    The “fact-checking” industry is a total joke.A bad joke. Worse than a 5-year-old’s knock-knock joke. As bad as a Chelsea Handler joke.Really, it is that bad.Just when you think that they couldn’t get any lower, they prove you wrong. They really exist to do nothing but buttress Establishment lies.https://t.co/NRHDSJONuy pic.twitter.com/LnJIVWeaBS— Daily Wire (@realDailyWire) May 3, 2023Randi Weingarten, for those of you unfortunate enough not to have read my article “Randi Weingarten is an evil liar,” is the President of the American Federation of Teachers.

  • ABC News Reporter, Who ‘Debunked’ Pizzagate, Pleads Guilty to Child Rape

    07/27/2023 7:00:06 AM PDT · by MNDude · 86 replies
    An ABC News reporter who bragged about ‘debunking’ evidence of an elite pedophile ring had pleaded guilty to a sickening array of child sex crimes, according to reports. James Gordon Meek, 53, who served as a national security journalist at ABC, is scheduled to appear in a Virginia federal court on Friday following his January 2023 indictment on child rape charges. He faces up to 20 years behind bars. The disturbing crimes were exposed after the FBI conducted a raid on the journalist’s Arlington home in April 2022. FBI officials were alerted by Dropbox in March 2021 of ‘sickening child...

    The Washington Free Beacon ^ | June 13, 2023 | Robert Schmad
    Nearly 100 percent of political donations from self-identified fact checkers—including those whose employers claim journalistic neutrality—go to Democrats, a Washington Free Beacon analysis of federal campaign finance disclosures found. The Free Beacon reviewed political donations over the past four election cycles from those who identified their occupation as "fact checker." $22,580 of the $22,683 in political donations that came from self-identified fact checkers during that time—a whopping 99.5 percent—went to Democrats and liberal groups. Only three of the fact checker donations made during that period went to Republicans. Top recipients include socialist Vermont senator Bernie Sanders, who during the seven-year...

    Author and journalist Michael Shellenberger has said that “U.S. and U.K. military contractors” have used “sophisticated psychological operations and disinformation tactics… against the American people” in sworn testimony in the U.S. House of Representatives. In a hearing of the Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government chaired by Jim Jordan (R-OH) on suppression of free speech by the government, Shellenberger presented the information he received from a whistleblower about the origins of the so-called “Censorship Industrial complex.” Shellenberger, one of the “Twitter Files” authors, coined the phrase “Censorship Industrial Complex” to describe the network of government and private entities...

    The New York Post's breaking news of emails purporting to show Hunter Biden scheming to make money off the family name has created a social media firestorm. Twitter began blocking users from sharing it almost instantly. Facebook didn't block the story outright, but they did announce almost immediately that they were "reducing its distribution on our platform." Even for the most sober observer, it sure seems like the social media platforms are interfering with the free flow of information relevant to our election. This is all the more so when you consider that stories critical of President Donald Trump, such...

    Is there anyone more in the tank for Team Biden than The Washington Post and its “fact checker” Glenn Kessler? In the latest blow to his own credibility (and his employer’s), Kessler has again sneakily “updated” an October 2020 fact check of a New York Post article that cast doubt on our 100% accurate reporting that Joe Biden, as vice president, was involved in son Hunter’s influence-peddling operation via a 2015 dinner with Hunter and Burisma big Vadim Pozharskyi. Kessler readily accepted the Team Biden line back then and simply parroted it: “Officials who worked for Biden at the time...

    Most conservatives understand that so-called journalists who call themelves “fact-checkers” function as enforcement arms for the current Narrative being pushed by the Democrat-media complex. But there are plenty of other people, who read only what the progressive media bubble allows, that still believe the job title has some legitimacy. For them, this nifty bit of research performed by Robert Schmad in today’s Free Beacon will be enlightening. Cutting to the chase for the answer to the headline above:The Free Beacon reviewed political donations over the past four election cycles from those who identified their occupation as "fact checker." $22,580 of...

    Yesterday there was a fact-check-a-palooza! Just to recap if you missed it, first the Washington Post’s Glenn Kessler took on claims that George Soros backed the campaign of Alvin Bragg, who is now Manhattan’s super-“progressive” District Attorney. Kessler called it an “incendiary claim”:Glenn Kessler @GlennKesslerWP New #FactChecker -> The incendiary claim that George Soros ‘funds’ Alvin Bragg Eventually Twitter’s Community Notes came along to fact-check the fact-checker: Readers added context they thought people might want to know Soros donated $1 million to the Color of Change PAC, the largest individual donation it received in the 2022 election cycle, days after...

