fact checking the fact checkers

[NFLTrends]

Obama gets 4 Pinocchios when he deserves it, Hillary gets 4 when she deserves it, the R's get 4 when they deserve it. Your later point is the usual attempt at false equivalency. If the R's lie more than Obama, they get more Pinocchio at these objective Fact checkeing sites. Any attempt to equalize things based on party lines would remove objectivity.

Seems that the R's tend to lie more on the left leaning sites, then they do on others.... and same with Lefts lying more then R's on right leaning sites.

When in fact, they lie equally.

So my point is, you can tell which way a site leans by which way the tend to favor one side over the other... which is obvious.

They don't lie equally. Luckily we have objective, fact checking sites like snopes, polifact, factcheck.org to cut through the BS, and expose lies whenever they are told, by whomever is telling them.

Snopes Caught Lying About Lack Of American Flags At Democratic Convention
Posted By Peter Hasson On 3:51 PM 07/28/2016 In | No Comments

Myth-busting website Snopes flagrantly lied about the lack of visible American flags on the first day of the Democratic Convention, claiming an image from the second day of the convention was actually from the first day in an attempt to debunk a factual story from The Daily Caller.

First, the facts. TheDC reported on Monday about the lack of visible American flags at day one of the convention. Several flags were briefly on stage for the national anthem and pledge of allegiance, at which point they were carried off stage, as the C-SPAN video for Monday clearly shows at the 35:40 mark. Even PolitiFact, which tends to lean to the left, noted that “when the color guard left, so did the physical flag.” After that point, the stage was devoid of any American flags for the remainder of day one.

[dcquiz] As reported by TheDC, the DNC added flags to the stage for the second day of the convention — Tuesday, July 26. That same day, Snopes writer Dan Evon wrote a “fact-check” article declaring it “false” that: “No American flags were on display at the 2016 Democratic National Convention.”

Evon offered as proof A) a screenshot from PBS’ coverage of day one, taken during the pledge of allegiance — before the flags were removed — and B) the below screenshot of C-SPAN’s day two coverage (visible at the 6:36 mark here) and claimed it was from day one of the convention. In fact, Mallory Weggemann — the paralympic swimmer who gave Tuesday’s pledge of allegiance — can be seen sitting in her wheelchair as the flag-bearers walk past her.

Snopes presented the above image as a screenshot from day one of the convention, captioning it: “Contrary to claims that flags were added to the DNC’s staging only after the Democrats were criticized for not displaying any flags at the event, photographs captured U.S. flags being set up on the stage prior to the start of the convention and in place on the stage during Day 1 of the event.” In other words, Snopes — which presents itself as a credible media source for debunking lies on the internet — flat out lied.

What’s worse, Snopes appears to have ripped that image from left-wing non-proft Media Matters’ coverage of the story. But even Media Matters — known for its misleading claims and hatchet jobs — didn’t claim that the screenshot came from Monday’s coverage. Apparently, it was too much for Evon to actually watch the convention on which he was presenting himself as the authoritative source.

Snopes also used the below Media Matters clip from Fox News as “proof” that flags were present on day one of the convention. But that video, like Snopes’ borrowed screenshot, came from day two of the convention. That clip, like the above image, confirmed TheDC’s report that the flags which were missing on day one were added to the stage for day two.

By press time, Snopes had not returned TheDC’s inquiries about their clear falsehoods.

But but but Guesstard says these fact checkers are 100% unbiased, and only report the facts? How can this be?

 

[festeringZit]

In Modern Wingnut World, where 2+2 =5, even facts don't matter. That's why they constantly belittle actual fact checking sites like snopes and factcheck.org and the various newspaper fact checkers. Wingnuts can't handle facts, so they make up stuff. Boy do I miss DEAC. What a mass of mess he made of Wrong Way. Not that it's difficult.

Guesstard chimes in with something really stupid, as usual. Wheeeee!!

 

[SheriffJoe]

not even fact checking means anything anymore, it's become just another vehicle for liberals to use as they abuse the facts

the liberal fact checkers are a bunch of liars

Right Way Willie right again.
