Dan Schultz is developing software that would highlight suspicious claims in news articles and provide a link to the basic facts. Andrew Phelps has more:
[Schultz] wants to embed critical thinking into news the way we embed photos and video today: "I want to bridge the gap between the corpus of facts and the actual media consumption experience." … The software is being designed to detect words and phrases that show up in PolitiFact’s database, relying on PolitiFact’s researchers for the truth-telling. "It’s not just deciding what’s bullshit. It’s deciding what has been judged," he said. "In other words, it’s picking out things that somebody identified as being potentially dubious."
