Fact checking articles against the Politifact database: a moderately breathless article [
truth goggles?] gets listed on
HNN, of course, but then turns up at
LanguageLog as well, leading to a reference to the failed commercial venture
Spinoculars (nothing to do with this research, just a general similarity in goals).
Consensus seems to be that it's still a neat idea, and still probably impossible to do without being rather brittle. The research project appears to be using keywords to reference particular claims, which is really not a bad start.
There's just a boatload of things you could do in this arena.
