Fact-checking” is like “fake news”: something that is now entirely in the eye of the beholder. At the vice presidential debate this week, the CBS moderators once again tried to show that they were the fair and impartial people in the room
Except that — as with the Trump-Harris debate — they only seemed interested in fact-checking in one direction. Against the Republican. On Tuesday night, the subject of Springfield, Ohio, once again came up. And once again, Springfield revealed one of the big problems of this media era.
CBS’s Margaret Brennan decided to fact-check something that JD Vance said and immediately relayed a piece of false information herself. Following Vance’s point about the number of illegal migrants, Brennan announced authoritatively that Springfield does in fact have “a large number of Haitian migrants” but that they have “legal status [and] Temporary Protected Status.”

These days, any person or group who calls themselves "Fact Checkers" are not interested in presenting the truth, but are "checking" the facts: as in the second definition of verb (used with object):
It depends on whose “facts” you use to do the “checking.”
(Fact Check’ Has Become Just Another Word for Censorship)
That’s absolutely correct
‘1984’ is in play
This is why I can't stand when people say "LEGAL immigration is great, it's the illegal we don't want." NO!
1) This is not 1880. The U.S. doesn't need a huge influx of people to build infrastructure. The only immigrants we should consider are those who make a VERY strong case for how THEY will benefit US!
2) "Legal" is nothing more than a pen-swipe or EO away from "illegal." Just as the Haitian problem proves.
In the other thread I mentioned the Russian Collusion story that was deemed to be true because it was the preferred MSM narrative but is now known to be false. Hunter's laptop would be another perfect example of the MSM preferred narrative. In the MSM narrative, the laptop was just a ridiculous conspiracy theory until the narrative was no longer needed and the truth came out.
Pretty much, along with “news reporting”, “election integrity”, and “DEI”.
As it is done by the Demonicrats or their Enemedia allies, ‘Fact Check’ has become just another word for giving aid and comfort to the domestic and foreign enemies of the United States.
I love the libs other fake word, manspaining:-)
That’s only a word on the Iberian peninsula.
Several of these “fact checking” sites were funded by left wing Democrat supporting organizations and promoted their beliefs while vilifying any truths that were not in line with theirs. Snopes claimed to be non biased but in the end was found to have severe left wing ties. Media Matters and Politifact are welded to Soros’ funding.
Indeed.
In fact, I’d say the entire left wing is being funded by Gyorgy boy.
Fart checkers are a joke when they work for the “media mafioso” that they fart checking on.
How can one who denies the existence of Truth be a fact checker?
We may elect a President who is married to an abuser of women.
No one is digging into his history of assault on women.
Where is Mee Too? NYT?

Along with misinformation and disinformation.
