This is why you can't trust the fact checkers (https://www.thelastamericanvagabond.com/censorship/this-is-why-you-cant-trust-the-fact-checkers/)
these organizations tend to reinforce the narratives being woven by the mouthpieces in the corporate media and the puppet masters working the politicians. For a moment Facebook partnered with reviled "fact checker" Snopes, but, after Snopes was discredited (https://www.forbes.com/sites/kalevleetaru/2016/12/22/the-daily-mail-snopes-story-and-fact-checking-the-fact-checkers/#51fb8e96227f), Facebook has now partnered with companies like Lead Stories (https://leadstories.com/).
Lead Stories ... always using arbitrary standards and semantics to make a story appear to be false or misleading. ... As with Lead Stories and Newsguard, Africa Check uses semantics to label a story false or misleading (https://africacheck.org/fbcheck/newly-developed-liquid-mimics-tooth-enamel-but-cant-regrow-it/). Science Feedback uses a similar strategy... Interestingly, Africa Check's list of partners includes The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation..... Africa Check is also partnered (https://africacheck.org/about-us/our-partners/) with the George Soros-funded Open Society Foundations.
