What this prompt does

Scores any source on four credibility axes
Gives a cite, corroborate, or don't-rely verdict
Explains the call in one line
Points you to a stronger primary source
Judges blogs case-by-case — no blanket bans

Why it works

A fact is only as good as where it came from. Vet the source before you build a claim on it — and judge blogs case-by-case, not with a blanket ban.

Tips for this prompt

Paste the exact URL, not just the outlet name — sharper read.
Feed the specific claim you're citing, not the whole page.
On a 🟠 verdict, chase the primary source it names.
Ask for two alternate primary sources when the first is weak.
Re-run when the date matters — anchor it to today.

5If it flags a weak source, use the stronger one instead
