Just on TV. The top three online "fact check" sites, including Snopes and Politifact, are working for the Clinton campaign. Each has donated as much as one million dollars to Clinton and each fact check function is run by Clinton suck-ups. All the sites have spent most of their time attacking Trump's assertions while avoiding any work to show Clinton's lies.
Anyone who's surprised please raise your hand.

I don’t trust ANY of them. ESPECIALLY the ones that purport to be unbiased. Politifact, Snopes, FactCheck or any of them.
If you want to check the facts, do some damned internet surfing and decide for yourself. You at least have enough sense how to work a computer and keyboard. Use your brain.
Fact checking along with polling are the two biggest propaganda weapons the left owns. Both are meant to shape opinion and drive narratives.

Interesting essay on this topic from about 1970 by Josef Pieper: Abuse of Language Abuse of Power, reflecting on the way language has been abused so that, instead of being a means of communicating the truth and entering more deeply into it, and of the acquisition of wisdom, it is being used to control people and manipulate them to achieve practical ends. Reality becomes intelligible through words. Man speaks so that through naming things, what is real may become intelligible. This mediating character of language, however, is being increasingly corrupted. Tyranny, propaganda, mass-media destroy and distort words. They offer us apparent realities whose fictive character threatens to become opaque.
