Fact Checker FAQ
What is a fact checker tool?
A fact checker tool helps you organize a claim, find original sources, check context, and document evidence before deciding whether the claim is supported, misleading, false, or still unverified.
Does this tool automatically verify whether a claim is true?
No. It does not browse live sources or issue an automatic truth rating. It gives you a structured worksheet so you can verify the claim with stronger evidence.
What sources should I check first?
Start with the original source, then compare it with primary records, official documents, reputable wire services, expert sources, and corrections or retractions.
How do I fact check a social media post?
Save the exact wording, find the earliest version, check the date and media context, search for independent reporting, and watch for screenshots, cropped clips, or unsourced statistics.
Can I use this as a fake news checker?
Yes, it can help review suspicious articles or posts by highlighting missing sources, loaded language, numeric claims, and the evidence needed before sharing.
