AP Fact Check, the Associated Press's fact-checking desk Useful because it reaches you through coverage you already read. AP Fact Check comes from the same wire service that supplies local newspapers and broadcasters, so its checks of speeches, campaign claims and viral posts often turn up inside everyday news reports rather than on a separate fact-checking site. Read the whole piece rather than the headline: AP's checks are written as news stories that explain what a claim gets wrong. Its fact-checking deal with Meta ended in January 2024, a year before Meta wound down its US program, so its US work has not depended on that money since.
