TruthOrFiction.com (or TruthOrFiction.org) is a leading "mythbusting" website[2][3][4][5] about eRumors: urban legends, Internet rumors, e-mail forwards, and other stories of unknown or questionable origin. TruthOrFiction.com was founded by the late Rich Buhler, who was also known as the "Father of Modern Christian Talk Radio."[6]
The topics are meticulously researched, and rated "Truth" or "Fiction," or (when the accuracy is not known with certainty) "Unproven," "Disputed," "Reported to be Truth" or "Reported to be Fiction," or (for partially-true stories) "Truth & Fiction," "Truth But Inaccurate Details," or similar.[7][8]
