Snopes
In July 2024, Snopes introduced "FactBot," an "artificial intelligence (AI) tool to fact-check your burning questions about online rumors."
In 2021, we wrote about an example of Snopes attempting to fact-check a subjective claim about Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders and U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez used a private jet to travel between Bakersfield and Sacramento, California, during their "Fighting Oligarchy tour."
Rating: True
Neither Sanders nor Ocasio-Cortez own private jets — they chartered flights on a private jet. There were no commercial flights between Bakersfield and Sacramento, California, where the two held two separate rallies on the same day. Driving that distance would have taken around five hours, meaning the logistics would have been nigh-impossible to manage without taking a charter flight.
