Check a claim before you share it

Quick test

Do you believe this?

Eight pairs. Each pair covers the same event two ways. One version would survive a check. The other carries one specific defect that has a name.

Why these headlines are invented

The obvious way to build this exercise is to mix real headlines with fabricated ones attributed to real outlets. We will not do that. A convincing fake headline carrying a real publisher's name is exactly the artefact this site exists to oppose, and it would outlive this page the moment someone screenshots it.

So both headlines in every pair are invented, neither is attributed to anyone, and they describe fictional local events. The skill being tested is identical: spot the missing denominator, the unverifiable screenshot, the loaded verb, the self-selected sample.
