I do this all the time. It's shocking how well it works. A year or two ago suggesting that someone use LLMs for fact checking would get you laughed out of a room, but today the good ones (Fable, GPT-5.6/6) with a search tool enabled are genuinely excellent at this.

They can even retrieve articles you link to and check that you aren't misrepresenting them.

I do something like this with code all the time, “is this idiomatic <foo>?”, I find it very helpful.
