Base Claim:
1. A method programmed in a non-transitory memory of a device comprising: a. automatically analyzing target information; b. automatically parsing the target information into segments and prioritizing the segments so a highest priority segment is fact checked first, wherein priority is based on a provider of the target information, wherein if the provider of the target information has a validity rating less than a first validity threshold, then the segments of the target information from the provider are prioritized in a highest priority group, and if the provider of the target information has the validity rating greater than or equal to the first threshold and less than a second threshold, then the segments of the target information from the provider are prioritized in a second highest priority group which has a lower priority than the highest priority group, and if the provider of the target information has the validity rating greater than or equal to the second threshold, then the segments of the target information from the provider are prioritized in a third highest priority group which has a lower priority than the second highest priority group; c. automatically fact checking the target information by comparing the target information with source information to generate a result, wherein comparing includes at least one of: i. searching for an exact match of the target information in the source information and returning the exact match search result of the exact match search if the exact match is found; ii. utilizing pattern matching for fact checking and returning the result of the pattern matching fact check if a pattern matching result confidence score is above a pattern matching result confidence threshold; and iii. utilizing a natural language search for fact checking and returning the result of the natural language fact check if a natural language result confidence score is above a natural language result confidence threshold; and d. automatically presenting a status of the target information in real-time based on the result of the comparison of the target information with the source information.

Claim 11:
11. The method of claim 1 further comprising parsing the segments into words, counting the number of words in each segment, and comparing each segment with the source information containing one more word than the number of words in the segment being compared.
