Journalists And Media Personalities Codexery — Data & Quality

We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.

Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Anna Politkovskaya — Anna Politkovskaya's father was not a founding member of the Special Committee against Apartheid in 1962; that claim is unsubstantiated and likely invented.

Anna Politkovskaya — She was not flying to 'help resolve' the 2004 Beslan school hostage crisis; she was a journalist reporting on the event, not a negotiator or mediator.

Barbara Walters — Walters did not interview every sitting U.S. president and first lady from Richard and Pat Nixon to Barack and Michelle Obama; she missed some during their actual terms (e.g., Gerald Ford as president, Pat Nixon as first lady, Michelle Obama as first lady).

Bill Moyers — Moyers earned a Bachelor of Arts in journalism in 1956 from the University of Texas at Austin, not North Texas State College.

Bill Moyers — Moyers served as associate director of public affairs for the Peace Corps, not as deputy director; the deputy director was Warren W. Wiggins.
