Kennedy was nominated for the bench in 1987. Factcheck should get their facts right.
Yes. Kennedy was nominated by Reagan in November 1987. Confirmed in early 1988.
Post debate “fact-checking” is one of the most obvious lies of the MSM. If there were simple errors in dates or numbers that needed to be corrected, that could easily be done as a part of news stories.
The reporters know that these ‘fact checks’ are nothing but editorials in which they engage in direct political arguments over the interpretations of facts. And they also know that their opinions are held in so much contempt by the general public, that if they were honest and labeled it as an editorial, ni one would ever read it.
