True85% confidence6 sourcesSep 23, 2026Google, Apple, and Amazon removed the Parler app from their platforms.Said by 2BMultiple tier1 sources confirm that Apple and Google removed the Parler app from their app stores in January 2021, and that Amazon removed Parler from its web-hosting service, which took the platform offline. The claim's core is supported; the nuance is that Amazon's action was to its cloud hosting service rather than an app store, and the post's 'Parlor' is the same app.True90% confidence7 sourcesSep 23, 2026CNN decided not to carry a speech by President Trump live because of his history of misleading and false statements regarding elections and election integrity.Said by CCNN did not carry Trump's July 16, 2026 election-security address live, and anchor John King stated on air that the reason was the president's history of misleading and, in some cases, false statements on elections and election integrity. The claim matches the on-air statement, though CNN also framed the decision as a coverage choice and offered a live stream.Reported in the post, not stated as its own.Can’t tell30% confidence6 sourcesSep 23, 2026The Trump White House removed CNN, MSNBC, and Politico from the White House press pool.Said by CThe claim departs from the passage: the post says the White House removed "CNN and MSN" from the press pool and never mentions Politico, so the added Politico element is not the poster's claim. Sources do support that CNN was removed from the TV pool around September 21 (and that Politico was barred from Air Force One on October 5), but the verdict rests on the extraction-fidelity rule and the claim as posted is not gradable as stated.Can’t tell50% confidence7 sourcesSep 23, 2026Fox News has been a member of the White House press pool rotation since 1997.Said by ATier-1 sources (Reuters, AP, BBC) confirm Fox News is one of the five networks in the White House TV pool rotation, but none gives the year Fox joined, and the only source that addresses entry says the exact year is not pinned down. The 1997 start date is therefore unconfirmed, and since the year is the claim's specific figure, the claim cannot be graded true. The extraction is faithful to the passage, which says Fox has belonged 'since 1997'.Reported in the post, not stated as its own.Can’t tell60% confidence5 sourcesSep 23, 2026Parler had 3 million followers.The claim departs from the passage: the post relays Rep. Devin Nunes saying he had 3 million followers on Parler, a personal following, not a platform-wide count. Sources record Nunes's figure but give no platform-level follower total of 3 million, and reported Parler user numbers are far higher.Can’t tell40% confidence5 sourcesSep 23, 2026Talarico was created in a lab to convince white youths to vote Democrat.The claim is a rhetorical characterization ('created in a lab') from a partisan podcast, not a checkable factual assertion. The post's title does say 'White Youths,' so the extraction matches the title, though the transcript instead names 'white conservative Christians' as the target. No source fact-checks the claim, and the Reason piece's 'grown in a lab' line is a metaphor in opinion writing.
