg\\") ![](\\" Instagram_logo_2016.svg/8b142c91ebe468a84a192e6df2b7b994.jpg\\") Instagram posts stated on September 5, 2024 in a post Video shows Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz dancing to Beyoncé in a cowboy hat and crop top. ![\\"true\\"](\\" false/33efdb6633e5e2fdc2d4e2f63383a1e0.jpg.\\") ![\\"false\\"](\\" false.jpg\\") By Sara Swann • September 6, 2024 That night, Trump traveled to his home at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey. On July 14, Trump posted on Truth Social that he would leave at 3:30 p.m. for the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee. Claims about Trump golfing following the shooting surfaced after Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, in a July 14 X post shared — and later retracted — a video that he said showed Trump went golfing \"the next day\" after the shooting. It was tagged with a community note that said the video was not filmed that day, July 14. In an update an hour after his X post, Lee said, \"I’m now told this video was uploaded today but *not* taken today. My bad!\" The TikTok account that posted the video is now private, so the video cannot be publicly viewed. An archived version of TikTok video showed it was published July 14. PolitiFact contacted Trump’s campaign to ask whether Trump played golf during his short stay at the Bedminster golf club, but we did not receive a response by publication. Trump National Golf Club Bedminster was closed July 14, Politico reported. We rate the claim that these photos show Trump golfing after being shot False. **UPDATE, July 16, 2024** : We have updated this fact-check to account for additional social media posts that used outdated photos to claim Trump golfed following his July 13 assassination attempt. #### Read About Our Process The Principles of the Truth-O-Meter ### Our Sources Instagram post (archived version), July 14, 2024 X post, July 14, 2024 X post, July 14, 2024 Sen.

Scott Walker of Wisconsin touted the state\'s business climate under his watch. (Associated Press photo) ![\\"Eric](\\" mug_small/f8ec7291d825b9e6d54a4e23eef2704c.jpg\\"/) By Eric Litke August 23, 2017 # Testing Scott Walker\'s Top 10 business ranking claim Gov. Scott Walker has sought to make business development and job creation a foundational part of his legacy in the state — a drive boosted by the announcement that Foxconn Technology Group plans to build a $10 billion plant here. So it’s no surprise the state’s business climate has been a common refrain in the push to win the plant and in the victory laps since Foxconn’s decision. That included this July 19, 2017, tweet from Walker: \"We took Wisconsin from the Bottom 10 for business to the Top 10. Our reforms are working and more are on the way!\" The same claim showed up in a column published Aug. 4, 2017, in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. What does it mean to be in the \"Top 10\" for business, and who decides that? Let’s dig in. Many surveys, many results Walker’s tweet didn’t cite a source, but Walker spokesman Tom Evenson said it referred to a ranking from Chief Executive Magazine, which placed Wisconsin No. 10 in its 2017 Best & Worst States for Business. The same survey ranked Wisconsin 41st in 2010, the year Walker was elected. That’s the bottom 10 of his claim. The ranking — which Walker’s touted in a news release when it was released in May — is based on a survey asking CEOs their perceptions of each state. Many national groups do similar surveys with a variety of methodologies, but most others aren’t so keen on Wisconsin’s business climate. Here’s a sampling of the most recent ratings from prominent sources: * CNBC’s 2017 scorecard ranked Wisconsin 21st in economic climate, based on an analysis of more than 60 measures, such as workforce, infrastructure, cost of doing business, economy and quality of life. * The Tax Foundation’s 2017 ranking of state tax climate pegs Wisconsin at 39th for how well a state’s tax system is structured for business. * Site Selection Magazine ranked Wisconsin 25th for overall business climate in 2016, which it calculates by combining a survey of corporate site selectors and data on recent projects sited in the state. * Forbes ranked Wisconsin 27th in 2016 among its best states for business based on a combined ranking that included business cost, labor supply, regulatory environment, economic climate, growth prospects and quality of life. * The Kauffman Index publishes three rankings on aspects of entrepreneurial activity. Among the largest 25 states in 2016, it ranked Wisconsin second for Main Street entrepreneurship (per capita small businesses and business owners), 23rd for growth entrepreneurship (how much new businesses have grown) and 25th for startup activity (number of new businesses and