Where these checks come from
Fact-checking organisations publish their ratings in a shared format called ClaimReview so that others can index them. We use the open feed kept by Data Commons, which is shared under a Creative Commons Attribution licence.
For each check we store the claim, who made it, who checked it, their rating, the dates and the link. We do not copy their articles. The work and the verdicts belong to the organisations named below.
If you run one of these organisations and want an entry changed or removed, write to the desk and we will do it.
