Fact Checker vs the truth
-
Our resident leftist discussion derailer, loves to bring up "fact checking" and claims that conservative sites are constantly failing the so-called "fact checks".
International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN) and its users claim that they are certified "independent" and "unbiased". Strangely, Facebook claims that they are "fact checkers" and do not get into opinion and political biases. This is important later when I discuss 2 of the lawsuits based on Facebook's use of "fact checkers".
Leftists uses a (IFCN) of "fact checkers" which consists of over 125 (not sure of the current number but it keeps growing) member orgs of "fact checkers".
Anyone who kept their eyes open over the last several years will have seen that Democrats were rarely, if ever, fact checked on social media sites. That is until Elon Musk bought Twitter
Liberals could spew whatever shit they wanted and the fact checkers never did their "unbiased" job. We know how insane they were trying to fact check conservatives. They would even change the quotes by conservatives so they can fact check them wrong.
Tim Pool was often the victim of this and he did several podcasts showing the actual video of him saying something and how the fact checker changed the quote, then fact-checked the altered quote. These fact checkers even blatantly lied in a fact check, claiming he was a speaker at some event in Iran. Not only was Tim not there, the event didn't exist.
A lot of "fact checkers" have been caught in scandals. Even Snopes, who used to be good, has turned to shit.
Several years ago, a fact checker from either The Atlantic or The New Yorker (can't remember which, but it's posted here) bragged that she used her position as a fact checker to lie about things and people. Not only did she admit to falsifying "fact checks" but she also admitted that she would lie on social media claiming she knew truth because of her job, which was agenda driven by whatever she wanted people to believe.
Back to Facebook, in 2 separate lawsuits, they claimed that their "fact checkers" (the IFCN) did not in fact "fact check" but rather they stated OPINION. Strangely, but not surprisingly, on Facebook's page discussing their "fact checkers", they still claim that the fact-checkers are stating facts and are unbiased.
Twitter 1.0 (when Jack Dorsey was the king of Twitter) had internal fact-checkers, but even they were extremely biased in favor of the left.
Twitter 1.5 (corporate Twitter) moved to using the IFCN.
Twitter 2.0 (Elon Musk as King) uses public fact-checking and liberals are losing their minds because FINALLY being fact-checked, without bias. You will find that the Twitter community fact-checking both sides. No more free rides for liberals.
Twitter 2.5 (the female CEO of part of the WEF, in charge of Twitter) is unknown because she won't take over fully until June.
Media Bias (worshipped by our leftist troll discussion derailer), a site that claims to be unbiased, MIGHT list 1 or 2 failed fact checks by leftist sites but will list a large number of failed fact checks, even if they have to distort dishonesty to do it. They don't mention that leftist sites lied about Trump's taxes, Russian Collusion, and countless other things. These people claim that things we know are the truth, as failed fact checks. These are things like COVID-19 coming from the Wuhan lab, gain of function, and countless other things. Not surprisingly, they don't mention claims about the environment, COVID-19, and countless other things that have been proven despite leftist claims.

In the last couple of weeks, it was proven that these so-called "fact checkers" are paid per "fact check" by IFCN with cash funneled from Facebook, Twitter 1.5 (see previous post) and many other leftist sites that use them.
Thanks to Elon Musk for making the contract that Twitter 1.5 had with IFCN public. It was confirmed by a "source" at Facebook that it's the same contract FB has with IFCN.
Even though I don't usually trust "sources", it makes sense that everyone has the same contract (money amounts based on size) since "big tech" colluded on most things, so it would be nearly impossible for them not to find out what the others's contracts were.

This is one of many examples of Snopes lying.

Politifact was created 16 years ago, and was very popular because it was unbiased and accurate. However, a few years after it gained it's credibility, it was taken over by extreme leftists. It should be renamed from being PolitiFACT to PolitiFICTION.
Many years ago, the network news and CNN were extremely reliable, now they are all not only worthless, but purveyors of leftist propaganda.
This has happened around the world in journalism. A few examples are the Soviet Union, the UK, Canada, and now the USA.

@raphjd Actually, Snopes was correct. The hardhat is on correctly, it is Joe Biden's HEAD that is on backwards!

What amazes me: how libs will manipulate & burn reputation of anything.
Libs have burned up reputation of academia, media, all security agencies, election systems, courts & judiciary....... No legitimacy remains in anything.
Even very concepts of "truth", "science", "fact" - now misused by libs to push garbage, until nothing remains, people roll eyes at any claim of authority.

As to "Fact Checker", the very title means "Propagandist".
Title's user asserts, with crudeness of 10-year old Hall Monitor who grants herself PhD, that she is so smarts you have no choice but to believe her ultra smartness.
Because "Fact Checker doing Fact Check" and she said so.
Fuck that.
So pompous & fake. Such a bad way to begin anything.
