History

Today I Found Out is a fact-based website with the tagline “Feed Your Brain.” According to their about page, they were: “founded on January 1, 2010, based on the idea that it is always good to learn something new every day. Today I Found Out features near-daily “interesting fact” articles from various, extremely well-credentialed authors. In the extremely rare instances where something is found on this site that isn’t perfectly accurate, we also re-research the topic at hand and update or clarify some point as necessary.”

In review, Today I Found Out is not a political site. Almost all of the interesting facts they publish are related to history. Each interesting fact is well researched and appropriately sourced to credible information. There is also little use of loaded language such as: WHO INVENTED BASEBALL? A factual search reveals that they have not failed a fact check. They also have a podcast called The Brainfood Show and a Youtube channel.
