FactCheck.org's Weekly Update

This video reviews some of the statements that we fact-checked during the Democratic National Convention, which ended Aug. 20 with former Vice President Joe Biden accepting his party’s nomination for president.

Numerous readers in recent days sent us emails questioning why we have not changed the headline on our June 26 story, “Biden Floats Baseless Election Conspiracy.”

Facebook posts are using out-of-context photos to suggest Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden and his running mate, Sen. Kamala Harris, are not abiding by public health recommendations regarding face masks. The photos are from early March, before face masks were recommended by federal health officials.

A photo taken at a Black Lives Matter protest in June is now being shared on social media, including by President Donald Trump, with the false claim that it shows a recent rally in Seattle to “demand mail-in voting.”

We provide context to some of Joe Biden’s claims in his speech accepting the party’s presidential nomination.

There was news: Sen. Kamala Harris accepted the Democratic vice presidential nomination. But there was little to fact-check.

We found few factual distortions on the night Joe Biden officially became the party’s presidential nominee.

A quiet first night for fact-checkers. Only a few quibbles, including on the minimum wage, mail-in voting and Social Security payments.

A compendium of the top false and misleading claims by the Democratic presidential candidate.
