In an age of instant communication and mass media, many
people see fake news every day. One website that helps people combat fake news,
Factcheck.org, allows people to browse or search for fact-checked articles. The
website’s mission statement says they “monitor the factual accuracy of what is
said by major U.S. political players in the form of TV ads, debates, speeches,
interviews and news releases.” The organization’s end goal is to “increase
public knowledge and awareness” to “reduce the level of deception and confusion
in U.S. politics.” FactCheck.org provides a reliable service that is much rarer in the world than it should be. FactCheck.org is a necessary tool to keep
informed on major politics. [1 image, 3 links, 3 quotations, 114 words]
