EDIT: hello fellow hunter2 I’m not a right winger, conservative, or whatever. I’m more “leftist” than the average person, so I’m assuming I’m more “leftist” than the average fact checker. That doesn’t mean I’m absent of biases towards things that are not true. The fact checkers are not using the scientific method or any sort of standard based one evidence to make their determinations. They’re using politically aligned news sources and their own opinions. I’ve not yet seen any news by CNN or MSNBC or any other “reputable” news source be fact checked even though I know they regularly mislead and lie (maybe they have been and I’ve missed it - would love to see that). I’ve seen obvious bullshit by conservative media outlets be fact checked. And I’ve seen cases like this article where actual facts are superseded by political opinion. I’m not advocating for avoiding a truth bias, but that’s not what’s present. We can act all high and mighty and pretend like the left is guided by science, but it isn’t. We’re guided by what our side says is true and don’t question it and don’t look at the science. When someone actually looks at the science and negates what our side says, we fact-check it and say it’s misinformation.
