Fact Checking the Fact Checker

This new trend of fact checking has reached absurd levels. It was obviously created to counteract fake news and media disinformation, yet it's just more disinformation with new branding. How this fools anyone is beyond me. You can literally quote sources verbatim and somehow it's fact checked as “mostly false”. This only works because people are generally too lazy to read past the headline and only look for confirmation bias. The good news is that the fact checkers are really bad at their jobs and prove themselves wrong in their own articles. They aren’t sending their best and brightest, that’s for sure. ► Video Source https://factcheck.afp.com/misleading-... https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1673645/
