Company Info
PolitiFact is an American nonprofit project operated by the Poynter Institute. It focuses on fact-checking statements made by elected officials, candidates, their staffs, lobbyists, interest groups, and other public figures involved in U.S. politics. They use a 'Truth-O-Meter' to rate the accuracy of claims, ranging from 'True' to 'Pants on Fire'.
