An attempt to set the public narrative about what is true by framing individual's or organization's words in either a positive or negative light. Fact checks use labels such as "mostly true" and "mostly false" to frame equivalent statements in a positive or negative light depending on who made them. They also assume implications and intent of the speaker to frame technically correct statements as inaccurate in that the fact checker's own assumed implications were incorrect. When all else fails they use "missing context" to ignore the accuracy of the statement and interject related information to distract from it.
PolitiFact: "We've fact checked Ron Paul's statement about federal income tax being zero before 1913 as half true. There was one for a 10 year period a half century earlier after all"
Critic: "Didn't you fact check an equivalent statement by Jim Web as mostly true though? Oh wait. He's a democrat, isn't he?"
PolitiFact: ;)

Get the check envymug. When you feel a person is “not vibing” viber, you can perform a “vibe check.” This can be anything from shouting “VIBE CHECK!” to slapping someone across the face. It’s an excuse to do absolutely anything to make sure your friends are still vibing.

Get the Vibe Checkmug. A sup check is when the immediate intro of a YouTuber (or other platform) is cut out of every video uploaded and clipped together.
Sup checking somebody can be used to track the progression of somebody’s mood, feelings, current state of mind, as well as hair style over time.
The term was coined by Ethan of h3h3 when discussing a video of Philip DeFranco where every intro, featuring sup, is clipped together.
