At Blackwater Reports, our fact-checking process is designed to deliver clear, accurate, and unbiased answers to the questions and claims that impact our readers. We’ve honed this method over years of behind-the-scenes work, ensuring it’s rigorous, transparent, and free from external influence. Here’s how we do it:

1. Identifying the Claim
   We start by pinpointing the statement or assertion to investigate. This could come from a reader suggestion, a public official’s remark, a viral post on platforms like X, or an article we’ve encountered. We isolate the specific, verifiable elements—dates, numbers, events, or quotes—that form the backbone of the claim.
2. Gathering Primary Sources
   Our team dives into the most authoritative and original sources available. This includes public records (e.g., election results, court documents), official statements, government websites, and firsthand data like video footage or transcripts. We avoid relying on secondary interpretations or opinion pieces, ensuring we’re working from raw facts.
3. Cross-Verification
   We cross-check the claim against multiple independent sources to confirm consistency. For example, if we’re fact-checking an election date, we’ll consult the North Carolina State Board of Elections, county records, and historical voting calendars. If it’s a statistic, we trace it back to its origin—be it a study, report, or database—and verify its context and methodology.
4. Contextual Analysis
   Facts don’t exist in a vacuum, so we examine the broader context. Is the claim technically true but misleading? Does it omit critical details? We analyze intent and framing, using our tools to review linked content, user profiles (when applicable), or uploaded files like PDFs and images, ensuring we capture the full picture.
5. Expert Input (When Needed)
   For complex or technical claims—like legal rulings or scientific data—we may consult subject-matter experts, always verifying their credentials and ensuring their input is evidence-based, not opinion-driven. Our independence means we select experts without ties to third-party agendas.
6. Web and Social Media Search
   To supplement our findings, we scour the web and platforms like X for additional perspectives or primary evidence. This might include contemporaneous posts, news archives, or official announcements, helping us spot discrepancies or corroborate details.
7. Drafting the Conclusion
   Once the evidence is compiled, we draft a clear verdict: True, False, Partially True, or Misleading, depending on the findings. We explain our reasoning step-by-step, citing sources and showing our work so readers can follow the logic. Transparency is key—no black boxes here.
8. Review and Publication
   Every fact-check undergoes an internal review by a second team member to catch errors or bias. After final approval, we publish it on our platforms, including https://x.com/BWRORG, where many of our fact-checks are already available. We keep posts concise but link to fuller explanations when needed.
9. Reader Feedback
   We welcome input from our audience. If new evidence emerges or a reader points out something we missed, we revisit the claim, update our findings if warranted, and acknowledge the correction publicly. Accountability keeps us sharp.

Why It Works

Our process thrives on independence. Without ties to organizations like the Poynter Institute, we’re free to chase the truth wherever it leads, unburdened by external guidelines or pressures. Whether it’s confirming Sheriff Beickert’s election timeline or dissecting a DA’s case ruling, we stick to the facts, not narratives. Check out our work at

According to Pew Research Center data, approximately 58% of voters in the lowest income bracket (household income adjusted to less than $35,900 for a family of three in 2022) align with the Democratic Party, while Republican support is notably lower within this group [Web ID: 0, Forbes Advisor]. Given this, working-class Americans, who often fall into this income category, stand to benefit most from audits that ensure government funds are allocated effectively to programs that directly support their needs, such as education, healthcare, and social services. These audits can help guarantee that taxpayer money is being used in ways that genuinely benefit American communities, particularly those with limited financial resources.

Democrats hype up the first ‘unarmed insurrection’ in history, conveniently glossing over the fact that no Capitol Police officers died from direct attacks that day. Let’s cut through the noise: Officer Brian Sicknick passed the next day from natural causes—strokes, officially—not riot injuries, though the stress might’ve played a part. Then there’s Officers Smith and Liebengood, who took their own lives days later, and two Metro cops, Hashida and DeFreytag, who did the same months after—tragedies tied to the fallout, not the fight. No one died by a rioter’s hand on January 6. The ‘insurrection’ body count? Zero from direct violence. Spin it how you want, but those are the facts.
