This is the legal statement at the bottom of the web site factmyth.com

“Citation. We attempt to use reasonable practices for citing sources, however our website does not have strict guidelines beyond posting a link in the research section of a given factoid. It should be assumed that any information not specifically annotated has come from the resources cited on a page or was found on Wikipedia.org, Google.com, or Bing.com.”

If we trust google and wikipedia to be be 100% honest with us, we should trust factmyth.com.

No where in my post did I say that we are to trust anything and everything on it. I tried to plainly label it that it is telling the “other side - or rest of” the story. Feel Free to skip it.

I did a large deep dive on this issue of the DC, Inc. years before the 2016 election even. I did not use any of the fact checking sites at that time. The computer I had then crashed, and I had no back up-so could not provide that.

I scanned this site, and it seemed to have a fairly inclusive amount of those points. I don’t generally use google, I use the duck. As for Wikipedia, it’s often a good place to begin to get a summary, but a person has to use their own research skills and discernment.

I do not accept anything at face value from any source and always seek additional sources before deciding what I believe to be accurate.

I would expect others to do the same. I believe that website is a good starting point for a beginning investigation - not the be all and end all.

I trust no one who writes anything at this point, unless I have had years of experience with them.

I feel that link provides some valuable information that is contrary to what I have been seeing spouted. A good place to understand the counter argument and things to investigate further. YMMV.
