RANDOM TRUTH - 10 Fact Checking Sources

The internet is full of lies.  Here are places to help find the truth.

No site is 100% but the following sites show their research and sources, as opposed to say a random reshare or web claim.  I don't recommend relying solely on these sites for accurate information, but they are a good start.

GENERAL DEBUNKING SITES.

Snopes

• The most famous debunking site.
• The reliability has been attacked recently on political ground, but the most of the claims of bias have been proven false.

Hoax Slayer

• Debunks common email hoaxes and scams.

The Skeptic's Guide.

• Website of The Skeptic's Guide to the Universe podcast.
• A podcast rather than a reference, but worth listening to to help critical thinking and looks skeptically at current stories.

The Straight Dope.

• Answers factual questions.

Truth or Fiction.

• Another great debunking site.

SPECIFIC TOPICS

Science Based Medicine (Health & Medicine)

• Medical and health articles by scientist and doctors based on research, rather than by anecdotes and gut feeling spread by people trying to sell something.
