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

        @mtracey you can't fact check a statement like "I will put working families first" from Hillary, but most ppl know it's a lie.

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

        @mtracey when Trump says the elections are "rigged", he's technically wrong about voter fraud. But the whole system is absolutely rigged!

        @nandorvila Yeah, it wasn't so long ago that majorities of Democrats believed the 2004 election was rigged by Bush

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

        @mtracey also, majority of statements can be both true and false, dependent on fact-checker bias. For example Clinton impeachment.

        @mtracey also, some fact-checks are outright lies. Assad not fighting Isis. And some too litteral, in irritating way.

      @mtracey If Trump said "2+2=4", @PolitiFact would rank it as "half true"

      @mtracey 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!

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