Stealth Edit Tracker
Headlines you weren’t supposed to remember.
News outlets quietly rewrite headlines after publication to walk back claims, soften framing, or fix mistakes without an audit trail. Paste any URL — we’ll pull every archived version from the Internet Archive and show you exactly how it’s been edited, when, and how many times. Free forever. The receipts don’t expire.
Why this matters
01
No public correction log.
Most outlets have no policy for marking edits to live articles. The original framing — sometimes the original CLAIM — vanishes silently.
02
Search engines remember.
Even when a headline is rewritten, Google might still index the old one. Half the country sees one version, half sees another, and nobody knows there were two.
03
You can’t fact-check what was deleted.
When a reporter walks back a quote by quietly removing it from the live article, the silent deletion is the story. We surface it.
