Fact-Checking sites can be particularly useful for learning the truth. Fact-Checking sites will cross-reference information and decide whether or not it is true. These websites are particularly useful following major news events, debates, speeches, or other public appearances from politicians.
The International Fact-Checking Network is a unit of the Poynter Institute dedicated to bringing together fact-checkers worldwide. The IFCN was launched in September 2015 to support a booming crop of fact-checking initiatives by promoting best practices and exchanges in this field. (https://www.poynter.org/ifcn/)
Below are examples of several fact-checking sites, several of which are identified in this article from The Daily Dot: "The Best Political Fact-Checking Sites on the Internet."
