Facts and Fact Checking

Fact checks and fact checkers can still display media bias. Some might even turn out to be fake news, as we saw when President Trump inquired about using disinfectant as a possible coronavirus treatment.

In the face of this "infodemic," AllSides is curating a balanced newsfeed of the latest fact checks from throughout the political spectrum, and balanced facts on hundreds of topics and issues. We've also created a page that specifically displays fact checks and other content related to COVID-19 misinformation.

Read more about why AllSides has a section dedicated specifically to facts and fact checking.