business owners). * An undated ranking from US NEWS & World Report puts the state’s business environment at 32nd, based on private business birth rate and number of patents per capita. Among the prominent national rankings, the Chief Executive Magazine one cited by Walker is the only one that does not have some objective, data-based component. Mike Winkleman, the magazine’s editor in chief, said the survey was sent to CEOs of the 42,000 largest companies in the country, of which about 500 responded. Each was asked to rank the four best and four worst states for doing business, and those were compiled into the national rankings using a points system. #### Featured Fact-check ![](\\" ![](\\" JD Vance stated on August 25, 2024 in an interview on NBC\'s \"Meet the Press\" “Anything that you lose on the tariff from the perspective of the consumer, you gain in higher wages, so you\'re ultimately much better off.” ![\\"true\\"](\\" false/33efdb6633e5e2fdc2d4e2f63383a1e0.jpg.\\") ![\\"false\\"](\\" false.jpg\\") By Louis Jacobson • August 29, 2024 Rankings overly simplistic, experts say Site selectors, who analyze state and local business climates for a living, say such rankings are trying to paint broadly and objectively what is inherently specific and subjective. \"There is no ‘best’ state (or states) for every type of business,\" Andrew Shapiro, managing director of site selection company Biggins Lacy Shapiro & Company, said in an email. \"These rankings can be methodologically suspect and as a result can vary wildly from survey to survey and from year to year.\" A concept like \"business climate\" means different things to different people and can’t really be objectively defined or ranked in a general way, said Darin Buelow, a principal and head of the site selection group for Deloitte Consulting. \"Any site selection or location decision has to be customized to a particular company and their particular needs,\" Buelow said. \"A state or a community or a county might be a great place to do business for one company in a certain industry sector, but it could be a terrible place to do business for another company.\" Larry Gigerich, executive managing director of Ginovus, an Indiana-based site selection firm, said the surveys can catch the eye of business leaders in some cases and may get a state some initial consideration, but conditions specific to that project and industry determine final decisions. He said the rankings his firm typically pays attention to are CNBC, Chief Executive Magazine, Site Selection Magazine and the Kauffman Index’s growth entrepreneurship score. Wisconsin ranked an average of 20th among those four. Moving in the right direction Chief Executive Magazine is an outlier in how highly it ranks Wisconsin’s current business climate, but Wisconsin’s rankings have improved across the board since 2010. The CNBC ranking rose from 29 to 21, Forbes from 40 to 27 and the Tax Foundation a lesser uptick from 42 to 39. Site Selection Magazine only ranks the top 25, and Wisconsin was not ranked in 2010. \"I think for the most part the state has shown significant improvement in terms of both perception and its business climate\" since Walker took over, said Gigerich, who has helped locate sites for 300 projects, including about 25 that considered Wisconsin. \"Wisconsin is not one of the lowest-cost states to do business in, but it is one that is now competitive, where I think a decade ago Wisconsin struggled with its tax structure and … economic incentive programs.\" Several site selectors pointed to the creation of the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation as a step in the right direction, though they noted the state is still being held back by its aging transportation infrastructure. \"They’ve certainly done a better job of marketing and articulating Wisconsin’s value proposition as a destination for advanced manufacturing,\" Buelow said. Evenson, the Walker spokesman, said Foxconn’s decision to build in Wisconsin is evidence of change.The Asian electronics giant has said it will employ thousands at a massive flat screen television plant in southeastern Wisconsin. Our rating Walker said Wisconsin is now a Top 10 state for business when it used to be in the bottom 10. Site selection professionals say they have seen improvements in Wisconsin’s business environment, but note there is no consensus on how to define and rank the business climate between states. Walker’s claim was made broadly and without attribution even though it referred to just one of many rankings that attempt to quantify data and perceptions on states’ business environments. It is the only prominent national ranking to rank Wisconsin in the Top 10 aside from an index that focuses narrowly on small businesses. We rate Walker’s claim Mostly False.

