That is a great idea @Craton , I will look up the ones you have listed, but as you say, who checks that those who fact check haven't got their own agenda.
The media is a can of worms, so are organisations that have their own agenda's, that IMO is why if a subject interests you it is important to keep an open mind and listen to both sides of an issue, IMO very few issues are black and white, yet that is how most are presented..

Maybe if we started telling people their brain is an app, they’ll want to use it.
