Fact check: When was factually.co founded and by whom?

1. Summary of the results

There appears to be confusion between two different fact-checking organizations:

• Factually Health was founded by a team of four professionals: Lina Forcier (Ph.D. in epidemiology), Genevieve Poliquin, Leo Hartman (Ph.D. in computer science and AI), and Lucas Nogueira ^[1]. The exact founding date is not specified in the sources.
• FactCheck.org, a different organization, was founded in December 2003 by Brooks Jackson, a former reporter for Associated Press, Wall Street Journal, and CNN ^[2].

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

• FactCheck.org's creation was initiated when Kathleen Hall Jamieson of the Annenberg Public Policy Center approached Brooks Jackson about forming the website ^[2]
• FactCheck.org is affiliated with the Annenberg Public Policy Center of the University of Pennsylvania ^[3]
• Factually Health was specifically created as an AI-powered platform focused on health information ^[1], while FactCheck.org was created to monitor factual accuracy in American politics ^[3]

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

• The original question is too vague as it doesn't specify which fact-checking organization it's referring to
• This vagueness could lead to confusion between different fact-checking organizations, each with distinct:
• Founding dates
• Missions (health information vs political fact-checking)
• Organizational structures (tech startup vs academic institution)
• Target audiences (healthcare information seekers vs political information consumers)

It's worth noting that institutional backing can influence an organization's focus and credibility - FactCheck.org benefits from academic credibility through its Annenberg affiliation, while Factually Health leverages its founders' technical and medical expertise.
