“I’d rather see journalists subjected to blockchain verification of their reporting...”
So would I, but who could do a subjective review on anything these days. It doesn’t exist. We live under Pravda.
Fact checking is a circle jerk and a fraud.
Liberals fact check against liberal sources, so when conservatives report something liberals self-censor, it is flagged by algorithms as unverified because it isn’t verified against a source liberals consider legitimate.
When liberals do “fact check”, they check every little detail of what conservatives say to be able to say it is partially (at best) or mostly untrue while letting whoppers by the left go unvetted.
