Thanks for the response. You're right, but, I'm not trying to say that the headline claim of "false" is misleading with the body of the article. I'm trying to say something more nuanced... that the headline claim of "false" is misleading from the actual conversations happening out there right now. Which in a way is not a problem with just fact checkers, but the Internet as a whole. BUT... In my opinion, "fact checkers" by nature of their name have a greater responsibility to Internet discourse than the random comment thread or opinion article because they claim to be an authoritative source. I can't help but think of the Ministry of Truth.

Why keep reading an article that's placed wrong information front and center? The false info should lower your prior on anything else the article says... Unless of course you're just looking to confirm your biases, in which case you'll find whatever you want to find.

So basically someone proved their position thoroughly with regards to this singular claim, but you’re still skeptical towards the fact checkers because …? Kinda seems like the fact checkers were right here, and yet you still persist for whatever reason.
