FactCheck.org | Vibepedia

FactCheck.org is a nonprofit website that aims to reduce the level of deception and confusion in U.S. politics by providing original research on misinformation and hoaxes. The idea for FactCheck.org was inspired by Kathleen Hall Jamieson's 1993 book Dirty Politics. FactCheck.org is funded primarily by the Annenberg Foundation. With a focus on rebutting inaccurate, misleading, or false claims made by politicians, FactCheck.org has become a trusted source for fact-checking and debunking online myths. The website features sections such as Ask FactCheck, where users can ask questions based on online rumors, and Viral Spiral, a page dedicated to the most popular online myths that the site has debunked. FactCheck.org has partnered with Google to provide fact-checking services for its search engine, and has also worked with Facebook to reduce the spread of misinformation on its platform. FactCheck.org has a dedicated team of researchers and fact-checkers. FactCheck.org has expanded its reach through social media, with a strong presence on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube.
