this is silly.

first: "Trump alleges 'stunning' Chinese election interference, deep state coverup" FALSE

is of course incorrect, because Trump did in fact say that. So that statement is correct.

“China interfered with elections” is a different statement. Yes, it matters.

And your assessment follows simply from whom you chose to believe. There is no objective truth here, there are just two statements, one short by POTUS, one long, but without more substance, from NIC, which is not a bias free body.

Choose whom you believe and “truth” follows.

Useless.

You'll see that the fact-checking is backed up by actual reads of intelligence reports (https://www.dni.gov/files/ODNI/documents/assessments/ICA-dec...) and previous analysis.

You are highlighting _exactly_ the problem being solved. People often read these articles not knowing WHO to believe, because there's often no hard evidence behind the article. This platform attempts to solve that problem by doing the digging and analyzing the actual sources.
