When PolitiFact happened to vindicate our complaint about the International Fact-Checking Network’s evaluation of a challenged Health Feedback (Science Feedback) fact check, Zebra Fact Check sent an email to the IFCN pleading for improved transparency and movement toward reform.
Update Aug. 2, 2022: Supplied a missing apostrophe. Also note that we received an automated reply from Poynter’s Neal Brown (to whom we cc’d the message). Brown’s automated reply promised he “will respond when I return on Monday, July 18.” So far we have received no reply, but Brown did not specify a year.
