Also, aren't a lot of "fact checking" organizations actually explicitly partisan advocacy organizations?
edit: I'm not saying all of them, downvoters. I can't be the first one to think a partisan "fact check" could be an effective political tool.
- Karunamon 10y agoI find that usually the people checking one side's arguments are their partisan opposites. It makes for pretty comprehensive coverage given the adversarial nature, but it also leads to stupid shitflinging when they just cant resist inserting their own opinions into it. Which the other side checks, and does the same thing. Basically, politics is an ouroboros.
- lukejduncan 10y agofor snopes and politifact the answer is no.
