THE TARGET
Factual political claims—not conservative opinions.
We look for false statements, misleading framing, cherry-picked numbers, missing context, exaggerated headlines, altered quotations and claims repeated after correction.
Primary records determine the truth. Other news reports help locate evidence, but repetition does not turn a claim into proof.
NORMALIZED ACCOUNTABILITY
