For fact’s sake! I’ve just fact checked your fact checking of the term fact checker and the fact is, checking facts is quite factually a sign the facts as originally presented are facts.
Vile calumny! Distributing crack pipes in the black community–sorry for the racism, I mean Black community–is part of Biden’s grand scheme: Build Back Better.
Don’t these right wing extremists get it: crack pipes are infrastructure. They are just as valuable to America as roads and bridges. This is where America’s tax dollars go….up in smoke.

Who fact-checks fact-checkers? More fact-checkers? And who fact-checks them? The answer is, “fact-checker” is merely a label slapped onto a “journalist”, who now is supposedly more clever, honest, and right-thinking than an ordinary, run-of-the-mill journalist. It’s a scam, and a shameless one.

From the above article it seems that the Free Beacon did not print misinformation, in that what they said was indeed true, however, it doesn’t seem to be the WHOLE truth. There is a tendency for news media reporting, on all sides, to resort to missing out part of the story, and it is only by knowing all the details that readers/listeners/viewers can make up their minds.
Surely this is a long way from the worst example of selective reporting we’ve seen, Linda.
News media report the juicy bits for obvious reasons; likely no one will read screeds of additional but uninteresting information. Perhaps, in this case, they could have included a link to what else is in the government program that no one will read either.
Absolutely, I’ve seen much worse. I started to realise this game many years ago when there was a report in the Telegraph concerning something about which I knew all the details, and I was shocked at what they did. By leaving out vital information anyone reading the report would have been completely led astray. This was the first time I realised this happened; of course, it was only because I knew the details of the story that I was able to know, and I was young and naive and didn’t realise that this happened.
I do remember watching an old comedy (1930s? 1940?) in which one character speaking of journalists said something like – the hand of God reaching down from heaven couldn’t raise one of them to the.depths of depravity. I have often thought it very apposite.

Great follow-up reporting in the service of REAL journalism. You are doing your job, unlike these partisan tools at Snopes CNN and elsewhere.
You should be proud of yourself, Park.

What a wonderful chuckle this morning. Can’t make this stuff up.
I’ve just fact checked the term fact-checker. It’s false. The correct term is propagandist.

Fact off, Facter !
And people wonder why no-one trusts the media or the govt and are willing to listen to ‘alternative’ media’ and ‘conspiracy theorists’?
It’s a sign of the end times.

What like “everything we know about Omicron is bad…”?
Somehow I saw a tweet by D. Trump Junior liked by someone else: crack pipes better than hydroxychloroquine. Something like that.
Fact checking, if you want to call it that, is done by other journalists, a vocation as mistrusted as used car salesmen used to be.
