We compare what the media report with what the data say
People and entities
Who appears in the news, in how many stories and in which outlets; each profile has its timeline (with older stories from the archive), who they appear with, what they say and which of their claims we checked.
Automatic extraction: names from our curated registry and proper names found in the text (a discovered entity is published once at least 2 outlets name it). A sentence is attributed to a speaker only with a reporting verb or "according to". Archive stories come from the GDELT archive and are only cited: headline, date and link.
