The American right's association with reality is well known to be, uhh... tenuous. So it's not too surprising that they tend to disagree with people who verify facts.
Edit for downvoters: The mainstream positions of the Republican party are, objectively, factually incorrect on the issues of climate change, evolution, and women's health. I'm not aware of any issue where the left's position completely disagrees with established scientific fact. Thus, anyone concerned with basing their understanding of reality on facts is going to be "left-leaning" by simple virtue of the right's disregard for fact.
- dang 10y agoPlease keep partisan politics off HN.
- coldpie 10y agoI was explaining why fact checkers appear to be left-leaning, but OK.
- throwanem 10y agoMany on the right consider theirs to be the only political tendency compatible with reality, too. They're incorrect in so considering, too. I've vouched your prior comment because I believe its content should be visible. It would be a shame if anyone were to confuse that action with an endorsement.
