One of the internet’s most famous fact-checkers, former Washington Post writer Glenn Kessler, was grilled by author and podcaster Mark Halperin on Friday over media bias.
The man behind The Washington Post's "Pinocchios" announced in late July he would be leaving the paper without anyone to fill his shoes. Kessler, who reportedly edited more than 3,000 fact checks as editor and chief writer of The Fact Checker, announced that week he had taken a buyout deal, ending his lengthy career at the Post.
"After more than 27 years at The Washington Post, including almost 15 as The Fact Checker, I will be leaving on July 31, having taken a buyout," Kessler wrote on his Facebook page. "Much as I would have liked to keep scrutinizing politicians in Washington, especially in this era, the financial considerations were impossible to dismiss."
With his career and the Washington Post’s recent record in the spotlight among many shakeups at the publication, Halperin raked Kessler over the coals on his "Next Up" podcast.

Glenn Kessler, an unrepentant rouge maroon.
[He’s still a Commie, Jim....]
AI fact checkers replaced him.
Seems he lost Bezos’s support for some strange reason.
Question: Is AI a wonderful new technology that will benefit mankind with no negative effects.
AI Fact Checker: True.
Lol.
And AI is supposed to be unbiased :)
Captain Kirk: “Spock, tell me about the Washington Post.”
Spock and Bones in unison: It is dead Jim. It died in the election of 2024 and none to soon.”
A better match for his talents. How does he do that without falling backwards?
Maybe his crown is full of hot air. :-)
NOBODY beats him!
Bonds is on
Two out
(that’s how I remember the unnamed movie)
Really? And what "era" would that be? Face it, this translates to "I enjoyed sticking it to Trump." But in an unbiased way, I'm sure.
A Scottish man goes to his first baseball game.
He knows nothing about the game so when the first batter got walked, the Scotsman asked the fans next to him what happened.
“He got four balls, so he gets to go to first base freely,” to which the Scotsman stood, and clapping loudly, shouted “Walk proud, lad! Walk proud!”
Yeah, for fact checking I’d really be comfortable having the fact checker on the staff of the Wash. Compost.
LOLOL...stop it Kessler! You're killing me.
I love the dye job on his head. Like nobody can tell, lol.
Kessler thinks, or at least pretends to think, that Nicole Wallace is a “conservative.” He is not alone.
Bezos has indicated that he wants to move the paper away from communism and more in the direction of sanity (a decision which enraged many if not most of his employees), but I’m not sure if he does that it will even help much, as most of his dwindling number of paying subscribers won’t like that either.
