Fact checking sites that don’t check facts, but spin them

“O brave new world, / That has such people in ‘t!”

One progressive ex-fact checker has boldly announced that it’s time to forget about the facts. No one cares about them anyway. “It’s Time to Give Up on Facts,” is the title of her screed.

Liberals can not argue based on facts. They lose every time.

"One progressive ex-fact checker has boldly announced that it’s time to forget about the facts. "

Didn't progressives decide this in the 1950's?

You are correct. Liberals think they can speak things into existence. Wonder who is teaching them that falsehood? The Prince of Lies perhaps?
