Fact Check Sites – 7/1/2025
No one, myself included, should post facts if they don’t
know how to check the veracity of their content, and I've found sites to help
with that.
When I see a headline that seems slanted, outrageous,
sensationalized, or otherwise pushes my skepticism button, I google the
headline. Headlines contain key words that search engines latch onto and pull
up related articles. If nothing pops up but the article I’m googling – none of
the larger news outlets (AP, Reuters, NPR, PBS, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, etc) are
covering it, I won’t post about it. If it’s a story that’s for real, it will
turn up covered by multiple outlets. When I find articles, I skim a couple of
them to accumulate information about the topic before I post about it, especially if I'm writing an op-ed. I
usually share an article and make a comment on social media, or write a stanza
for my ongoing historical poem and post that.
There are other news outlets I use for research, and I will
add them in as I expand Tell It Tuesday’s content. In the meantime, these
outlets are a good start for my research. I hope you find them helpful for
yours.
