The Huffington post was community noted on X after calling Daniel Penny “accused” instead of “acquitted”. The title of the article is misleading about the gravity of the situation and includes highly biased language, as does the article itself, but the claim is accurate. However, the article further claims that the community note called the tweet “purposefully misleading” and provided further context about the situation, which is not what the current community note on the Huffington post article says.

Be respectful.

There is bound to be disagreement on a site about misinformation. Assume best intentions on everyone's part.

If you are new to factchecking, take some time to learn about it. "How to Factcheck" has some resources for getting started. Even if you disagree with these materials, they'll help you understand the language of this community better.

News Detective is for uncovering misinformation and rumors. This is not a general interest question-answer site for things someone could Google.

Posting

The title is the "main claim" that you're trying to factcheck.

Example:
Factcheck This: Birds don't exist

If possible, LINK TO to the place you saw the claim.

Answering

LINK TO YOUR EVIDENCE or otherwise explain the source ("I called this person, I found it in this book, etc.")

But don't just drop a link. Give an explanation, copy and paste the relevant information, etc.
