Not sure when Fact Checkers started but it wasn’t that long ago. It has never been anything but spin and media propaganda. We need to debunk the entire notion of “FACT CHECKING”.
“Fact Checked” is the label applied to the biggest lies.
Sure. It depends on how you phrase the "fact" in question. FactCheck says the story that Ted Kennedy was on an no-fly watch list is a "MYTH." But think about it a minute: why would the government put a powerful Senator on the list?
No, the real story is that he was prevented from flying because he had the same name as somebody else on the list. That happens to a lot of people and it's a "FACT" that reveals a lot about how no-fly and watch lists are compiled and used.
But FactCheck chooses something that wasn't really a possibility and labels it a "MYTH" to choke off the conversation.
