Separating fact from fiction is getting harder. Our team of leading fact-checkers investigates news, public data, algorithms, social media posts, public statements of consequence, AI-generated media and even pesky forwards, to discern fact from misinformation through rigorous fact-checking. We use credible sources, transparent methodologies, and often rely on the latest tech tools to do so. We even say we have gotten something wrong when we sometimes do. Follow BOOM, if you like it sloooooooow and want to go beyond the outrage, hype, rhetoric, click-bait headlines, and algorithms hijacking our attention spans.