    Red State. ^ | February 17, 2023 | Bonchie
    We are going to need a new industry that simply spends its time fact-checking the so-called “fact-checkers.” That’s the story after a new landmark study published in The Lancet offered vindication to everyone who touted natural immunity to COVID-19 as an alternative to vaccination. For years, the powers that be, including Dr. Anthony Fauci, the White House, and the press, dismissed the idea of taking natural immunity into account when debating vaccine mandates and vaccine passports. They were wrong, so much so that even the mainstream media are having to admit it. ... This study also puts to rest another...

    Attorneys representing the Missouri and Louisiana AGs in their case against the government have uncovered that the State Department was funding fact checkers possibly in the US. TGP reported over the weekend that the FBI and DOJ were working with Big Tech to target conservatives. This was recently confirmed, although we have suspected this of taking place for years. The Gateway Pundit readers know that The Gateway Pundit’s Jim Hoft is a co-Plaintiff, along with several doctors and a Louisiana news outlet, in Missouri and Louisiana lawsuit against the Biden Administration.

    Social media influencer An0maly has had it with the leftist social media fact-checkers and decided it was about time to put their ‘evil’ operations on blast in a new documentary. An0maly’s “MINI DOCUMENTARY” ripped Facebook fact-checking partners like Science Feedback and Lead Stories for shoddy work that causes posts to get censored. An0maly proclaimed he was going to “expose you frauds on every single platform” and make them “answer to the public.” He continued dressing down fact-checkers for their history of left-wing spin on facts while disguising themselves as truth gatekeepers. “Do you know you’re dishonest,” he asked. “Do you...

    USA Today said it has deleted 23 articles from its website after an investigation found that the reporter who wrote them used fabricated sources. The journalist who is said to have used the fabricated sources was identified as Gabriela Miranda, a breaking news reporter who resigned from the Virginia-based newspaper weeks ago, the paper confirmed Thursday. Miranda’s most recent news story for USA Today is dated April 17. According to the bio on her website, Miranda was assigned to cover “trending news nationwide” while at USA Today. Before being hired by USA Today, she covered education and the Hispanic community...

    NewsBusters ^ | 5/24/2022 | Joseph Vazquez
    Facebook and Instagram censored conservatives for their American energy independence statements even though fact-checkers disagreed on essential facts underlying the censored posts. Fact-checker Agence France-Presse (AFP) claimed the U.S. hadn’t been energy independent as part of an effort that censored the Media Research Center 27 times. Another approved fact-checker used the exact term “energy independence” that AFP employed to nit-pick the MRC. AFP censored 27 MRC posts combined on Facebook and Instagram between Feb. 28 and March 26. Those posts quoted high-profile figures, including former President Donald Trump, Tesla CEO Elon Musk, Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) and MRC President Brent...

It's like their race-hoax industry. If you see a noose on a college dorm of a black student, the odds are overwhelming that the noose was put there by a black student. If you see the N-word on a dormitory building, the odds are overwhelming that a black student actually did that. We're filled with race hoaxes." One of the...

    As many of Joe Biden’s critics have noted, the U.S. could send a very clear message to Russia by focusing on domestic energy independence. Russia has a lot less power on the global stage if countries don’t depend on them for oil. Fox Business’ Maria Bartiromo recently made a similar point on “Jesse Watters Primetime.”

Democrat mega-donors like Laurene Powell Jobs, Reid Hoffman, and George Soros teamed up to fund the Good Information Inc. start-up at its launch in 2021. As Breitbart News reported: The new project, “Good Information Inc.,” will be led by Democrat party strategist Tara McGowan, and according to Axios, “aims to fund and scale businesses that cut through echo chambers with fact-based information.” McGowan has been at the top of multiple companies with financial ties to...

    Five-time Emmy award-winning journalist Sharyl Attkisson said she has seen an increased effort to manipulate the public to appreciate censorship and disapprove of journalism. One of the strategies that has been employed is the use of third-party fact-checkers, she said.“Nearly every mode of information has been co-opted, if it can be co-opted by some group, [and] fact-checkers are no different,” Attkisson told EpochTV’s “American Thought Leaders.”“Either they’ve been co-opted, in many instances, or created for the purpose of distributing narratives and propaganda,” said Attkisson. “This is all part of a very well-funded, well-organized landscape that dictates and slants the information...
