About the work

A closer look.

Fact check, claim check, verify a claim. Bring me one thing you keep repeating: a quote, a famous fact, an old family story, a local legend. I go to the record and come back with the verdict, the true version, who first said or wrote it, and the exact part the retelling dropped. Named sources, every time. 48 hours. If the record is too thin to stand on, I say so, and you pay nothing. Sample of my work: Marie Antoinette never said let them eat cake. The line is first tied to her in print in 1843, decades after she died; before her, the same sneer was aimed at Louis XV's daughters. The story moved the words onto the wrong woman, and left them there.
