ransomnote: You'd think everyone would know by now that 'fact checkers' are owned and operated by the Big Tech censors and their allies. But still, I sometimes get some posting 'Factcheck.org' to me as if I will collapse in shame for posting something that corrupt organization doesn't approve of.
A so-called independent fact-checker website FactCheck.org is exposed to be funded by the same $1.9 billion vaccine lobby group that it is supposed to check. The site is a Facebook partner whose articles are used to censor critical voices on the social media platform. It is headed by the former CDC director, which is again a conflit of interest.
A U.S. congressman Thomas Massie has pointed out a fact that a COVID-19 vaccination “fact-checking” project conducted by Facebook-partnered website is actually funded by a group that holds $1.9 billion in Johnson & Johnson stock. The group is headed by the former CDC director.
U.S. Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky tweeted Saturday, “NOTHING TO SEE HERE … Former director of CDC is now CEO of the foundation that funds FACTCHECK.org’s vaccine fact checking program. Roughly 15% of said foundation’s assets are J&J stock.”
“Bless your heart if you think factcheck.org is an unbiased source of vaccine information,” he continued.
In a screenshot from Factcheck.org attached by Massie, it can be seen that the site explains that it’s SciCheck “COVID-19/Vaccination Project is made possible by a grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation,” which it reveals is worth $53,501.
SciCheck is a section of the FactCheck website that it says “focuses exclusively on false and misleading scientific claims that are made by partisans to influence public policy.”
“Vaccines benefit those who have had COVID-19, contrary to viral posts,” is the title of another recent SciCheck article.
The SciCheck arm of the FactCheck.org site is funded by the group named Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF).
Besser’s bio further explains that he worked as director of the ‘Coordinating Office for Terrorism Preparedness and Emergency Response’ at the CDC, then he joined ABC News in 2009, where he was the chief health and medical director.
“He also served as acting director of the CDC from January to June 2009, during which time he led the CDC’s response to the H1N1 influenza pandemic.”
Readers of GreatGameIndia would remember how the WHO faked the H1N1 pandemic a decade ago on behalf of the vaccine lobby.
Interestingly, while Factcheck.org has directly denied Rep. Massie’s accusation of bias in the article, “SciCheck and our Commitment to Transparency,” it ignores the possibility of bias stemming from Besser’s former role at the CDC.
FactCheck.org defended itself against Rep. Massie’s accusation of bias, saying, “Contrary to Massie’s suggestion, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation — as is the case with all of our funders — has no control over our editorial content. Period. Full stop.”
However, Massie nowhere says that RWJF has “control” over the editorial content of FactCheck.org. It is commonly acknowledged that outside parties can exercise influence upon an organization in a more indirect manner, such as through quid pro quo exchanges.
It is also noteworthy that FactCheck.org partnered with Facebook “shortly after the 2016” allegedly in order to “debunk hoaxes and malicious falsehoods posted on the social media site,” according to the University of Pennsylvania Almanac.
For extensively exposing the Vaccine lobby, GreatGameIndia is being targeted and being accused of spreading misinformation for the flimsy reason that our tweets were shared widely after the controversy.

I look at every source now as liars.
I looked up Liberty Counsel on the charities rating. NO rating, guess why? Insufficient data.
I looked up their tax filings / reports. Hardly any of their money goes to administration but they do spend a lot on what they call Education / outreach of some kind. I’ll try to learn more.
Insufficient data for an organization that has been around for 30 years? Really, come on.
Liars. I’ll never trust another thing the charity rating group writes.
We are surrounded by liars, bias and controllers of one kind or another. It is time to drag them out into the streets and punish them or just get rid of them. They have killed us with our own Liberty.
You see, the problem with lying is that you can’t ever be trusted again. At least by anyone with even half a brain.

You get it for free but the quality sucks. You have no say in how it works. The guy who runs it gets rich. There's no real competition. You have no privacy. And if you say one thing they don't like they'll shut you up. |

In the same fashion, big pharma sends money to the FDA and CDC.
Massive conflict of interest.

Good point.

Makes you wonder who funds the ‘fact checkers’ right here on FreeReublic.com, don’t it?
Sure does make us wonder who’s funding the FR VPs/FRoctors.
This is the sort of thing referenced immediately below...The government wants to disarm us after 245 yrs 'cuz they plan to do things we would shoot them for!
At no point in history has any government ever wanted its people to be defenseless for any good reason ~ nully's son
