Polygraph.info is a United States Government funded website launched by Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty and Voice of America.[1] A three-person team around senior Daily Beast editor Michael Weiss, assigned until 2016 to The Interpreter magazine, was kept on the Voice of America payroll until February 2017 for the then-new website.[2] The website presents itself as a fact-checking website. A similar website in Russian language is factograph.info.[3]
Of the types of western responses to the challenge of Kremlin media (exposure of Russian disinformation, engagement with endangered populations, enhancement of local media), the site is in the category "exposure of Russian disinformation", next to the Ukrainian StopFake and the European Union EEAS East Strategic Communication Task Force's Disinformation Review campaigns.[4]
The site is not currently directed to US audiences.[5]
