My only issue is that even facts can be spun. If there's going to be fact checkers, they themselves need to be routinely checked and their biases listed.

Also OP, I've checked your post history and can see a fair few news articles about conflicts over the world but zero mention of Gaza in any of them - is that your bias?

Edit: Yeah, I've now been shown some decent enough confirmation that OP is a Zionist and promotes disinformation. Case in point, agenda driven fact checking is an issue and we cannot trust random sources who proclaim to be such.

There are many competing fact checkers. Compare their fact checking.

If we have to manually fact check the fact checkers ourselves, it defeats the purpose of them in the first place.

Personally, I think it's annoying that this got down votes. It's short and dismissive, but it's correct. Sometimes it's just not worth longer answers.

Also, some arguments should be dismissed, just ask a judge.
