03 / The evidence

Don’t just
take our word.

A conclusion is only useful if you can see what’s behind it. We link to the evidence so you can take a closer look, too.

Start at the source

Original beats
repeated.

Records, research, full statements. We look for where a claim began, not just where it was shared.

Look at the whole picture

Context changes
the story.

A real quote can still be misleading. Dates, missing details, and what a source actually proves all matter.

Leave room for uncertainty

Sometimes,
we don’t know yet.

When the evidence is thin or conflicting, that belongs in the conclusion—not in the fine print.

04 / Why I built FakeNewsZero.com

See what holds up.
See how we know.

I built FakeNewsZero.com to make it easier to check how credible information is. It breaks each claim into parts, weighs the available evidence, and shows you how the conclusion was reached.

What can I check?

Paste a factual claim, a social post, or a link to an article. Specific claims work best. For a photo or video, describe the claim you want checked; the input currently accepts text and links.

Does a high score mean it’s definitely true?

No. The score summarizes the evidence found for a claim. It is not a probability or a guarantee. Read the conclusion, the breakdown, and the sources together.

How does the scoring model work?

First, the system splits a statement into atomic factual claims, scores each part, and combines the results according to importance. Confidence is limited when the available evidence cannot support a stronger conclusion. Read the full scoring methodology →

What if there isn’t enough evidence?

We tell you what remains unconfirmed. A lack of evidence does not automatically make a claim false, and predictions cannot be confirmed before they happen.

How are the checks made?

FakeNewsZero.com uses AI and web search to break down claims and assess available evidence. It can make mistakes. Each result includes sources to help you review its reasoning.

Your next “wait, really?”Let’s check it.

A claim. A closer look. A clearer answer.
