May as well have your tombstone engraved with that request. Maybe it will happen when our great-great grandchildren have finished paying our debts.
THEN somebody may be brave enough to do that in a History book by then. We can hope, anyhow.

We all KNOW about the media bias going in. Does that mean that we’re just supposed to let the potential Republican “flag bearer” voice whatever inaccuracies they wish?

“Economists debate whether the stimulus lived up to its promise or was worth the cost, but no one seriously argues that it created no jobs. Many believe it helped to end the recession even while falling short of its employment goals.”
Perry is absolutely correct. The “stimulus” didn’t create one job. It is mathematically impossible to go from 7.6% unemployment to 9.2% and claim there were net jobs created.

If you “know the media bias going in”, why would you accept the media opinion of what constitutes an “inaccuracy” and what is a “fact”?

What! You want to lose the pretense that you actually have an account that you pay into for your old age and admit that it IS truly a Ponzi scheme.
That would be honesty which is like garlic to politicians.

No, you are suppose to realize that AP and “Fact Check” are a in the tank Democrat Party propaganda organization. Taking anything they say seriously indicates a serious ignorance of AP’s long documented history of partisan demagoguery and reckless indifference to facts.

When it comes to government programs very few tell the truth - it’s not politic.

"Fact Check" facts checks by looking at what the Newspapers are reporting as assuming that is the "FACT". If anything said is different then what the Junk Media is reporting, "Fact Check" claims it is an error.
Given the overwhelming documented history of how error prone and dishonest our "news media" is, assuming a "fact" because someone in media published it is intellectually dishonest. Their "fact check" merely means what is being said by the politician agrees with the Junk Media's current propaganda line.
