    The "fact-checking" cult has gotten out of hand. You can barely find a debate transcript that isn't littered with "annotations" by dorks.

        The whole "fact-checking" enterprise is mostly a farce, it's dweebs thinking they're great journalistic innovators

        I don't think it's even particularly ideological -- just pseudo "savviness," which I guess is itself an ideology of sorts

        They know exactly what they're doing with "fact" checking. Allows them to advocate under pretense of impartiality

        Twitter has a lot of faults but if I had to rely on MSM for perspective in this election I would have literally lost my mind!

        Most 'fact-checking' is opinion or self servingly picking one side among a set of legitimate positions.

        And these so-called fact checkers need to checked themselves. It's stupid. Let people figure things out for themselves.
