written for kids, and the site gets really in depth! But they're really clear about the truth (or falsehood)
of what people are saying.

outlets. The scale goes from True to Pants-on-Fire, with the option to read more.
Snopes

to politics and news, there's a lot here! Be sure to stay focused and don't get distracted.

This one isn't actually a fact-checking site. Instead, it's a tool you can use yourself, to fact-check things
you find online. Like an internet time machine, this site lets you see how a website looked, and what it
said, at different points in the past. You won't find everything here, but there's still a lot to discover.
