    Stop fact-checking normative claims and subjective, value-based assertions! It degrades the entire enterprise of fact-checking! Fact-checking is obviously needed, but not the bizarre new version invented by oblivious, self-satisfied journos!

        Oh come on, this has been going on for years. Remember how the news media used to Live-Fact Check Obama? Besides, who knows more than the media? I mean, they actually *write* the news. Can't get anymore accurate than that.

        "write" the news sounds like it's fiction. the media isn't some all knowing, honest thing. they are biased and full of crap a lot

        Mostly False. While your tweet it technically true, it's misleading because it implies that journalists aren't the objective Guardians of Truth... which they clearly are.

        If you start a 'fact-check' by saying X was right but.... you've failed in your endeavor

        Agreed, except what you complain about is the only type of fact-checking that exists, in terms of "fact check" pieces published for the public. It's a feature, not a bug, so they will never stop it.

        How do you 'fact-check' an opinion?
