Snopes
About
When misinformation obscures the truth and readers don’t know what to trust, Snopes’ fact-checking and original investigative reporting lights the way to evidence-based and contextualized analysis. We always link to and document our sources so readers are empowered to do independent research and make up their own minds.
A note about Social Media: We encourage you to try and use social media platforms that are open sourced and decentralized (like BlueSky or Mastodon). This is a link to a starter pack of organizations that are currently on BlueSky.
