About True Source

Truth shouldn't
take days.

The Problem

Misinformation spreads
6x faster than facts.

Traditional fact-checkers are slow, manual, and cover a fraction of what goes viral. By the time a correction is published, millions have already seen the original claim. News outlets themselves are opaque: readers don't know who owns them, what political ties they have, or how the same story is being spun differently across the spectrum.

We see misinformation as a structural problem, not just a content problem. When people can see that an outlet is owned by a political donor pushing a specific narrative, they don't need us to tell them to be skeptical. They reach that conclusion on their own.

Fact-checks arrive in the same thread, in under 60 seconds
