Politifact

Politifact is a fact-checking website that aims to provide accurate information to the public by verifying the truthfulness of claims made by politicians, public figures, and other individuals. Founded in 2007, Politifact is a project of the Poynter Institute, a non-profit organization dedicated to improving journalism and media literacy. The website uses a team of experienced journalists and researchers to verify the accuracy of claims, and its findings are presented in a clear and concise manner, making it easy for readers to understand the facts. Politifact's fact-checking process involves a rigorous evaluation of claims, which includes reviewing evidence, interviewing sources, and consulting with experts. The website also provides a rating system, known as the "Truth-O-Meter," which categorizes claims as "True," "Mostly True," "Half True," "Mostly False," or "False." This rating system helps readers quickly identify the accuracy of claims and provides a clear understanding of the facts. By providing accurate information and promoting media literacy, Politifact plays a crucial role in promoting transparency and accountability in politics and public discourse.