(AP) ![\\"Amy](\\" By Amy Sherman July 31, 2018 # Ohio Sen. Sherrod Brown votes with Elizabeth Warren, Chuck Schumer, Renacci says Ohio Republican U.S. Rep. Jim Renacci says his Democratic opponent Sen. Sherrod Brown votes in step with Democratic leadership and liberals. Renacci held a July 10 press conference in Cincinnati to call for term limits. \"People start voting not for their state anymore but they start voting for their leadership,\" Renacci said. \"And we have seen that with our Sen. Sherrod Brown who votes 97 percent with Chuck Schumer, almost 95 plus percent with Elizabeth Warren.\" Renacci was referring to the voting records of Schumer, who is the Democratic Senate leader and represents New York, as well as Warren, who represents Massachusetts and is a potential 2020 presidential contender to challenge President Donald Trump. We found that Renacci is largely correct on the numbers but we will add some context. In recent years, the average senator voted with his or her party about 90 percent of the time when a majority of Democrats took a position different from a majority of Republicans, said Steven S. Smith, Washington University political science professor. \"In this context, a serious look at a senator’s record requires more digging. On what issues did the senator introduce legislation, offer amendments, address in public statements, or pursue on committee or in conference?\" Brown’s voting record Renacci’s campaign pointed to vote data compiled by Congressional Quarterly, which showed that Brown voted with Schumer 96 percent of the time between 2007 and 2018. For the comparison with Warren, who joined the Senate in 2013, the Renacci campaign pulled CQ data showing Brown voted the same as Warren about 94 percent of the time. We used ProPublica’s public database which provides head-to-head comparisons, and found similar results. So the numbers aren’t in dispute. We have fact-checked several previous claims that Democrats voted with former President Barack Obama or their party the vast majority of the time and generally rated them Mostly True if the numbers were on target. Most Democrats and Republicans largely vote with their respective party, but using only the statistic doesn’t tell the full story about a senator’s record. The straight-up vote comparisons here between three Democratic senators don’t tell the full story about Brown’s voting record, either. Brown’s campaign spokesman Preston Maddock pointed to some key votes on which Brown opposed Warren. For example, in 2014, Brown voted to adopt the conference report on the farm bill and was tapped by leadership to reconcile differences between the House and the Senate. Warren was among Senate Democrats who opposed any cuts to food stamps and voted against the legislation. #### Featured Fact-check ![](\\" ![](\\" Bernie Moreno stated on August 20, 2024 in a campaign ad U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown voted to “give illegals taxpayer funded stimulus checks, health care, even Social Security.\" ![\\"true\\"](\\" false/33efdb6633e5e2fdc2d4e2f63383a1e0.jpg.\\") ![\\"false\\"](\\" false.jpg\\") By Seth A. Richardson • September 4, 2024 In 2015, Brown voted to adopt the conference report to reauthorize federal transportation programs and renew the charter of the Export-Import bank. Under the bill, Brown said Ohio was set to receive an increase in money for highway and transit projects. Warren opposed the legislation because she said it rolled back rules that protect consumers and our financial system. In 2016, Brown voted for the 21st Century Cures Act, which authorized $1 bill to states to combat the opioid crisis. Warren said the bill was \"hijacked\" by the pharmaceutical industry and opposed it. Brown also voted for some of Trump’s nominees in 2017 whom Warren opposed, including Ben Carson to head up Housing and Urban Development and Wilbur Ross for commerce secretary. Brown supported U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer\'s confirmation, while Schumer opposed him. While Brown has criticized Trump on several fronts, Maddock pointed to some examples on which the Democratic senator has been in agreement with the president. For example, Brown supported the Interdict Act to make it easier for customs officials to block fentanyl from getting into the U.S. The law passed the Senate by unanimous consent. Trump signed the House version into law, while Brown was a cosponsor of the Senate version. U.S. Sen. Rob Portman, Ohio’s Republican senator, also backed the bill, and both Portman and Brown attended a signing ceremony for the new law at the White House. Brown and Trump also share some views on trade. Brown has said