Crank Report is an independent digital archive and verification project dedicated to fact-checking public claims regarding high-profile legal cases, litigation, and public relations campaigns. Our primary mission is to provide a central repository of primary source evidence to verify or debunk widely circulated narratives.
Our Mission
In an era of “litigation by media,” public perception is often shaped outside the courtroom through strategic public relations and “crisis management” campaigns. We believe that facts are the best defense against misinformation. Our goal is to ground public discourse in certified records rather than curated spin.
Our Methodology
To ensure the highest level of accuracy, every fact-check published on this site follows a strict evidentiary protocol:
Primary Source Grounding: We do not rely on third-party reporting or rumors. Verdicts are based on primary documents, including court transcripts, signed affidavits, public filings, and certified records.
Traceability: Every fact-check includes direct citations and, where possible, links to the original documents so that readers can verify our findings for themselves.
Neutrality: Our analysis is strictly limited to the veracity of specific, verifiable claims. We distinguish between subjective opinion and objective fact.
Research Tools: We utilize advanced research technologies, including AI-assisted document analysis to ensure comprehensive cross-referencing of large-scale legal archives.
Corrections Policy
Accuracy is our first priority. If we have made a factual error, we are committed to correcting it immediately.
Reporting Errors: If you believe a fact-check contains an inaccuracy, please contact us [Link to a neutral Contact Form] with a link to the primary source evidence that contradicts our finding.
Transparency: All corrected articles will include a dated “Correction” note at the top of the post explaining what was changed.
Organization and Funding
Crank Report is a self-funded, independent project. We do not accept funding from political organizations, legal parties involved in the cases we cover, or any entity that would create a conflict of interest. Our independence ensures that our verdicts are dictated solely by the evidence.
