What CNN Fact Check is

CNN Fact Check is a fact-checker — CNN "Facts First" unit. nwsly does not include it in the source pool the app builds your daily five from; this page exists as a bias-and-factuality reference for readers comparing it against the outlets nwsly does cite.

Where CNN Fact Check lands

nwsly places CNN Fact Check at Left with a factuality rating of Mostly Factual, using the same two-layer method we apply to every source — cross-referenced against AllSides, Media Bias/Fact Check, and Ad Fontes, then reconciled in-house. Our full methodology is public.

Why this is a reference page, not a source

nwsly's product is a finite daily brief synthesized from straight-news reporting. Fact-checkers like CNN Fact Check sit outside that remit — so we rate them for transparency without drawing coverage from them. See every source we do use.