Trump’s order on raising imported steel will help stabilize steel jobs in Ohio. Experts say members often vote along party lines Experts told us that it’s no surprise that senators from the same party often vote the same. \"Democrats tend to vote with fellow Democrats, just as Republicans tend to vote with their party. The existence of parties and winner-take-all congressional primaries incentivizes party-line voting,\" University of Akron political science professor David Cohen said. The vote comparison among Democrats omits that the Senate reaches bipartisan consensus on some issues, for example, the recent unanimous vote in the Senate to express opposition to allowing the Russians to interrogate American diplomats, said University of Miami political science professor Gregory Koger. \"There may be a lot of issues on which Brown disagrees with Schumer and/or Warren that do not come to the Senate floor, so their roll call voting record may overstate their actual policy agreement,\" Koger said. Using the ProPublica database of votes, we found that Renacci voted the same as House Majority Leader Paul Ryan about 89 percent of the time. Our ruling Renacci said Brown \"votes 97 percent with Chuck Schumer, almost 95 plus percent with Elizabeth Warren.\" The numbers are largely correct and not in dispute. But it’s not unusual for members of the same party to vote together, and it doesn’t tell the full story about their voting record. We rate this claim Mostly True. #### Read About Our Process The Principles of the Truth-O-Meter ### Our Sources YouTube, U.S. Rep.

The message, which went viral through social networks and WhatsApp, stated that only disposable masks will be accepted and that ink stains on the ballot will be left void, among other things. ![\\"\\"](\\" FAKE-576x1024.jpeg\\") ## Servel Clarification Santamaría, through his Twitter account, made a thread clarifying the most of the points of the publication, which he himself declared as false. > Alleged instructions are circulating from someone who claims to be a "jury" > electoral\" We clarify that in Chile there are no electoral juries, but rather > the and the vowels. Therefore, the \"position\" that is awarded to whoever gives the > instructions is FALSE. > > — Patricio Santamaría (@p_santamariam) October 17, 2020 In this regard, he pointed out that “There are supposed instructions circulating from someone who He claims to be an “electoral jury.” We clarify that in Chile there are no juries electoral, but the members. Therefore, the “position” that is awarded "Whoever gives the instructions is FALSE." ### Stained ballot paper and ink on fingers: #Fake In relation to the fact that “the digital will be sealed with ink”, that is, it will be inked a finger to the suffragettes to corroborate that they have already voted, Santamaría pointed out that: “It is FALSE, since it has been years since the finger has been inked (…) to avoid double voting.” > Then it is pointed out that the voters will be inked before they vote. > That is also FALSE, since the finger has not been inked for years, which, > in any case it was done when the voter had already voted and before > to leave the table, to avoid double voting > > — Patricio Santamaría (@p_santamariam) October 17, 2020 Added to this is that, if the ballot is stained with ink, the vote would be null. However, this was also denied by the representative of the Servel, who also pointed out that the ink is used in case the person don't know how to sign. > It is added that if the vote gets dirty with ink (which we already saw is not > used, except for those who do not know how to sign and must put their fingerprint in the Register > Electoral) the vote would be null. This is FALSE, the only cause for nullity of the > vote, is that more than one preference is marked in this one > > — Patricio Santamaría (@p_santamariam) October 17, 2020 ### Any blue paste pencil and masks will do Finally, the viral publication states that “masks cannot be used.” reusable” and that the only ones that are allowed are disposable ones. In addition to pointing out that the blue paste pencil must be BIC brand. The above was clarified by Santamaría, who emphasized that any mask, which fulfills the function of protecting the voter, serves and that the pencil It should not be a specific brand. > It is also said that you should bring a blue pencil, hopefully Bic. Yes ok > You are asked to bring a blue pencil, it should not be a specific brand. > It is also FALSE that it is required to go to vote with a disposable mask, enough > go with any mask that protects the voter > > — Patricio Santamaría (@p_santamariam) October 17, 2020 This information was also