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

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.

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.

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.

We have to reject the rationale and the purpose of supposed “independence” of many federal agencies.

1st - are they truly independent? No. They are all executive branch agencies, with MOST of them having majorities of their boards chosen by a sitting president and many with their chief executive appointed by the president.

2nd - What is the REAL purpose of the supposed “independence”? That purpose is threefold. First is to accept the pretense that the commissioners of the “independent” agencies come to their roles with NO political agendas in mind. The second is to accept the pretense that for the subject matter of the agency, they are the brightest lights on the planet (merely because they are so appointed AS IF they are). The third leg of the real purpose is to dismiss and avoid actual democratic representative government from INTERFERING what these agencies of supposed “experts” decree.

In sum, the “independent” agencies REAL purpose is a Progressive/Marxist joint purpose of government by decree of supposed “experts” and with true representative government removed from weighing in, examining, and dismissing what they decree.
