Science Feedback

The specialist for health, climate and science claims. Instead of a newsroom generalist, Science Feedback has editors who are scientists or science journalists, and it recruits outside researchers with expertise in the field to score an article's credibility on accuracy, logic and precision. Its sister sites, Health Feedback and Climate Feedback, are the ones to check for viral vaccine or climate stories. It is a not-for-profit registered in France. Its scientific judgments have been contested in court. Journalist John Stossel sued Meta and Science Feedback over labels on his videos about wildfires and climate change, and in 2022 a federal judge dismissed the defamation suit.