denied by Fast Check CL some time ago, through the election regulations published in the Official Gazette. In this It is noted that “Voters must sign the respective table register.” using your own blue paste pencil or the one you need for this purpose. “the president of the table will provide.” > Voters must bring their own blue pencil for the 2020 Plebiscite: > #Real ## Information corresponding to Bolivia In fact, after the investigation, Fast Check CL verified that the information shared on social networks and which was denied by Santamaría, corresponds actually to the “2020 General Election Regulations” of the Electoral Body Plurinational (OEP) of Bolivia. Indeed, as Santamaría indicated, the term “Electoral Jury” does not does not exist in Chile nor in Servel regulations and in reality this corresponds to a position for electoral purposes used in Bolivia. According to Art 6 of the Regulations for General Elections 2020 of Bolivia, the Electoral judges are appointed by the Supreme Electoral Tribunal, these correspond to ordinary judges in the exercise of functions, who will be the in charge of the entire organization of the voting tables designated for each one. Furthermore, the OEP Health Biosafety Protocol establishes the sanitary requirements for the voting process, within which highlights, mandatory use of masks, carrying a pen and the use of ink to mark the fingerprint on the list of those enabled. ![\\"\\"](\\" Real.png\\")General Elections Protocol 2020 OEP It should be noted that the presidential elections in Bolivia were held on last October 18 and that Luis Arce, former Minister of Economy of Evo Morales, He triumphed after obtaining more than 50% of the votes. > Luis Arce, candidate of Evo Morales' party celebrates victory in > presidential: #Real Therefore, after verifying this information through official sources and Thanks to the clarifications made by Santamaría, Fast Check CL catalogs as #Fake the information viralized on social networks regarding the recommendations for the plebiscite on October 25.

Rating: False About this rating On 12 January 2018, Erin Elizabeth of Health Nut News posted what was, in essence, a regurgitation of a factual article from the Santa Barbara Independent discussing how virulent this year’s flu season is shaping up to be: > Eight Santa Barbara County residents have died from the flu in the past two > weeks alone. By contrast, only three residents died throughout last year’s > entire flu season, which typically runs from October to April. All eight > people were ages 65 or older. [...] “Our numbers are in line with statewide > numbers, and they’re definitely cause for concern,” [public health official > Charity Dean said]. > > Dean attributed this year’s impact to a strain of flu — H3N2 — that’s > particularly resistant to vaccination. According to the Center for Disease > Control, vaccines have been effective at knocking this strain out only 32 > percent of the time. But studies from Australia — where the flu season runs > about six months ahead of the United States and Europe — indicates the > vaccine’s effectiveness could be even more limited than that, only ten > percent. Advertisement: In keeping with her website’s primary modus operandi, Elizabeth uses these tragic deaths to push her own flawed political argument. Her article (bearing the headline \"8 Die of \'Flu\' in 2 Weeks in Santa Barbara. 7 Had Their Flu Shot\") appears to cast doubt on the very existence of influenza, speciously repurposing the story as evidence that people shouldn’t get the flu vaccine: > This year’s strain of flu, H3N2, has been knocking people out — hard. But > you don’t need a flu shot that’s only 10 percent effective and comes with a > host of potential problems. Instead, you need to take care of your body (I’m > not a doctor and not trying to tell you what to do) by getting sunlight or > taking Vitamin D, drink plenty of water, manage your stress level, and eat > plenty of whole foods. Half-hearted disclaimer aside, Elizabeth attempts to make or allude to two medically dubious points while offering her own vitamin D-based treatment plan: 1. The flu vaccine is ineffective and it would be safer to avoid it. 2. The flu vaccine comes with a \"host of potential problems\"; the primary problem, at least in this story, is the allegation that getting the flu shot will make you more susceptible to other illnesses in the future. Advertisement: The Flu Vaccine Is Ineffective, So Why Bother? The effectiveness of the flu vaccine, as well as the strains it covers, varies year to year depending on — among other things — how well researchers are able to predict which strains will be the most virulent each