• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

IMO, It’s time to let the cat out of the bag on “Fact Check”, formerly requiring a gymnastic search towards confirmation, is now an A.I. hijack victim, also capable of manufacturing feeds.

Am I in the ballpark?

Can you elaborate? Do you mean a specific website called "Fact Check", or do you mean the process of checking claims against what's published by well-known newspapers, organizations like the NIH and NHS, and so on?
I think I can. To my understanding, there are many fact checkers as well as a number of fact checker - checkers. Normally, associated with longstanding news orgs as well as stand alone FC companies.

"Am I in the ballpark?"

To the extent that I understand you, no.

We can, with diligence and reliance on expert sources, come to know the truth about facts in many cases. Certainly not all cases. But in many cases, there is a truth to the matter, and we can determine what it is, and justify our belief that it is a fact.
