Checking a claim in 5 steps

  1. Find the original. Trace a screenshot or quote back to where it first appeared. Use the Wayback Machine if it was deleted.
  2. Check the photo. Run it through Google Lens or TinEye. Old photos often get reused with new captions.
  3. Go to the record. Court cases, business filings, votes and spending are all public; use the links above.
  4. Check the date. Many false claims are true stories from years ago.
  5. Two sources. Don’t share until a second independent source confirms it.
