Does WaPo fact check? Why? They print it even when they know it is a lie. Why bother fact checking?

WaPo is funnier than MAD magazine and has less credibility.

This is Brian Fung, the WaPo "reporter" who made the story up. SMH

Matthew Berry, chief of staff to FCC chair Pai, questioned in a tweet whether the Washington Post fact-checks their articles.

Of course they do, "Alexa, does this match Mr Bezos' requirements?"

The Never-Trump crowd will NEVER fact check rumors or outright lies about Trump.

IMHO, the Washington Post has become so vile and hatefilled, I wouldn’t use it for toilet paper. It must surely be saturated with toxic, venomous carcinogenic substances. How could it NOT be? Therefore, I would personally shy away from even touching the filthy thing. My personal choice.

Yep. And they are calling Pai a hypocrite now for meeting Trump when he denounced Wheeler for meeting with Obama. Except Pai didn’t meet with Trump.

Let’s see. The big O appointed some Demoncrats to the FCC in an effort to control the internet but that did not raise any eyebrows from the lamestream media at that time.

questions over whether the FCC remains truly independent of the White House

If the FCC is "truly independent" of the White House, then it is an unconstitutional entity. The Constitution reposes executive power exclusively in the President.

Yep! Our president is such a bad ass he can handle two scoops at one time. Of course, our media has found a way to use that against him.

Our media is freaking ridiculous

Bingo! And even here, it took 16 comments to see it.

Trump should be telling Pei what to do.

WaPo got what they wanted out of this, what in fact they want out of ALL of their fake news, namely a thousand other outlets will repeat WaPo’s fake news and never bother with repeating WaPo’s subsequent retractions. That way all the folks reading the other thousand repeats will believe the fake news is gospel.
