Believability Meter Report Card
Even though RealScoop was created for entertainment, are you still curious how well the Believability Meter performs over time? Do you wonder how much you should trust the results? The Believability Meter "Report Card" has your answer.
For each video, we have chosen a defining moment to show what the Believability Meter has to say; for example, Bill Clinton emphatically stating, "I did not have sexual relations with that woman."
The Believability Meter "Snapshot" lets you know if the statement was red (highly questionable), yellow (somewhat believable) or green (believable). The outcome column on the right indicates how the B-Meter performed for each video where we now know what happened. A running percentage of how the Believability Meter's results appear to match real life results is displayed in the top right corner.
