Washington Post Only Fact Checks Republicans After First Day Of Impeachment Hearings

The Washington Post fact checked various statements made during the first day of public impeachment hearings Wednesday, but the roundup failed to look into any comments Democrats made.

The WaPo Fact Checker article was a roundup of only Republican Congress members, and the publication declined to include any statements from Democrats. The analysis, published Thursday, is titled “Fact-checking the opening day of the Trump impeachment hearings” and did not specify whether it was only intended for Republicans.

“Here’s a roundup of misleading claims made during the opening day of House impeachment hearings,” the article reads.

WaPo fact checked Republican Reps. John Ratcliffe of Texas, Elise Stefanik of New York and Michael Turner of Ohio. Republican Reps. Devin Nunes of California and Jim Jordan of Ohio were also each fact checked twice. U.S. diplomat in Ukraine William B. Taylor Jr. and senior State Department official George P. Kent testified during Wednesday’s impeachment hearing.

“Ideally, we would have liked to highlight at least one Democratic claim, if something had risen of the level of being an interesting fact check,” Kessler said.

Kessler seems to have a strange definition of the word "interesting."

Servile little commies.

Despite numerous opportunities to fact check Democrats, WaPo instead stuck with Republicans. The publication did similar in July when it declined to fact check Democrats during the Mueller hearings.

Socialists in the media, socialists in the congress....all giving each other cover and backup.

We need a socialist purge of this nation. McCarthy may have made some minor errors or mistakes but his overall goal was the right one.

The MSM is the enemy of the people. They think they are safe. That emboldens them. There must be a way to change that.

Because Democrats only deal in “facts”.

Didn’t find Pencil Neck’s claim not to know the whistleblower interesting?

The MSM is largely Comcast and Disney

The fact that WaPo is biased is not surprising. But the notion that dems' statements are sacrosanct makes it worse.

That’s because Stalinists Lie. Always

Inasmuch as THE WASHINGTON POST (which I call: THE COMPOST) is nothing more or less than a “house organ” of the DNC/DNCC, why would anyone expect that THE POST would point out the OBVIOUS/HATEFUL LIES told by DIMocRATS and/or even openly deny that the DIMs are trying to deprive our POTUS “by hook or crook” of the office that he legitimately won??
(For example: Adam Schiff, who lies even when the truth would better serve his goals.)

Adam Schiff, who lies even when the truth would better serve his goals.

Well said!

not surprised, but the self-destruction of the MSM is, nonetheless, fascinating to watch.

You mean something like “I don’t know who the whistle blower is.” Fact check that...

[KC_Conspirator]

WashPost is a farce.
