# Fact-check and editorial guide

## Thabo & Ray

Use the official YouTube channel title and creator-controlled channel description after synchronization. The channel is featured for public-interest discussion; do not imply endorsement.

Third-party reports identify Ray as Kim Raymond Feaste and describe Thabo as a vervet monkey. The reported origin of Thabo is disputed. Publish both the creator's account and the challenge, or omit the disputed origin story. Do not present either account as conclusively established without additional primary evidence.

## Videos

A video title or allegation is not a campaign finding. Keep the original YouTube title and description visible, then add campaign analysis in a separately labeled field only after source review.

## Dooly and Turner County

Dooly County is the correct spelling. It was created in 1821, named for Colonel John Dooly, and has Vienna as its county seat. Turner County is separate. The Georgia Sheriffs' Association lists Andy Hester as Turner County sheriff. Preserve the exact jurisdiction for each event.

## Joseph C. Polito

The official Illinois order establishes frequent pornography access on a Will County work computer during work hours, admissions, knowledge of policy, an uncontroverted addiction and treatment, and a 60-day unpaid suspension. It also explicitly states there was no evidence the conduct affected his ability to perform judicial duties. Publish both sides of that official finding.

“Judge Pornlito” is political satire/nickname, not an official name or finding. Never use it in structured data, legal citations or factual headlines.

## Polls

Label all page polls non-scientific and self-selected. Publish sample size and collection dates. Never describe website poll results as representative of voters generally.
