How It Works
From a link to a credibility verdict in seconds
Fact or Fiction News reads a news article or video for you, weighs the evidence behind its claims, and gives you a clear, explained credibility score. You stay in control: every verdict shows its reasoning so you can judge for yourself.
The four steps
- Paste a link or text. Drop in the URL of an article, or a YouTube, Instagram, Facebook or TikTok video. You can also paste the text directly. We fetch the content for you.
- We analyse the claims. The article is broken down into its key factual claims, which are assessed for support, sourcing, tone and context.
- You get a scored verdict. A headline credibility score is backed by per-claim breakdowns and a plain-English explanation of what drove the result.
- Dig deeper on any claim. Each claim has a "What would verify" box. Click it to run a fresh, web-search-backed review of that single claim, complete with cited sources.
What you can check
- News and opinion articles from any public web page.
- Video content from YouTube, Instagram, Facebook and TikTok, via the spoken transcript.
- Plain text you have copied from elsewhere.
A tool, not a final word. Our scores are designed to help you think, not to replace your judgement. Always verify important claims independently before acting on them.
