About They Lied
Professional fact-checking platform dedicated to exposing political and economic lies through rigorous AI-powered analysis and confrontational methodology.
Our Mission
We believe in holding politicians and media outlets accountable for their statements. Our mission is to expose lies and misinformation by attempting to disprove claims firstusing verifiable facts, legal precedents, and historical data.
Unlike traditional fact-checkers who may give benefit of the doubt, we take a confrontational approach: anything less than 100% verified truth is either misleading or an outright lie.
