(Engadget) This year’s US presidential election is one of the most acrimonious in memory, with not a day going by without one campaign accusing the other of outrageous falsehood (some more than others). With one month to go until the country casts its votes, Google has started to specifically tag fact-checking articles on Google News to help readers decipher the truth from the outrageously false accusations and untruths.
When you visit Google’s news site or use the Google “News and Weather” app for iOS and Android, you’ll see fact-checking articles included alongside pieces of news, specifically labeled as such. The fact-check tag joins existing news tags like “opinion,” “in-depth” and “highly cited.”
