Fact-Checking Policy & Verification Framework

Fact-checking is fundamental to our editorial reliability:

• Evaluating Public Statements: High-profile claims by political figures, corporations, or viral online content are cross-referenced with official court dockets, statutory registries, peer-reviewed journals, and satellite data.
• Source Vetting: Anonymous tips are accepted only when identity is verified internally by senior editors, with strict evaluations of potential conflicts of interest.
• Grading Context: Context matters. Stories where evidence is partial or contested are explicitly reported with documented caveats.
