re: #753 Killgore Trout

Predictably, fact checkers are suddenly unpopular again once the Dems are being fact checked. Just a few days ago fact checking was all the rage but the bipartisan war on facts continues. The reaction is absurdly predictable.

Except that NJD posted an article criticizing the factcheckers from the right.

And no, people aren’t actually flipping through the spectrum, they’re saying “The factcheckers got this one right”, and “The factcheckers got this one wrong”. What’s being mocked is the stupid idea that because someone calls themselves a factchecker they’re somehow agenda-less and more trustable than other people. I have no idea why idiots think people who self-anoint are holy, rather than judging them on their actual track record.
