The Memory Hole

The scope, stated

This tool monitors publicly-funded broadcasters: the BBC and Channel 4. You pay for them by law; the law says they must be impartial; we check. Commercial outlets - left and right alike - are out of scope, because nobody is compelled to fund them. Inside the scope the standard is identical: same capture cadence, same checks, no exceptions - the check log is part of the database. This is a chronological feed of individual records. It carries no rankings, no totals, no league table, and never will: an aggregate score is a verdict wearing a spreadsheet.

No amended articles have been published to the feed yet. The capture archive has been running since 16 July 2026; detection passes run daily at ~24 hours and ~7 days after each capture, so the earliest possible entries follow the archive's age. An empty feed means nothing has both changed and cleared review - not that nothing is watched.
