Glenn Kessler's Shameless Lie [Washington comPost "fact checker" & his dubious methods]
The Atlantic ^ | 9/3/12 | Clive Crook

....I've got just one thing to say about Glenn Kessler. Fire his ass.

Of course I could criticize Kessler without calling him the filthy liar that he is. You know, exercise a little "restraint". On the one hand, on the other hand, all that crap....

....All you need to know is this. Kessler's just another pundit. By calling himself The Fact-Checker he claims the superior authority derived from the special property of a fact--that it's capable of being simply true or false. To do this is a Very Great Lie.

What is AMAZING about this is that Clive Crook expresses his disdain for the Republicans in the piece. He hates them. But he recognized that Kessler was even worse with the way he handled the truth.

I used to do everything I could to get on the Washington Post's nerves around here - and I was reluctantly gearing up to resurrect my past research on the Media scum scrum.

But - lo and behold - the #FakeStreamMedia, with Jeffy Bezos' foaming bloggers at the Washington Post leading the charge, strapped suicide belts on in the frenzied and futile effort to destroy President Donald Trump.

They detonated their credibility, and themselves, in the lead-up to November 8, 2016.

We no longer have to pay any attention to them. They preach to their own Media choir, and the 30% of the Lefty holdouts who hide on Twitter & Facebook like the Japanese soldiers who didn't get the surrender word at the end of WWII.

So called ‘fact checking’ was the genesis of fake news.
