About Truth or Fiction
Truth or Fiction publishes articles that examine claims, images, and stories circulating online. Its homepage features fact-check articles on topics such as a purported photograph of alien corpses after a hearing in Mexico, a Reddit-shared screenshot about disability and assets, a mugshot said to show a person involved in a scheme to steal the 2020 election, and claims made during the June 2024 Trump-Biden debate about Social Security. Each fact check identifies the specific claim it examines.
The homepage also includes recipe articles and product reviews, such as reviews of the Apple Watch Ultra and the Rivian R1S, so the site is not limited to fact checks. The homepage excerpt does not describe the editorial methods, sourcing practices, or any usage limits. Pricing is not stated.
