Fact-Checking Pattern Taxonomy
This taxonomy classifies patterns referenced by independent fact-checking organizations to support structured analysis.
Pattern Categories
| Category | Definition |
|---|---|
| Narrative Amplification | Repetition of partially contextualized claims across multiple public channels |
| Selective Framing | Presentation emphasizing certain verified elements while omitting critical context |
| Recycled Claim | Previously debunked claim resurfacing in altered form |
| Misattribution | Assigning statements or actions to incorrect sources |
Source Requirements
Each categorized instance must explicitly cite at least one independent fact-checking entity or primary disproof documentation.
Ethical Safeguard
No personal attacks; focus on claim structures and public dissemination mechanics.
