Sometimes you see something related to politics that is just so perfect it has to be shared. A USA Today fact-check that dropped yesterday is one of those things, and keep reading because it’ll become very obvious why in a moment.
Daniel Funke, who describes himself as “checking facts + covering misinfo” on Twitter decided to take on those who said that Joe Biden checked his watch during the dignified transfer of the 13 US servicemembers last week. That tragedy occurred at the hands of an ISIS suicide bomber after the Biden administration outsourced security to the Taliban.

So it adds "Missing Context" to the post because he checked his watch SEVERAL times as opposed to just once. Of course it doesn't say what context is missing!

It looks like Biden is the only Catholic who honors the dead in that unique fashion!

Psaki dodged a question about the topic. That meant the administration liars had no deniability.

This missing context is that he has late stage dementia and this is what they do.

Whenever I see a "fact check" I automatically know it is a propaganda propagation program. There is no truth, just graffiti-sprayed lies masquerading as facts.

He even said "Watch the video"...which PROVED it was more than once, and during the event, not after. Perhaps HE should have watched it 1st instead of merely coat-tailing on other "Factcheckers" attempts to give Biden 'cover'.

Someone from on the of the families present said that he checked his watch after or as coffin went by. I don't know if that entirely accurate.Also, between joey and jilly they have no idea of where their hearts are as evidenced by where they placed their hands. AND joey as CIC should have been saluting.

FTA: "...the fact-checking industry is a joke. The only reason it exists is to serve as a facade for partisan hacks to appear as if they operate from a place of authority."
That's the truth. Conservatives need to get more active on this front.

If Twitter lets something political stand, you know its a lie. Any truth is immediately censored out of existence, unless it is damaging to anyone on the right. Usually in that case, it is blown so far out of proportion (Trump getting two scoops of ice cream comes to mind) that the post is nothing but propaganda.

Remember when one of the Bush presidents was blasted for looking at his watch during a presidential debate?
To the media, it was the ultimate sin.

The fact is, he wasn't looking at his watch, he just didn't want to look the families in the eye.

Family members of the thirteen flown to Dover stated that Xiden glanced at his watch after each casket. This so-called fact checker is now outed as a in your face liar. What are his employers going to do about him? Better still, what are we going to do about his employers?
Reasons to cancel one's subscription to the Tampa Bay Times are legion, but the TBT's "fact checking" arm, the relentlessly dishonest PolitiFact, is, for me, chiefest. I wish I could cancel my subscription again, every daily, but such an action would reek of superfluity. The moderately conservative Tampa Tribune, Pac-Man(ned) up by the Times a few years ago, was the Tampa Bay area paper that should he survived. Our loss.

Another problem with what happened during the event: Commanders in Chief do not put their hand over their heart on such an occasion - they salute, for crying out loud!

If the MSM were objective honest reporters of the news why would we need a fact checking industry ?
Ignore the MSM and the "fact checkers. Check the facts yourself.

What's truly pathetic is that this is the kind of 'victory" that conservatives are reduced to celebrating. For the ages, my donkey.

#20, President Reagan started that saluting stuff. I don't like it. It should be reserved for those in uniform.
Dementia Jo's hand over his heart was the only thing he did correctly, in my opinion.(which I continue to value highly.)
Mrs. Lakerman said that she heard one excuse offered for thw wristwatch watching was that Dementia Jo wears a rosary wrapped around his wrist.)

Like I have been saying for the last ten years: Any person or group who calls themselves "Fact Checkers" are not interested in presenting the truth, but are "checking" the facts:
as in the second definition of verb (used with object):
2: to restrain; hold in restraint or control.

With Trump, fact checkers were there to prove that every word out of Trump's mouth was a lie and wrong. With Biden, the fact checkers are there to prove that every lie out of Biden's mouth is proven "true" and correct. The fact checkers job is to twist the facts until they are true to show Biden in the best light possible.

Hysterical. If late night shows and SNL had any brains, they'd hammer away on nonsense like this. It's some of the funniest stuff happening right now.
