Wasn't there some huge thing in the news about one of their political fact checkers being any actual liberal blogger? I seem to remember that from a couple of years back.
EDIT: Why was the question worthy of a down vote?
- j_bond 9y agoKim LaCapria I think.
- GrinningFool 9y agoThere was a blog post that got traction anyway. But why is that relevant? I (and assume most people) are capable of assuming different modes of writing, including modes devoid of opinion; or with opinion carefully noted as such.
- brightball 9y agoParent just asked for an example and I remembered that. People who feel strongly enough about something to write legitimately leaning fluff pieces are not the personality type that I expect to be able to assume writing modes devoid of opinion, personally. I know very few people who aren't considered moderate/independent who I believe could pull that off. These are the same people who've been proven to disbelieve factual information when it contradicts their world view. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=128490874 http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=1284908... That is the type of person that I would not trust in a "fact checker" position, especially one in which their version of events will be cited by others as "fact".
