Documented, Not Adjudicated

Six statements documented without a verdict.

We adjudicate only claims that can be checked against existing evidence. Claims that assert future events (predictions) or express value judgments (opinions) are documented with their evidence but receive no verdict. The six statements below were reclassified on review. Each keeps its full evidence page, and none is counted among the 322 adjudicated false claims above. How we classify →

Right of Reply

The subject's voice is part of the record.

Before any fact-check is published, we notify a designated public contact for the subject and offer a standing right of reply. We commit to publishing any response we receive, verbatim and in full, alongside the original fact-check.

The offer remains open after publication. If the subject's representatives provide a response weeks or months after a fact-check has gone live, we add it to the page within 24 hours of receipt. The record is alive, not closed.

How right of reply works
  • 1 Pre-publication notification. The subject's designated contact receives the verbatim statement, our proposed fact-check, and the supporting evidence, at least 24 hours before publication.
  • 2 Standing verbatim publication. Any response is published verbatim and in full alongside the fact-check, with clear attribution.
  • 3 Post-publication updates. If a response is received after publication, it is added to the fact-check page within 24 hours.
  • 4 No editorial gatekeeping. We do not edit, summarize, or characterize the subject's response. The reader weighs it alongside our evidence.
