It sounds like fact checked news, but is it? I would hate to give anyone mentioned in this article an example of the time they were falsely accused of somethin

    So this is the new fact checking, after the outrage machine is in full swing? I think everyone has seen how this works with alt-right social news blogging, and we've already seen this blogger feed the flames with false accusations retracted later. I don't agree with the likes of Zuckerberg (though I think even he is backtracking) that fake news can be algorithmically detected precisely due to this example blog. There is no proof of work in fact checking, so outraged "left"/"right" bloggers is worse than no information. If there's something to feed to the media do so, if there's something to feed to special prosecutors or the SEC even better.

No, like I legit don't have any idea what you're talking about, or if you're even responding to the right article. The claim: Tim Cook Appears Alongside Trump in Re-Election Campaign Ad Shot in Mac Pro Plant in Austin The fact check: The first line of the linked article is to the video tweeted out by Trump: https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump/status/1197316106236481539 https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump/status/11973161062364815... Beyond that, I have no idea where you're going with this.
