As an outsider I found it funny that people were so up in arms about trump lying during the campaign, when it was perfectly obvious that he was signalling to his base that he was not one of the hated insiders, not a political correct person or a democrat. The loathing of him by the establishment helped him, it didn't hinder him. As for fact checking, well with the attempts to stump out the Biden Laptop story and the ban on anybody thinking loud about the lab leak theory, we should assume that political fact checking cannot be neutral.
