Our Glossary defines terms frequently used in political discourse, media, and fact-checking. Each entry includes the baseline definition, staff commentary, and a change history showing how definitions evolve. It's designed to combat the weaponization of language and establish common ground.
Go to our Contact page and select "Tip Submission." Include the claim, source link, and any relevant context or evidence. Our editorial team reviews all submissions, though we can't fact-check everything or respond to every tip individually.
MISLEADING means the claim contains factual elements but omits critical context, cherry-picks data, or presents information in a way that could deceive. It's technically accurate but practically dishonest. See our Editorial Standards for full details.
We don't fact-check pure opinions ("I think taxes are too high"). We fact-check factual claims embedded in political discourse, even if labeled as "opinion." If someone says "My opinion is that unemployment has tripled" and it hasn't, that's a false factual claim, not a protected opinion.
We prioritize claims that: (1) have wide reach or viral spread, (2) could influence public understanding of important issues, (3) come from influential figures or major media outlets, and (4) are checkable with available evidence. We fact-check all political perspectives equally.
Contact us immediately at our contact page. Provide specific evidence and explain your concern. We take corrections seriously and will investigate promptly. If we made an error, we'll issue a correction and update the fact-check with full transparency.
