The MSM is the enemy of the people. Period.
“Fact checking” = fake news. Desperate for credibility the media is urgently remanufacturing its propaganda to make it more palatable.
GayStateFactCheckers has announced that they will now turn their attention to the question of Nancy Pelosi having amassed a net worth of $100 million on a $175,000 a year salary.
I have to laugh every time my Leftist friends cite the Fact-Checkers for their ‘truthisms’. ALL the ‘fact-checkers’ are LEFT. Sadly, that’s lost on my Leftist friends.
Who’s Checking the Fact Checkers?
A new study sheds some light on what facts the press most likes to check.

I did a review of the “lies” database the WaPo has.
1) It’s not a database. It’s a spreadsheet.
2) I reviewed 1068 of their claims. It had such whoppers as “The economy is great”, which, according to their economists who have predicted 17 of the last 4 recessions with startling lack of embarrassment, is only able to be categorized as “good”. The whopper that apparently, Trump told over 150 times that the government of Saudi Arabia had agreed to $100 billion in arms purchases, when in fact they had agreed to, according to the WaPo’s own reporting, $100 billion in arms purchases. Why is that listed as 150+ counts of lies from Trump? Oh, that’s right. Because it was a 10 year deal and only $4.7 billion had been actually purchased, so he can’t claim what he was accurate on. Or the dramatic whopper of “1/3rd of women crossing illegally that were interviewed had been raped or sexually assaulted” when we ALL know it was only 31.7% or roughly 1/3rd.
The review left simple questions. Why was I still continuing to sift through such blatant piles of heaping dung? Who believes the propaganda they’re selling? Why did they put together such an easily provably false batch of claims? Of the 1068 I reviewed, I found that the vast majority were claims that he’d lied about opinions, lied about things that what he actually said was correct, but they didn’t like it, so they called it a lie, or simply him putting things in easy to comprehend English and so they called it a lie even though it wasn’t. There were 2 claims the President made that would be called “false”, and I believe one of them was that he made a mistake. The other was one that he was poking at the press to get them to report on something he wanted out there, and they refused to cover.
So, the big question is, why do these people still have jobs? Who is funding their lies? It’s insane that this is what we have to resort to. Correcting their propaganda on a hourly basis.
