This new "fact checking" trend is universally seen as trustworthy... and it's going to be used in the 2020 election guaranteed..... Does anyone else see the bullshit behind it though? The flaws it comes with, and how easily it could be manipulated?
Heres a problem with these fact checking websites: A lot of the fact checking are based on the fact that what a person has said, or Trump has said, has no source behind it. Or at least, a source from a large journalist corporation... They'll call things that haven't been "verified" false. So, any opinion or evaluation that one might have can, and may be subject to being called a liar. When Trump says "they're bringing drugs" they'll put it as "Pants on fire" because there's no publication from a source that they deem valid that says so... Despite the fact that Trump has met with locals and local politicians and verified his assertions first hand.
To put this into context, if someone like Edward Snowden said that the NSA was spying, and people were fact checking him, they'd say he's lying about the NSA... that's just not the case. The fact checking system is so heavily flawed, and can be manipulated as well as I'll explain below...
It's insane how many times, on the fact checkings sites like politifact, that Hillary was able to say something and it was deemed the truth simply because a corporation like CNN or MSNBC said it was prior to Hillary saying it.
Who are they to dictate what's the truth and what's not? They have been shown to lie in the past, and have been extremely, and obviously, bias against Trump.
The fact checking problem starts long before the actual fact checkers, and even the fact checkers can make one person seem worse than another by cherry picking what COULD be deemed as a lie in a debate for one side, and cherry picking what COULD be deemed as a truth for the other side...

TLDR: Here is a clear example of a huge flaw in "fact checking"... Trump stated that CNN's ratings were down, and CNN as well as politifact are calling him a liar because their ratings are up... in relative to the years BEFORE. That is fucking cherry picking at its finest. Who are they to put in place what President Trump was comparing the ratings to? It could be the month before, or it could be in comparison from the week before, or before something negative happened to the station (which is most likely what he was comparing the ratings to)... Here's the bullshit "fact" checking link. This is pure manipulation... and it has been going on since this trend started.

obviously (((fact checking))), like shilling across social media and messageboards like this one, is controlled by democrat super PACs
this has been apparent since the election

well, duh
All they have to do is cherry pick. It's literally impossible to be 100% impartial.

The sad part is, people universally trust fact checking... there's going to be a battle to expose the truth behind.. and it's going to be just as hard as the battle with the mainstream media today... There's going to be supporters, and opposers. It's just so exhausting, dealing with the MSM is hard enough as it is already.
