The Daily Caller's "Check Your Fact" program has joined the International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN) at the Poynter Institute. This move allows the organization to participate in Facebook and Google's third-party fact-checking initiatives. The discussion critiques the "Ministry of Truth" nature of centralized fact-checking and the decline of in-house verification in traditional journalism.

The International Fact-Checking Network, which oversees Facebook's partners, receives financial support from George Soros and the Bill Gates Foundation. Primary organizations involved in this network include Snopes, the Poynter Institute, and ABC News. Critics argue that these entities may use the "fake news" label to target partisan content or unconventional political views rather than strictly false information.

Google announced it will begin labeling search results with a "fact-check" tag, powered by the International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN) at the Poynter Institute. The IFCN is funded by organizations including the National Endowment for Democracy and Pierre Omidyar’s network. The hosts compare this to "Snopes on steroids" and argue it is a globalist tool to delegitimize dissent before the 2016 election.
