‘Is fact-checking dead?’ PolitiFact tackles Maria Bartiromo’s ‘Mostly False’ claims about US’ oil imports from Russia by … acknowledging she was right

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.”

The fact checkers are clinical. Notice how they spend all their time fact checking one side of any issue.

No excrement, Mr. Holmes.

I got your fact checking right here — “Orange Man Bad”.

Lefty "fact checkers" are so incredibly stupid that I suspect they are using a 'bot. On FakeBook, I posted a picture of Xiden's free face masks and made a comment to the effect that the label said their effectiveness for viruses had not be evaluated and said "Gee, I thought that was the whole idea of the masks."

Sure enough, their "fact checkers" posted a censor icon about the effectiveness of vaccines. Idiots! I wasn't even talking about the vaccines. I was talking about their own label on the N95 masks.

PolitiFact and Snopes.com are now officially useless. 😛😒

Fact checkers never existed until the truth started coming out.

The only thing that matters is the agenda. The truth does not matter.

[Alas Babylon!]

It NEVER was fact checking.

It was democrat spinning, whose soul purpose is to attack Republican/Conservative speech as false, even if it isn’t. Or especially if it just isn’t false, but makes the DNCMedia look bad.

Fact-checker jumps out of the plane with the boy scout’s backpack.

The fact checkers are part of the media. The media is what it is; it will not be changing. At some point, we are like the frog being surprised and upset that the scorpion stung us. They do what they do.

Biden is buying 70 million dollars a day in oil from Russia.
Apparently Biden hates American Oil and Gas...

Fact checking never had any real legitimacy because fact checkers are other journalists themselves. They have no more specialized knowledge of a subject than anyone else. They just use the label of “fact checker” to deny anyone has the right to disagree.

Consider the implied premise of the title. Fact checkers are supposed to support the liberal and Democratic positions and oppose everyone else. That makes them Democrat spokespeople not neutral journalists.

If anyone can demonstrate an Injury or Loss as a result of their Fake Fact Checking, it should rise to Criminal FRAUD and be Prosecuted.

The Fact Cheka: arresting facts, hauling them into the basement cells in Lubyanka Prison, holding a secret trial, executing them and then burying them in unmarked mass graves.

He thinks their oil burns cleaner than ours. So...
