Previous Troubling Reports

As we get closer to the midterms Trump and his administration are working hard to increase proof citizenship laws.

In the clip they claim that Obama is telling everyone to vote; however, they are not showing the entire clip where he says through legal means.

Polling numbers have come out for Donald Trump's approval rating and they aren't good. However, Trump wrote to Truth Social stating that his polling numbers were actually great, despite what the media is saying. This is troubling because Trump just continues to lie, and it seems as if we have just accepted that it is something that will happen. What's worse, is that there are people out there that have been convinced that what Trump is saying is correct, and are also living in a false reality.

Public perception of political figures is routinely mischaracterized by biased sources, this source repeats this trend with Hunter Biden. Biden is most well known for a scandal that centered around leaked nude photos of him in bed with multiple prostitutes smoking crack cocaine.

The article's specific claims regarding 'popular public support' completely lack evidence and imply a false narrative to readers.

Whatley's campaign against journalists feeds into misinformative conspiracy theories and public mistrust.

On July 26, 2026, Forbes published a story stating that Morocco is naming a highway after President Trump. The only source for the claim is a video Trump posted to Truth Social the same day. The Moroccan government has not confirmed it, and no independent confirmation existed at the time of publication or since. Snopes reviewed the coverage on July 30 and found that Forbes, Bloomberg, El País, and Hespress English all trace back to the same single source. This is single-source reporting of a government action presented without qualification and qualifies as misinformation due to the poor sourcing and framing.
