According to the Indian Advocates Act, 1961, Legislators (MPs/MLAs/MLCs) in India are barred from practising as advocates while serving their term.

Publisher’s rating: MISLEADING

The review says the Advocates Act, 1961, does not prohibit legislators from practising as advocates during their terms. It explains that Rule 49 bars practice while in full-time salaried employment, but the Supreme Court held that legislators are not considered full-time salaried employees for this rule; the review also says the Court dismissed a petition seeking such a ban on 25 September 2018.

日本の消費税は重複課税されている

Publisher’s rating: 誤り

The review says tax is charged at each transaction stage, but businesses can deduct the consumption tax paid on purchases from the tax due on sales.

佐藤正久・参院議員「JAL123便は自衛隊が訓練中に誤って撃墜」と発言

Publisher’s rating: 誤り

A video circulated as evidence that Sato Masahisa claimed the Self-Defense Forces shot down JAL123. The review says he was reading from a book to describe the allegation, not expressing his own view; it reports that he argued the claim was an insult to SDF personnel and that the defense minister denied SDF involvement.

PolitiFactHealth & medicine

many autistic children were "fully functional" and "regressed … into autism when they were 2 years old. And these are kids who will never pay taxes, they'll never hold a job, they'll never play baseball, they'll never write a poem, they'll never go out on a date. Many of them will never use a toilet unassisted."

Publisher’s rating: Exaggerated

Research from related reporting quotes Kennedy’s April 2025 remarks, including the claims about regression and autistic children’s future abilities. A research paper argues that the remarks erase autistic people’s contributions and notes that, by Kennedy’s own figures, 75% may hold jobs, toilet independently, and be “fully functional.”