season. That selection is made each year primarily by the World Health Organization Global Influenza Surveillance Network (WHO GISN) in collaboration with research centers all around the world. How well matched their work is to the strains that become problematic each flu season is a primary driver of the vaccine’s effectiveness. As referenced by Elizabeth, data from Australia had suggested that the 2017-2018 influenza season\'s most virulent strain was H3N2. The season\'s flu shot did include that strain, however, so a mismatch is not likely the issue; according to an increasing body of research, the issue may be with the strain itself. H3N2 is more difficult to vaccinate against because it can mutate more rapidly during the vaccine production process and as a result, produce antibodies that do not actually impart immunity against the form of H3N2 to which humans are susceptible. In a 4 January 2018 article in the Journal of the American Medical Association, scientists have suggested that this year’s prevalence of H3N2 could be related to this fact. Advertisement: Despite the variable effectiveness of annual flu shots — which have never claimed to provide 100 percent certainty of immunity against various strains of the flu — doctors and scientists (even the ones writing about its ineffectiveness against H3N2) still strongly recommend getting the shot. Aaron Carroll, a professor of pediatrics at Indiana University School of Medicine, argued in an 11 January 2018 New York Times piece that even an ineffective vaccine year can provide tangible benefits, save lives, and reduce hospital visits and deaths: > Let’s say that this year’s flu vaccine is even worse than we think. Maybe > the absolute risk reduction will be as low as 1 percentage point, making the > [number of people needed to treat to get a result, a metric known as N.T.T.] > 100. That’s still not that bad. Even at an N.N.T. of 100, for every 100 > people who get a flu shot, one fewer will get the flu. That’s a pretty low > N.N.T. compared with many other treatments that health experts recommend > every day. > > Further, a [...] review published in 2016 showed that the N.N.T. in children > 6 years old or younger to prevent one flu case was just six — an astonishing > payoff in medical terms. It has even been shown to be effective in > preventing death in children from flu-related causes.The negatives of a flu > shot are almost nonexistent, and significant side effects are very rare. > Even in an ineffective year, the benefits greatly outweigh the harms. The Flu Vaccine Will Make You More Susceptible to the Flu and Other Viruses Next Year Advertisement: The flu vaccine has been the subject of a number of either completely or mostly incorrect claims made about its safety, which we have previously reviewed in detail. Here Elizabeth adds to that list with a new claim, made in the form of a link to a YouTube video featuring anti-vaccine activist, Natural News contributor and former nephrologist Suzanne Humphries in which she claims that \"plenty\" of medical literature demonstrates that a flu shot increases your risk of getting the flu or other respiratory diseases in following years. This is a stretch. One small-scale study published in 2012 found an increased risk of \"virologically-confirmed non-influenza infections,\" arguing that \"being protected against influenza, [flu shot] recipients may lack temporary non-specific immunity that protected against other respiratory viruses.\" No other studies have replicated this result (though many have tried), and a number of larger-scale studies have, in fact, found no evidence that this is the case. Elizabeth\'s effort to turn the tragic deaths of eight senior citizens from the flu into an argument against influenza inoculation rests only on the premise that there is a significant risk to getting the flu shot in the first place. She has provided no credible evidence to support that claim because no credible evidence exists. Instead, she uses the testimony of someone who once provided a biblical rationale for avoiding vaccines to make her argument. Advertisement: The fact is, unless you belong to a class of immunocompromised individuals, the flu shot is extremely safe but its effectiveness does vary year to year. Even in its least effective years, though, influenza immunization has been shown to reduce significantly the incidence of the virus at the population level, which ultimately means there will be fewer opportunities for someone to infect, as an example, eight Santa Barbara County residents. #### Sources Welsh, Nick. \"Flu Kills Eight Santa Barbara Residents in Two Weeks.\" Santa Barbara Independent. 8 January 2018.

