Fact Checks (Feed desk)

Fact Checks is a data page on the Feed desk of Glassbox Auditing. Recent claims that fact-checking organisations reviewed: what was claimed, who made the claim, the rating in the checker's own words and a link to the review. A claim that spreads widely on social media or in coverage is often what a checker picks up, so the page shows which claims were checked and how each checker rated them.

What does this page lead to?

News (Feed): A claim reviewed here is often about an event in the day's headlines; the review names the claim and links the checker's evidence, set beside the outlets' own reporting on the News page. (either way, depending on the cause; days; sector scale) Source: Google Data Commons fact-check data feed: ClaimReview markup published by each fact-checker (compilation CC BY; each review's own licence in its sdLicense).
Media Bias (Feed): Media Bias rates outlets as a whole; a fact check rates one claim. A checker's rating of a claim says nothing about the outlets that carried the story, and an outlet's rating says nothing about one claim. (either way, depending on the cause; days; sector scale) Source: Google Data Commons fact-check data feed: ClaimReview markup published by each fact-checker (compilation CC BY; each review's own licence in its sdLicense).
