Check the Claims and the Framing

The Political Fact-Checking Tool for Everyone
BSmeter gives anyone a fast, claim-by-claim first pass on political videos — no journalism degree required. It's AI-generated, so it works best alongside professional fact-checkers, not instead of them.
Fact-Check Political Speeches
Paste any political speech, debate clip, or campaign ad from YouTube, TikTok, or Instagram Reels into BSmeter. BSmeter transcribes the content, identifies the verifiable claims, scores each one 0-100, and searches for evidence sources on the weakest one (the 3 weakest on Basic and Premium) — using the same approach no matter which party is speaking.
Verify News Coverage
Political news moves fast — and misinformation spreads faster. BSmeter analyzes claims made in news segments, interviews, and political commentary videos, labeling unsupported assertions, misleading statistics, and cherry-picked data.
Analyze Podcast & Interview Claims
Many political claims first surface in long-form podcasts and interviews where they're harder to fact-check manually. BSmeter handles long-form audio too (Premium covers videos up to 3 hours), identifying the verifiable claims, scoring them, and finding sources for the weakest one (the 3 weakest on Basic and Premium).
Three Analysis Modes for Politics
Roast mode (uncensored and joke-first) skewers manipulative rhetoric in political arguments. Analyze mode delivers a neutral claim-by-claim breakdown with a logical-fallacy pass. Learn mode explains why a claim scored the way it did and how common misinformation tactics work.

Frequently Asked Questions About Political Fact-Checking
Everything you need to know about using BSmeter to verify political claims.
What is political fact-checking and how does BSmeter do it?
Political fact-checking is the process of verifying claims made by politicians, campaigns, news outlets, and political commentators. BSmeter is an AI tool, with a free plan, that gives you a fast first pass on video and podcast content. Paste a YouTube, TikTok, Instagram Reel, or podcast link featuring political content, and BSmeter identifies the verifiable claims, scores each one 0-100, labels the framing move behind it, and searches for evidence sources on the weakest claim (the 3 weakest on Basic and Premium). It's AI-generated and can be wrong, so read the sources before you rely on it.
Is BSmeter's political fact-checking biased toward any party?
BSmeter applies the same scoring and framing labels to every speaker, regardless of party, and it looks at how claims are supported and presented — not which side they favor. It is still an AI model, and AI models can make mistakes or reflect biases, which is why the sources are shown so you can check the reasoning yourself.
Can BSmeter fact-check political debates and speeches in real time?
BSmeter analyzes recorded videos, not live broadcasts, and analysis time depends on the video's length. Once a debate or speech is posted, paste the link — or use the Chrome or Firefox extension to see BSmeter results on YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram.
What types of political content can BSmeter analyze?
BSmeter analyzes YouTube, TikTok, Instagram Reel, and podcast/audio links with spoken claims: political speeches, campaign ads, debate clips, news segments, political interviews, commentary videos, political TikTok content, press briefings, and hearings — within your plan's length limit (30 minutes on the free plan, 60 on Basic, 3 hours on Premium). It transcribes the audio and scores the claims it finds.
How does political fact-checking help fight misinformation?
False news can outrun the truth — a 2018 MIT study of Twitter found false stories reached people about six times faster than true ones, with political falsehoods spreading fastest — and AI-generated media makes it harder to tell what's real. Tools like BSmeter help in three ways: (1) Speed — a claim-by-claim read without waiting for a published fact-check; (2) Coverage — you choose what to check, not an editor; (3) Accessibility — a free plan anyone can use. BSmeter checks claims; it does not detect deepfakes or AI-generated media.
Is BSmeter suitable for journalists and political researchers?
It can be a useful first pass. BSmeter quickly pulls out a video's claims and framing and surfaces sources for the weakest claim (the 3 weakest on Basic and Premium), which helps you decide what to dig into. It's AI-generated and can be wrong, so verify against primary sources before publishing anything.
