Fact checking websites like this (which ironically tend to do lies of omission etc.) are probably among the most annoying minor consequences of the Trump presidency
Agreed.
The funniest part is that trump's lies were so obvious that they didn't even need to be fact checked lmao
It's basically just for libs to congratulate themselves. I'm absolutely certain not a soul on this Earth has ever been swayed from one politician to another by a fact check.
You underestimate the neoliberal desire to conform to the narrative.
I guess that’s not really “swayed” so much as just incorporating the new truth regardless of whatever the old truth was
Yeah, like maybe you'll get people switching from Mayo Pete to Kamala Harris or vice versa after reading a fact check article on some minutia, but they are basically the same politician.
Yep ime people just dig in their heels if you try to point out how something they believe isn't factual
one of my favorite people to imagine is a liberal guy who is surrounded by qanon people so he has passively absorbed a lot of that stuff but thinks it's bad. like he believes that tom hanks and hillary were hanged at gitmo but is really sad about it
Trump has been taking the mole children from their natural habitat!
And they still managed to make their "fact-checking" about liberal ideological talking points rather than verifiable facts.
Hillary Clinton: "The sky is blue". Fact check: mostly true.
Donald Trump: "The sky is blue." Fact check: did this moron know that there is a thing called "night"? And that the sky is dark black during it? In many parts of the world, night is over half the day. To say nothing of dawn and dusk when the sky changes colors. We rate this: pants on fire.
Love how internet services seized on Trump derangement syndrome to sneak in new ways to manufacture consent
Conclusion: missing context
Alright can you provide the much needed context?
:bugs-no:
I assume the pure absurdity of Twitter marking 280-character-limited posts as missing context will be entirely lost on the libs.
The best part is that this debunk is refuted by reading the fucking tweet
Where did the guy claim that corporate price hikes were the cause of inflation? He clearly said they are two separate things.
Love too have to fit appropriate context into 280 characters or less so I don't get 5 pinnochios
Where are Bird Site's servers? I just wanna talk :fidel-bat:

He's pointing out "perceived inflation" being high and companies exploiting that to profit maximize. I'm really starting to think this supply chain shortage narrative is just collective corporate propaganda to get people to change their perception and spend more.
Oh god, they've picked up the Sam Harris/Destiny/Vaush-fanboy tactic of just saying "you're taking it out of context" and then not specifying what the context is that's being left out -- which is literally all you have to specify to make it an actual point instead of just a line. God fucking damnit.
Good thing the economy is a system that is so well understood that we can just know for sure what is or isn't the root cause of "soaring" US inflation
Soaring is a pretty colorful word for a neutral arbiter of truth and decency
