All ocurrences of word 'demagog' were removed from the statements to avoid information contamination. Evidence article links were scraped from the internet and processed using the [extractus/article-extractor](https://github.com/extractus/article-extractor) library to obtain their contents. #### Annotation process The source of the statements and the annotation is [Demagog](https://deamgog.cz/). Refer to their website for more information on the fact-checking process and methodology. ## Bias, Risks, and Limitations The source of the statements and the annotation is [Demagog](https://deamgog.cz/). Refer to their websites for more information on the fact-checking process and methodology. The manually and automatically subsets are part of the experimental work and thus should be treated with caution, as both have high probability of containing bias. ## Citation **BibTeX:** ``` @online{nguyen2025factual, author = {Nguyen, Hai Phong}, title = {Factual checking and reliability of sources from open media}, year = {2025}, note = {Bachelor's thesis.
