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...

For the second time in three years, the Washington Post has quietly “updated” one of the most consequential fact checks in the history of American politics – its October 2020 article undercutting reports that Hunter Biden arranged a dinner meeting between one of his foreign business clients and his father, who was then vice president of the United States. The original article by the Washington Post’s chief fact checker, Glenn Kessler, was published the same day as the New York Post’s pre-election scoop revealing that Joe Biden had attended a 2015 dinner with a top executive of a Ukrainian energy...

A fake AP ‘fact-checker’ is hiding the real threat a California mental health services bill poses to parents and their vulnerable children.On April 4, Karena Phan of the Associated Press wrote an article attempting to debunk “social media distortion” of Assembly Bill 665, which was introduced as, “Minors: consent to mental health services.” This bill, authored by Assemblywoman Wendy Carrillo and state Sen. Scott Wiener, is making its way through the California Legislature. Phan contends that hysterics on social media claim the bill “would allow school mental health professionals to remove minors [12 and older] from the custody of their...

VIDEOThings got rather uncomfortable for Facebook "Fact Checker" Alan Duke when the National Pulse's Raheem Kassam and Natalie Winters pointed out the extreme political bias of his staff as evidenced by their Tweets.

VIDEOAlan Duke, the "fact-checker" for Facebook, appeared on the War Room on July 6 and it did not go well for him at all. At first Duke seemed somewhat rational but after being confronted by Raheem Kassam of the "National Pulse" and Jack Posobiec, he quickly devolved into a stumbling, sputtering hot mess of an epic meltdown as you can see.

… In 2019, China emitted 10.2 billion metric tons of CO2 — nearly twice as much as the United States (5.3 billion metric tons) — representing nearly 28% of global emissions. […] … “If you look at only one number, you’re only getting one side of the story,” says Shyla Raghav, vice president of climate change at Conservation International, an environmental organization headquartered in the United States. To get more insight, it’s worth looking at carbon dioxide emissions per capita. […] In the case of carbon dioxide, it is important to know that from a human perspective, the gas can...

Are you a recent college graduate who can't find a job because you majored in gender studies, art history, or interpretive dance? If so, you should consider an exciting and rewarding career as a Facebook fact-checker! Fact-checking has become one of the fastest growing specialties within the booming tech industry.

That's why good fact-checkers are in such high demand! But don't worry — fact-checking doesn't require a great deal of knowledge...

Glenn Kessler, a fact-checker from the Washington Post, has stated that he will not count false claims made by President Biden during his presidency similar to how they were counted during the Trump presidency On an interview with CNN, Kessler stated that “in the case of the Biden-Harris transition team, we identified five factual statements he made and we wanted to know what was the basis for this. Within fifteen minutes we received citations to those factual statements and they all checked out.” WashPost 'fact checker' Glenn Kessler won't count false Biden claims like Trump's: "I assume the Biden presidency...

This is so bad that I could probably present the quotes in this article without comment. The Washington Post’s top “fact-checker” decided to get into a back and forth with Stephen Miller (the other one) today. It did not go well for the former. The topic of conversation was the fact that the Post is being very selective in what they even bother fact-checking when it comes to Biden, specifically on his pledge to not ban fracking during the campaign. Glenn Kessler chimes in to let it be known that they only fact-check “policy” and not general statements. That’s a...

The Washington Post's so-called "Fact-Checker" omitted critical facts from his article criticizing President Donald Trump's condemnation of the World Health Organization. On April 17, 2020, Glenn Kessler's "Analysis: Trump's false claim that the WHO said the coronavirus was 'not communicable'" gave President Trump three out of four "Pinocchios" for the allegedly deceptive statement that the WHO "publicly endorsed the idea that there was not human-to-human transmission happening" and that the WHO said it was "not communicable."

A key witness’ to a recent Senate Judiciary Committee hearing exploring Russian meddling in the 2016 election has reaffirmed his testimony that the secretive Washington firm, Fusion GPS, which commissioned the sensational anti-Trump campaign research dossier, received payment from the Kremlin.Last week a Washington Post “Fact Checker” article assessed a statement by White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders in which she said, “The Democrat-linked firm Fusion GPS actually took money from the Russian government while it created the phony dossier that’s been the basis for all of the Russia scandal fake news.”The article—which awarded Mrs. Sanders “Three Pinocchios” for what...

Snopes.com is a failed liberal blog from 1994. The website claims to be the internet’s oldest and most popular fact-checking site. Last year, Snopes Co-Founder was accused of embezzling company money, and spending it on prostitutes. Another victim of the fake news campaign backfiring on the left… Snopes has repeatedly attacked The Gateway Pundit and Breitbart News as fringe conspiracy sites that President Trump reads. Good riddance, Snopes! According to Tech Crunch, the $500K goal is just so they can get by until the end of the year. A little background on more reasons why Snopes is imploding:

So how could the Washington Post Fact Checker, Glenn Kessler, possibly avoid awarding a bunch of Pinocchios on April 6 to Susan Rice for her recent flip-flop on the unmasking of Donald Trump campaign people? In a March 22 interview with Judy Woodruff, Rice denied any knowledge at all of this yet she later admitted to unmasking names in a MSNBC interview on April 4. Kessler acted all perplexed about the contradiction. He was so busy scratching his head over this that he somehow forgot all about the very obvious Pinocchios that should have been awarded while wondering Did Rice mislead on...

Here's the report describes the "ads": In 1969, Fred Trump plotted to run for mayor of New York … He made two test television commercials. One of them, called ‘Dope Man’, featured...

Fact checking sites that don’t check facts, but spin them “O brave new world, / That has such people in ‘t!” One progressive ex-fact checker has boldly announced that it’s time to forget about the facts. No one cares about them anyway. “It’s Time to Give Up on Facts,” is the title of her screed.

The founder of Snopes has been accused of stealing tens of thousands of dollars from his far left "fact checking" organization and blowing it all on hookers. Daily Caller reports: The founder of mythbusting website Snopes, which was recently tapped by Facebook as one of four “fact-check” organizations patrolling the site for "fake news," embezzled $98,000 in company funds before spending it on "himself and the prostitutes he hired," according to legal documents filed by his ex-wife reviewed by the Daily Mail. After divorcing from his first wife, Barbara Mikkelson, David Mikkelson married Elyssa Young, a former porn star and...

Popular myth-busting website Snopes originally gained recognition for being the go-to site for disproving outlandish urban legends -such as the presence of UFOs in Haiti or the existence of human-animal hybrids in the Amazon jungle. Recently, however, the site has tried to pose as a political fact-checker. But Snopes’ “fact-checking” looks more like playing defense for prominent Democrats like Hillary Clinton and it’s political “fact-checker” describes herself as a liberal and has called Republicans “regressive” and afraid of “female agency.” Snopes’ main political fact-checker is a writer named Kim Lacapria. Before writing for Snopes, Lacapria wrote for Inquisitr, a blog...
