新的媒体环境提出了两个问题：在新闻业进行事实核查之前，竞选欺骗是否已经在网络上传播？如果确实存在对声明的认真检查，那么它是否会落在一个过于沉浸在自己的偏见中而看不到过去的观众身上？本文借鉴了安嫩伯格公共政策中心2012年民主政治知识调查机构的证据，认为长期的政治事实核查可以提高选民对候选人在问题上的立场和总统竞选背景事实的看法的准确性。
The new media environment raises two questions: Will campaign deceptions have traveled around the web before journalism has the fact-checking in place to ensnare them? And if diligent checking of claims does exist, will it fall on an audience too enmeshed in its own biases to see past them? This essay draws on evidence from the Annenberg Public Policy Center's 2012 Institutions of Democracy Political Knowledge Survey to argue that long-form political fact-checking can increase the accuracy of voters' perceptions of both candidate stands on issues and the background facts of the presidential race.
