Fact Checking the Fact Checkers
The advent of independent and media fact checking in the political spectrum has become commonplace in the last decade or so. But it hasn’t always been fair, especially from the media’s perspective. To no one’s surprise, the media’s role as fact checker hasn’t strayed far from its task as mainstream “journalist.” And just like their journalism proclivities, they’ve veered straight toward the Left and the Democrat Party.
More often than not, these so-called fact checkers are not fact checking anything, they are actually fact spinners and all they do is spin, especially when comes to political campaigns. It’s become apparent that fact checkers have become bona fide opinion pieces with an inflated sense of self-righteousness, with a heavy slant toward the Left.
Case in point was The Associated Press‘ take on last week’s final Presidential debate. The AP leveled the boom on anything they deemed close to inaccurate from President Trump, while apologizing for every Biden slip, of which there were many. Here’s more from Viva Frei as he dissects specifics from the debate.
