Fact Check Florida (not to be confused with, well, PolitiFact Florida) is an electioneering communications organization, or ECO, that supports liberal candidates for local office. In 2013, the group sent out mailers to St. Petersburg residents attacking Mayor Bill Foster.
Fact-checking journalism is the heart of PolitiFact. Our core principles are independence, transparency, fairness, thorough reporting and clear writing. The reason we publish is to give citizens the information they need to govern themselves in a democracy.
In a world of wild talk and fake news, help us stand up for the facts.
