"The Science Feedback association is a not-for-profit organisation registered in France whose mission is defined in its status as to improve the credibility of science-related information online, in the media and on social media. The association notably acts through:
the organising of scientists’ response to influential information by verifying facts and scientific theories,
the writing of pedagogical content and critical commentary of science media coverage,
the development of numerical services as well as contributions to raising awareness about misinformation to tackle its negative impacts on democratic societies.
Our reviews are written by editors who are scientists or science journalists and abide by strict editorial standards. Editors rely on the best available evidence, notably the peer-reviewed scientific literature and scientists who contribute to our analyses (reviewers). Reviewers are chosen for their domain expertise, notably verified by having recently published articles in top-tier peer-reviewed science journals, and are asked to conform to high quality community standards."

"We are a nonpartisan, nonprofit “consumer advocate” for voters that aims to reduce the level of deception and confusion in U.S. politics. We monitor the factual accuracy of what is said by major U.S. political players in the form of TV ads, debates, speeches, interviews and news releases. Our goal is to apply the best practices of both journalism and scholarship, and to increase public knowledge and understanding.
FactCheck.org is a project of the Annenberg Public Policy Center of the University of Pennsylvania.

"From the beginning, PolitiFact focused on looking at specific statements made by politicians and rating them for accuracy. PolitiFact is run by the editors and journalists who make up the PolitiFact team. No one tells us what to write about or how to rate statements. We do so independently, using our news judgment."
"PolitiFact is owned by the nonprofit Poynter Institute for Media Studies, and PolitiFact's editor-in-chief and executive director report to the Poynter president. PolitiFact had been owned by the Tampa Bay Times, but in 2018 direct ownership of PolitiFact was transferred from the Times to Poynter, which is the newspaper’s parent company. The move allows PolitiFact to function fully as a not-for-profit national news organization."
"Nelson Poynter was also the founder of Congressional Quarterly, a news organization covering Congress in Washington, D.C., that the Poynter Institute owned until 2009"
