The Non-Partisan PolitiFact Alternative
PolitiFact rates political statements on a human-judged Truth-O-Meter, and its selection of what to rate is exactly where accusations of lean — from both sides — take root. BSmeter answers the bias question structurally: it extracts every verifiable claim from any video, scores each 0-100 against cited evidence, and hands you the sources so you can audit the verdict rather than trust a meter. Same rubric for every speaker, on any topic, in minutes.
How it works
Submit the video
Paste any YouTube, TikTok, Instagram Reel, or podcast link at bsmeter.ai, or use the browser extension while you watch. No queue, no editor deciding whether it merits review.
You decide what gets checked
Every claim, one rubric
The AI transcribes the video, isolates each verifiable claim, and runs every one through the same 0-100 evidence scoring, flagging fallacies and deepfake signals.
Uniform scoring across all claims
Audit the evidence
Read each verdict with its sources attached and follow the links yourself. The whole report typically lands within a couple of minutes.
Sources attached so you can check it
What you get
Non-Partisan by Construction
The same 0-100 evidence standard applies whether a claim helps the left or the right. There is no human meter-reading that can lean, and the sources are attached so you can check any score yourself.
One evidence rubric, no meter to tilt
Every Claim, Not a Selection
PolitiFact's team picks which statements to rate. BSmeter's AI extracts every verifiable claim in a video, so coverage is the whole thing, not a curated subset chosen by an editor.
All verifiable claims scored automatically
Audit the Verdict, Skip the Meter
Instead of a Truth-O-Meter you take on trust, each score links to its cited evidence. You follow the sources and decide whether the rating holds.
Cited sources instead of a trusted rating
Any Video, Any Topic
Debates, interviews, campaign clips, viral commentary — and far beyond politics too. BSmeter checks whatever you paste, on YouTube, TikTok, Reels, or podcasts.
Political or not, the same pipeline
Results in Minutes
No waiting for a rating to be researched and published. A full claim-by-claim report lands in seconds to a couple of minutes, while the clip is still circulating.
Full report in minutes, not days
Frequently asked questions
Is BSmeter less partisan than PolitiFact?▾
It is non-partisan by design rather than by editorial intent. Because it applies one evidence-based 0-100 rubric to every claim regardless of who benefits, and because each score cites its sources, there is no human meter to lean and no verdict you have to accept on authority. Where PolitiFact asks you to trust its Truth-O-Meter, BSmeter lets you audit every score yourself.
How is BSmeter different from PolitiFact?▾
PolitiFact publishes human-rated write-ups of selected political statements. BSmeter checks every verifiable claim in any video you give it — political or not — scores each 0-100 against cited evidence, and returns it in minutes with the sources attached. It removes claim selection and replaces the trusted rating with an auditable one.
Does BSmeter only check political claims?▾
No. Politics is one use, but the same pipeline checks health, science, finance, and viral claims in any video. It is evidence-first across every topic, with each claim scored against cited sources you can open.
