I've been seeing so much of this specific style of "debunking" lately, where they debunk something no one has said or cares about but it's close enough to the actual thing.

Another example I recently found of this is this USA Today fact check of whether Biden voted to overturn Roe v. Wade. (Spoilers: he fucking did.) Instead of fact-checking the actual claim they fact check whether he authored the bill himself lol, and then down in the seventh paragraph they say
