FactCheck.org
On Extra Extra, FactCheck.org is grouped with center outlets, a placement drawn from the consensus of independent media-bias raters (AllSides, Ad Fontes Media, and Media Bias/Fact Check) rather than our own opinion. Its reliability rating of A reflects a strong track record of factual, well-sourced reporting. That rating is a guide for weighing what you read here, not a verdict on any single article.
We are currently tracking 5 recent articles from FactCheck.org, published over the past 3 days. Recurring themes in its latest headlines include Context.
The best way to use this profile is comparatively. Read FactCheck.org's coverage of a story alongside how outlets on other parts of the spectrum handle the same event — the facts usually overlap, but the emphasis, language, and what gets left out often do not. Other center sources we track include BBC News, Al Jazeera, Associated Press, and Reuters.
