Louisville, KY — This won’t be news to most of you, but the so-called “fact checkers” can’t be trusted.
However, recently Congressman Thomas Massie (R-Kentucky) exposed the profit motive of one of the projects of factcheck.org, that being the COVID-19 Vaccination Project which purports to be some independent “fact checkers” exposing false claims on the experimental vaccines.
Who funds that “independent” project? Well, it’s the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation which holds $1.9 billion in Johnson & Johnson stock. Oh, and it’s CEO is Richard Besser, the former director of the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) under President Barack Obama.
On an aside, the revolving door between regulators and corporations is an ongoing bipartisan problem. Scott Gottlieb, who was President Donald Trump’s Food and Drug Administration Commissioner, is now a director for Pfizer.
In an April 24 tweet by Massie, he starts with: “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 fact-check .org is an unbiased source of vaccine information,” Massie’s tweet continued.
For that tweet, the COVID-19 Vaccination Project produced a hit piece on Massie but admits, as Massie noted in another tweet, that everything he stated was true. But what the project would like you to believe is that “the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation has no control over our editorial content.”
These deceptive “fact checkers” are a leading cause of censorship which creates an unthinking populace which relies on “experts” to form their opinions.
Daniel Horowitz noted the censorship of his articles in an April 27 article for The Blaze. He notes that any article he’s written questioning mask mandates to promoting vitamins that will boost one’s natural, God-given immunity has...

Who and what can we now believe? There is no news anymore, only opinions and “narratives”.
I may spend a lot of time in Fakebook jail for doing so, but goading the fakecheckers is my favorite hobby.
/has another account so FU FB
:D
I suspect they and others like them, also supply more than a few
clandestinely pro enemedia narrative posters right here on Free Republic,
and have been since as early as 1998.
Managing the narrative is a larger “industry” than most folks realize.
saw a meme on gab that said “Haven’t seen democrats this angry and furious since republicans took away their slaves”
the cdc that recommends lockdowns, masks, and vaccines for our citizens to combat a “deadly virus” is the same cdc that’s part of our government that opened the border, invited, and continues to distribute thousands of “disease carrying invaders” across our country during a “global pandemic”...

Hey, just because they've been groomed, recruited, and coddled since they were in red diapers, and regurgitate DNC talking points 24/7, does not make them shills.
Me also! Being shadow-banned a long time. They watch me closely. They banned two of my sites. Joined back in under different name and email. No one is seeing my posts.
Was it Facebook that was revealed to have a team of actual Chinese Communist Party members vetting its China virus posts? Amazing.
We need to weed these people out. This line nails it!

Completely Biased ‘Fact Checkers’ Are Now Tools to Disparage and Discredit Conservative Thought

I just posted this to my FB account. I goad them every chance I get. It’s one of my guilty pleasures, lol.
Many of my political posts don’t get any comments or likes but my humorous ones seem to get through. It’s not enough to say I’m being totally censored by FB because about half of my critical political posts get likes/comments. Maybe I’m just posting at a bad time and no one sees them...or maybe I’m being paranoid for good reason. I’m not gonna stop though. It’s too much fun!
‘Independent’ Facebook fact-checker exposed as partisan smear factory packed with CNN alumni

The CDC is a private entity, they get tax dollars and donations. Check out a list of the donors. Mostly drug and testing companies. The scientists at the FDA can hold patents for stuff developed on government time & taxpayers money. Now who do you think they both are looking out for, you or Big Pharma?
their actions prove that they don’t consider our citizens health a priority...
That one will get you a week in the hole.
/guess how I know that
