AP Fact Check

AP Fact Check is a website dedicated to providing accurate information about news and political claims. The site was launched in late 2012, with the goal of helping readers make informed decisions when consuming media, especially during election season. AP Fact Check provides research-based fact checks on statements made by politicians and other public figures across all levels of government throughout the United States.

The team at AP Fact Check includes experienced journalists who have been vetted for accuracy and expertise in their fields. They conduct research using primary sources such as official documents from government agencies or transcripts from speeches given by public officials, among others. Additionally, they use independent non-partisan organizations that specialize in researching facts related to current events and politics such as PolitiFact and Snopes for further verification before publishing their articles online.

When evaluating a claim made by an elected official or another figure within politics, the staff at AP Fact Check look closely not only at what they said but also how it is worded – taking into account nuances like exaggeration or spin that could affect its accuracy rating – so they can provide context along with their assessment of whether it’s true or false (or somewhere in between). After assessing each individual statement separately, these assessments are then compiled into an overall “Truth Meter” score which allows readers to quickly gauge how reliable the source is overall based on this data set alone without needing any additional background knowledge about them specifically . This same methodology applies regardless if it’s a Republican candidate being evaluated or one from the Democratic party; no bias towards either side ever enters play during scoring .

Aside from just providing straight up fact checking services though ,it should be noted that AP Fact check encourages dialogue among different sides of debates through comment sections where those reading can discuss various topics freely provided everyone remains civil . As well there are regular updates posted via social media accounts maintained by both Twitter & Facebook whenever new content becomes available . All feedback received helps guide future coverage directions accordingly too thus making sure everything published stays relevant & interesting even years down line while adhering strictly to standards established initially since launch back 2012 ..
