Fact Checker - Source bias adjusted-bias-adjusted fact checking

Example

When a new legislation claim is circulated, Fact Checker examines major news outlets, independent blogs, and other media that report on the claim. It assesses the source bias of each outlet, whether the source is reporting firsthand or citing another source, and the potential influence of the journalist's personal bias on the report.

Scenario

For instance, during election periods, claims about candidates can be rife with bias. This function ensures users understand the potential bias behind the information they read.

Example

If a claim about a health supplement's efficacy is mentioned in an article, the tool does not stop at the initial report. It goes further to check the cited studies or reports mentioned within the article, investigates their publication credibility, and notes any conflicts of interest or biases they may have.

Scenario

This is particularly useful in the health sector where studies might be sponsored by pharmaceutical companies with vested interests, thus affecting the study's impartiality.

Example

When accusations are levied against a corporation for unethical practices, Fact Checker finds and reports the corporation's official statements in response to these accusations. It carefully evaluates the credibility of these responses and contextualizes them within the broader data gathered.

Scenario

This function allows users to see both sides of an issue, such as when a tech company is accused of data breaches. The platform will provide the company's official defense alongside the accusations and evidence presented.