There is no evidence for either assertion. ##### Full Story In the hours before the first presidential debate, baseless and unsubstantiated claims about former Vice President Joe Biden swirled on social media. The unfounded assertions included claims that Biden was given the questions ahead of time and that he will wear an electronic earpiece during the debate. ##### Baseless Assertion on Debate Questions On Twitter and Facebook on Sept. 29, a conservative radio host pushed a baseless story that Biden was given the questions for the first presidential debate in advance. “Word on the street is that @JoeBiden got tonight’s debate questions in advance – per @KXEL1540,” Todd Starnes wrote in a tweet shared more than 11,000 times. An article on his website spreading the claim was shared on Facebook nearly 3,000 times, according to CrowdTangle data. Its sole source was a recent interview conducted with Jerome Corsi, a known purveyor of conspiracy theories and a key figure in Roger Stone’s conviction stemming from the investigation into Russia’s interference in the 2016 election. Chris Wallace, a Fox News anchor, is moderating the first debate. A Fox News spokesperson rejected the claim, telling FactCheck.org that Wallace had not sent out any questions prior to the debate. “This is entirely false and any assertion otherwise is patently absurd,” the spokesperson said in a statement. In a Sept. 28 segment about Wallace’s preparation, Fox News’ Martha MacCallum said: “Wallace says his questions for Tuesday night’s high-stakes, primetime matchup will not be shared with either campaign or the debate commission ahead of time.” (3:27) The nonpartisan host of the debate, the Commission on Presidential Debates, publicly announced on Sept. 22 that Wallace had selected the topics for the debate. The topics include the records of President Donald Trump and Biden, the Supreme Court, COVID-19, the economy, election integrity and race and urban unrest. Two days later, on Sept. 24, Corsi made the unsubstantiated claim about Wallace giving Biden the questions in an interview with KXEL. “The information that I’ve just gotten — and I think, well, it’s always been accurate — is that Joe Biden has been given the questions from Fox’s Chris Wallace and he’s being prepared on the exact questions he’s going to be asked,” Corsi said in the interview. But Corsi — who also called Biden the “worst presidential candidate in my lifetime” during the interview — provided no evidence or sourcing to support his claim. We reached out to Corsi to ask what evidence he had to back up his allegation, but didn’t hear back. ##### Unfounded Earpiece Claim The Trump campaign added more fuel to the pre-debate frenzy online when it released a statement claiming that Biden had refused to comply with an inspection for electronic earpieces and had requested “multiple breaks.” By the end of the day, conservative Facebook pages were rife with baseless memes asserting that the former vice president would actually be wearing an earpiece. Biden’s deputy campaign manager, Kate Bedingfield, reportedly called the claim “absurd” on a call with journalists and said, “Of course, he is not wearing an earpiece, and we never asked for breaks.” The Commission on Presidential Debates didn’t immediately respond to our request for comment. But the New York Times outlined what it called “The Long History of ‘Hidden Earpiece’ Conspiracy Theories,” detailing the various partisan claims about surreptitious electronic communications used by presidential candidates since Rush Limbaugh accused Al Gore of using an earpiece during an appearance on NBC’s “Meet the Press” during the 2000 election. None of the earpiece claims noted in the New York Times story were ever proven to be true. The Trump campaign’s claim appears to have developed out of its request “to allow a third party to inspect the ears of each debater for electronic devices or transmitters,” according to an early report from Fox News published on the morning of the debate. Although Biden’s campaign has denied the rumor that the former vice president would wear an electronic listening device during the debate, the memes that claim otherwise have spread widely. There’s no evidence to support that claim, though. Update, Oct. 1, 2020: In Facebook ads that largely targeted voters in swing states, the Trump campaign promoted both the claim that Biden had requested breaks and the unfounded suggestion that Biden would wear an earpiece, according to Facebook’s political ad library.
