Fact-checkers flag Media Research Center post for "missing context": Facebook fact-checkers flagged the Media Research Center's post featuring President Joe Biden. The organization shared a video of Joe Biden from last year. In the video, Biden claimed vaccination was a "vital part" of preparing for a hurricane. Facebook applied a "missing context" notice to the post and linked to fact-check articles by Factcheck.org, AFP Fact Check, and Lead Stories. The articles claimed that social media users have circulated an old clip that appeared to show President Biden advising Americans to get the COVID-19 vaccine ahead of Hurricane Ian. However, the Media Research Center's post acknowledged the video was from last year. The title of the video said, "As Florida prepares for Hurricane Ian, never forget Biden's sage advice from last year."
