Leonard Goodman, a US attorney, writing at Scheerpost.com, delivers a sound critique of the present-day fact-checking industry, which has become something of a Left-wing cult, policing the new woke thing, “misinformation.” A past example was the Hunter Biden laptop, which the fact checkers said was a Russian fake, but which ultimately turned out to be true. The problem is that the fact checkers themselves have built-in political biases. Covid was another clear example of this, with the fact checkers opposing the lab origin hypothesis of Covid, and dismissing the high incidence of adverse effects from the vaxxes. Again, and again, the fact checkers turn out to be wrong.
