Who are they? What credentials do they have? Who checks on the “fact-checkers” to make sure they themselves are factual and accurate?
What are the standards for “fact-checking”? Impartiality? Honesty? Full disclosure of…connections…relationships…money interests…?
Is it the really the job of tech platforms to limit speech and content for “fact-checking”? Why? What if some people on FB or YT or Twit say things about the C-virus that “aren’t true”?
Dr. Fauci has lied on more than one occasion on that subject. Gov. Newsome of CA has told people to stay home…and then gone out to a restaurant to dine. Speaker Pelosi and Mayor DeBlasio both declared that there was no problem, no threat in Feb. 2020, even though there was an active and growing threat of the virus spreading.
Are we so stupid that we must be “protected” from such falsehoods and misrepresentations? Isn’t it better that they spoke…and then through later words or indeed actions they showed their misrepresentations?
If you are watching and listening with an open mind, you are able to separate truth from fiction. If you want to control others, you push for “fact-checkers”. At least…that’s how it seems these days…when the “fact-checkers” don’t check themselves or their own. When was the last time CNN or the NYTimes or the BBC fact-checked themselves on propaganda they presented as real news?
The NYTimes apparently opposes “unfettered speech”. The current euphemism for “Free Speech”. Do you?
