Glenn Kessler is one of the worst of the MSM jackals. I have learned to skip anything with his name on it.

Thanks for alerting us that the Jeff Bezos blog has continued its predictable mode of operation.

Even The Atlantic, a liberal publication, published a piece on Kessler’s dishonesty:

Stick your "fact-checking" up your wazoo. Trump's speech wasn't a documentary; it was a pep rally. And it worked.

Go fact-check Hillary. You'll need to add a second shift.

Instead of so-called fact checking of his speech, these keyboard a$$holes should get their butts out of their seats and out of Washington and go see how 9000 Americans fill a hanger and still have 20,000 standing outside!

They really need to be brought down to Earth with the rest of us. Just damn.

ROTFL. From #fakenews to #fakefactchecking. WaPo has turned into a parody newspaper.

You mean The Onion lives up to their motto America's Most Trusted News Source better than the real Establishment Media?

Fact checker at the WaPo — now that’s funny I don’t care who you are! It is obvious they don’t use fact checkers for their own writings.

Did they ever fact check:

“If you like your health plan, you can keep your health plan.
If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor.”

Or didn’t they do fact checking then...

Yawn.

It's Glenn Kessler and the Washington Compost.

Fake newser writing fake news at fake newspaper.

Not exactly a confidence builder for getting to the truth when the Compost is the one fact-checking the president.

Every time the MSM starts this crap, trot out...

‘You can keep your doctor if you want’, ‘

‘This medical ins. will cost the average family $2500 less a year.’

I have created 20 million new jobs’
