There’s a big difference between actual fact-checking, and the “fact-checking” industry which is controlled by powerful interests to help sell their narrative.

AKA do your own research? On Facebook and TikTok?

The "fact-checking" industry, lol. Fact-checking things is a skill anyone could develop, you don't need an industry.

You won't find the sources for every thing out there, but you can find out a lot if you know how to critically examine information for yourself. Which is better than depending on someone else to fact-check for you, IMO.

I didn’t invent the term. Not my fault you don’t know it.
