    Fact checkers were supporting President Trump when they found that he did not say that.

    It’s not about not agreeing. It’s about LIES!!! If you say someone said something and they never said to and meant it, it’s a lie. Even worse is inserting your commentary while reporting an event. It’s what happened for 4 years. Remember the Covington kids?? Racist white supremacists attacking a Native American?? Politicians supporting BLM which is based on pure LIES?? This has nothing to do with opinion. You can’t report a story and call people racists unless you have proof. You can’t support an organization that makes outrageous claims without agreeing with those lies.

    There’s truth and there’s fabrication.

    Facts are black and white. Either something was said/done or it wasn't.

    Q: Did Trump call white supremacists and Nazi's "very fine people"?
    A: False.

    There is no ambiguity in whether or not Trump called them "very fine people". There is no reason to simply pose the question and then not give an answer as to whether he did or not like Politifact did.

    What about Politifact's reporting was wrong? What was incorrect?

    They normally put "true" "false" or "mixture" or some sort of indication of whether something is true or not. They ignored that part. Just left it blank and then copy/pasted text from Trump's speech. In other words they didn't even do their "job" of reporting "fact" or "not fact".

    If you read the whole article, you'll understand. It wasn't very difficult to understand, frankly. But thank you for admitting that you couldn't think of anything they got wrong.

    Lots of media people got it wrong when they proclaimed the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation. A lot of them. But they'll never eat crow.

    Funny how you can't acknowledge that Politifact did not do their job and put their common "false" indicator in their article. You know, like they do with many of their other articles? Why do you think that they didn't?

    Funny how you can't actually detail what they actually got wrong. Why do you think you have failed to do so?

    Here's a hint:

    Where is it in that article? You know, their "symbol" that they use in every other article of theirs?

    All you are doing here is saying you wish they would have said more and expressed it differently. You can't point to anything they got wrong. Here's a hint: you haven't actually managed to articulate a real argument yet and you haven't yet shown anything these people got wrong, meanwhile you defend idiots who have EXPLICITLY lied to the public and you don't care about their outright lies. You don't actually care about the facts.

    The wannabe dictator is in office now after others cheated his way into office.

    :rolleyes: And all that you're doing is completely ignoring the fact that with every article of theirs they put those symbols in. In that article they did not affirm or deny the "complaint". They just stated the "complaint" and then copy/pasted a large chunk of what Trump and reporters said. If "fact checking" was simply stating the "complaint" and then copy pasting what someone said without giving an indication or even saying whether the "complaint" was true or false then why bother with "fact checking" at all?

    It's like rinsing dishes, not washing them and saying "good enough".

    So you still can't think of anything they got wrong and are, instead, whining that the should have done more to say nice things about Trump? Glad to hear your admission. As always, this isn't about facts, this is about Trump supporters whining that they don't have more of a safe space. It's like whining that your dishes are dirty and then kicking and screaming like a child because someone isn't providing you with free labor to do your dishes for you.

    And, again, you can't actually identify anything. White flag accepted.

    Trump was the one who tried to cheat himself into office, and he failed. Catch up. Learn.

    Why would I scream and kick? I do my own dishes. Don't even have a dishwasher.

    But its obvious that you are refusing to admit that Politifact did not "fact check". You know, they're supposed "job". And you're refusing to admit it because it doesn't support your narrative of Politifact being trustworthy.

    Then there is no use for complaining that Politifact isn't doing your dishes for you.

    But it's obviously you still can't think of anything they got wrong and you are just whining that they didn't promote your politics for you. I've asked you repeatedly for anything they got wrong, and you still can't come up with anything. Instead, you are just mad they didn't do more to promote your politics. Pathetic.

    You’re absolutely right, and to debate otherwise is a willful lack of intellect

    You just described Dirty Donnie's administration from start to finish. He exited spouting the Big Lie about election fraud. And his supporters still defend him and his LIES.

    Lets do a test. Did Trump lose a free, fair, and secure election ? YES or NO.

    It's an ancient trick: "don't you worry about all that boring critical thinking, we'll do your thinking for you" "we'll tell you what the problems are, and how to fix them".

    Fact Checkers are bringing back the theocracy of the Middle Ages, as fast as they can.
