The left-wing PolitiFact hacks worked overtime to gaslight Americans on the deleterious effects of President Joe Biden’s student debt forgiveness scam.

PolitiFact took a swipe at multiple criticisms of Biden’s irresponsible student debt policy on Aug. 26. The “fact-check” required three authors and came after Biden announced a legally dubious plan to cancel $10,000 in student loan debt for anyone making less than $125k (or $250k for couples filing jointly).

In one portion of the 921-word article, PolitiFact targeted National Review for daring to share an estimate by the National Taxpayers Union Foundation (NTUF) that found that the average cost of Biden’s plan per taxpayer would be over $2,000 and said it “leaves out some details.”

Cato Center for Educational Freedom Director Neal McCluskey bluntly stated his view of PolitiFact’s senseless fact-check in an exclusive interview with MRC Business: “Fact-checking this $2,000 estimate is dumb.”

All “fact checkers” are politicial hack morons. It’s the number one qualification to join their “team”.

The only question that needs to be asked is whether all three authors personally benefit from the policy.

Any time a fact-checker is mentioned, the first thing that should come to mind is, liars.

Ain’t such a thing as a fact-checker that is not biased, even ff the fact-checker approaches the issue(s) from a desire to tell the truth and rebut the other side.

I’ve heard of someone having a FakeBook post covered with the fact check sheild for disseminating false medical info. It was a post about the Hopneymooners, of all things. The episode where Ralph thought he was dying from ARTERIAL MONOCHROMIA. A 65 yr old gag. For all their pesudo intellectualism fake checkers are a bunch of ignorant dumbasses.
